"Christie and Billy have a good relationship," a source said, according to the National Enquirer. "She can talk to him about anything, even her love life, which has been dismal of late."

The 69-year-old covergirl has apparently hit a dry spell after her year-long romance with rocker Mellencamp, 72, crumbled.

"She hasn't had any dating prospects and is getting desperate," the snitch added. "Still, she refuses to try a dating app or service because she thinks it's beneath her."

Sources told The National Enquirer that the supermodel "is wearing out her welcome" with frequent visits to their New York City home. The report said Brinkley got into the habit of sing-a-longs with Joel and their daughter while they were married — and she hasn't kicked the habit since they split decades ago.

"Billy and Alexis want to have their evenings to themselves, and they've got other friends they'd like to see on their weekend nights," an insider said, adding that Joel thinks the world of his ex-wife but has his hands full raising two young children with the 41-year-old.
