Billy Joel shares exciting news

Billy Joel is set to become a dad for the third time, at the age of 68.

The Piano Man singer confirmed he and wife Alexis Roderick, 36, are expecting their second child together.

Joel also has a 31-year-old daughter Alexa with ex-wife and model Christie Brinkley.

"We are due next month," he told the Belfast Telegraph.

Joel went on to say his idea of fun was hanging out with the couple's two-year-old daughter, Della Rose.

"She's a hoot. She's a funny kid. She loves to laugh. I like to make her laugh."

The couple welcomed Della in August 2015, a little more than a month after they married in a surprise ceremony held at their home in Long Island.

The six-time Grammy winner and Roderick, a former Morgan Stanley executive and accomplished equestrian, met in 2009. Roderick is Joel's fourth wife. 

In the interview Joel, who performs monthly shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City, also spoke about his dislike of President Donald Trump.

He said he often drives past his New York home while riding his motorbike, and flips the finger.

"I do that all the time," he says. "It is probably on film somewhere. I'm sure they've got cameras all over the place. I'm not a fan. I think he's got a pretty thin skin. I don't think he is very happy in the job. I don't know what he's doing there. And neither does he."
