Christie Brinkley, the iconic supermodel and entrepreneur, is approaching her 70th birthday with an open mind and an open heart. In an interview with PEOPLE, Brinkley shares that she remains open to the possibility of finding love, despite the challenge of not finding anyone suitable thus far.
However, Brinkley doesn't let the lack of options bring her down. She is content with her life as it is and embraces the philosophy of 'que será, será' – whatever will be, will be. Throughout her life, she has believed in the importance of finding happiness on her own, ensuring that any future relationship would be built on genuine reasons rather than a sense of need.
Even with her busy schedule, which includes running her own certified organic wine brand, Bellissima, collaborating on the launch of a new lifestyle and apparel brand, TWRHLL, and being a brand ambassador for RYZE adaptogenic mushrooms, Brinkley still finds time to pursue her passions and dreams.
At the top of her bucket list is traveling, with destinations like India, Tahiti, Thailand, and Bali calling her name. Brinkley also wants to enhance her cultural experiences by taking Italian lessons to better converse in one of her favorite countries, Italy.
Despite her accomplishments, Brinkley remains humble and committed to giving back. She expresses a desire to use her success, particularly with TWRHLL, as a means to make a significant impact on others' lives. Helping those in need and making a difference in the world becomes a priority as she reaches the milestone age of 70.
While romance may or may not be on the horizon for Brinkley, her true happiness lies in the presence of her beloved family and friends. As a mother of three – Alexa Ray Joel, Jack Brinkley-Cook, and Sailor Brinkley-Cook – she finds joy in their company, believing that being surrounded by loved ones is the epitome of happiness.
Christie Brinkley's journey through life teaches us valuable lessons about self-fulfillment, pursuing our passions, and the importance of genuine connections. As she embraces the road ahead, we can all learn from her open-mindedness and acceptance, reminding ourselves to be content with our lives while continuously pursuing our dreams and making a positive impact on others.
