Billy has said his daughters keep him young.
ShutterstockIn talking about his younger daughters in 2019, Billy told Rolling Stone that having babies in his later years comes with one major difference. "People think I’m my kid’s grandfather. I take [Della] to school and one of the other parents will go, 'Oh, your granddaughter’s so cute.' I just say, 'OK, thank you,'" he said. "I didn’t know that I would be a father again at this age, but I’m glad I am. They keep you young."
When asked if he's learned more about women by being a father to three daughters, he said, "All my life’s been women. I was raised by women—my dad wasn’t around. I’ve been married numerous times, and I’ve got three daughters. So, a lot of estrogen in my life." (Roderick is Billy's fourth wife. Before Brinkley, he was married to Elizabeth Weber Small and after divorcing Brinkley, he was married to celebrity chef Katie Lee.)
He described his own upbringing as "very gentle." "It was very loving, very warm, and I appreciate that about women," Billy said. "I see that in my daughters too. I’m gonna bring up these kids who one day will be mothers themselves, and I hope they’re like my mom."
