I Like It I Don't Like It
Christie Brinkley and her estranged hubby Peter Cook have reached a settlement in their divorce case, "The Insider" has confirmed. Christie will get sole custody and Peter will receive parenting time. Christie will also give Peter $2.1 million dollars while she gets to keep all properties.

 

In a statement to "The Insider" her attorney Robert Stephan Cohen says, "After five days of trial and for the sake of their children, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook have reached an agreement. Ms. Brinkley received sole custody and decision making for the children. Peter Cook was granted parenting time and a financial settlement of $2.1 million. Ms. Brinkley will continue to individually own all of her real estate properties."

"The Insider" was there as the estranged pair entered the courthouse this morning, where the former model said she was "very pleased" with the settlement, adding that she "had been up all night" and didn't sleep "a wink." Meanwhile, Peter told the press, "I didn't think we'd be here today."

Soon after exiting the courtroom, Christie talked to the press, saying, "I was here fighting for custody and I think a mother's greatest fear is someone trying to take her children, trying to get custody of her children, and that's what I was up against. [The settlement] is all I could every want."

But all Peter said while leaving was that he was "relieved."

The attorney for Peter's former mistress, Diana Bianchi, has given "The Insider" an exclusive statement saying, "the settlement should put an end to this chapter in all of their lives and Diana is looking forward to moving on and putting this all behind her. This has been a media frenzy and put her in the spotlight and she is looking forward to regaining her private life again. She is all grown up and becoming a woman and looks forward to embracing her future."

Meanwhile, another attorney for Bianchi tells "The Insider": "She is moving on with her life, seeks her privacy and has refused numerous requests to be paid to tell her story."
