Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee are confirming a split.
In a statement, the pair said that they remain “caring friends with admiration and respect for each other.” They got married five years ago at Joel’s mansion on New York’s Long Island.
A representative for Joel did not immediately respond to the question of whether the couple were getting a divorce.
This was the Piano Man’s third marriage, her first.
The 60-year-old Joel is one of pop’s most successful singer-songwriters; Katie Lee Joel hosted the first season of Bravo TV’s “Top Chef.”
He recorded the song “All My Life” as an anniversary gift to his 27-year-old wife two years ago.

Call me Mr. Wilson (the basketball) and with me she can rebound!
Just look at the picture. She’s model material and he’s a troll. Love is blind? I don’t think so. What a payday she has coming for 5 years of marriage to an old guy.
