ALEXA RAY JOEL MOVES ON WITH NEW BOYFRIEND
Singer ALEXA RAY JOEL is moving on from the heartbreak that prompted her overdose last year (09) with the help of new boyfriend CASS DILLON.
The 24-year-old daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley was hospit alised in New York in December (09) when she complained about breathing d ifficulties after taking homeopathic medication Traumeel.
She later revealed the breakdown was prompted by a fight with her ex-bo yfriend Jimmy Riot, after he refused to accept a Christmas gift from her.
She said, "I was in such a dark place. My soul was shattered. I only fe lt OK with him. I couldn’t play a show without him. I was addicted to thi s man, and it spiralled out of control. My heart broke all over again." But, six months on from her breakdown, Joel has found happiness with si nger/songwriter Dillon. The pair met when Dillon was hired to play guitar on the star’s upcoming album, reports People.com.
And Dillon, also 24, already has a connection to his new girlfriend’s r ocker father - he recorded and released the charity single Christmas in F allujah in 2007, a track originally written by Billy Joel.
