Introduction to Jack Paris Brinkley Cook
Christie Brinkley is having fun with loved ones — including her son Jack Paris Brinkley-Cook and his new girlfriend — on a tropical getaway.
On Friday the model, 69, posted a carousel of images to Instagram of herself and her family and friends having fun together at a picturesque tropical location. In one video and image, the group is enjoying a meal together, while other images feature the family on a boat.
Brinkley also included two images of her son Brinkley-Cook, 28, on the beach with his girlfriend, Canadian tennis star Eugenie “Genie” Bouchard.
Born on June 2, 1995, in Malibu, California, Jack Paris Brinkley Cook grew up in an environment infused with creativity and glamour. His mother, Christie Brinkley, is one of the most renowned supermodels of all time, gracing the covers of numerous fashion magazines and serving as an inspiration to many. His father, Peter Cook, is a respected architect. Growing up in such a distinguished family, Jack was exposed to the intricacies of the fashion world from a young age.
Education and Career Beginnings
After graduation and (by some accounts) a brief period as a college student, she moved to Paris in the early 1970s. While studying art and working as an illustrator, Brinkley was “discovered” by an American photographer and began her career as a model. She soon signed with the Elite Model Management agency.
Modeling Career and Achievements
Brinkley proved so popular that SI put her on the cover of its annual swimsuit edition for three consecutive years, 1979–81. She also graced the covers of Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and many other magazines. The exposure made her a household name.
Personal Interests and Philanthropy
She walked the runway at New York Fashion Week in 2019, and has walked for brands such as Dolce and Gabbana. In 2019, Cook performed on the American version of Dancing with the Stars, filling in for her mother who was injured at the time, overcoming her nervousness about dancing.

Christie Brinkley has an enviable career, but she’s most proud of being a mom to her three kids. The former Sports Illustrated model welcomed her first child with her ex-husband Billy Joel, daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 38, in 1985.
Future Prospects and Ambitions
I never really felt the pressure of following in my mom’s footsteps. My little sister [Sailor] has these incredible blossoming careers in modeling and photography. My oldest sister [Alexa] is a musician, and she does shows all over and does really well. My mom was good about encouraging us to do what we wanted. She wanted us to find our interests and then pursue them.
Don’t let Jack Brinkley-Cook’s good looks fool you—whether catching waves in Montauk or taking hikes in Bridgehampton, you’ll likely find the 22-year-old son of supermod Christie Brinkley hitting the outdoors instead of a nightclub—with the exception of Surf Lodge, of course.
