Peter Cook has no regrets marrying Christie Brinkley
July 14, 2008 10:54 pm Celebrity Divorces
Peter Cook’s reputation is pretty much a mess, but looks back on his marriage with Supermodel Christie Brinkley without regret.
He told the Daily News “I will never regret marrying her, we had great times for 10 years. I’ve got two beautiful children.”
The divorce settlement with Brinkley, which left Cook publicly exposed as a two-timing sex-obsessed rat bag, has closed a very dark chapter in his life, “My only option is to be healthy, happy and prosperous,” he said. “If I’m not, how’s that good for the kids?” Cook believes most people will forgive him the sins detailed over eight days of lurid testimony.
“Intelligent people understand that we are all imperfect, that we all have flaws,” said Cook.
“Short of Mother Teresa, the Pope and Gandhi, no one really wants every dark corner of their life exposed to the world, and certainly not to their children.”
Wearing a Rolex on one wrist and a black bracelet on the other Cook seemed relaxed in a T-shirt, white jeans and flip-flops, sitting with current girlfriend Suzanne Shaw.
Cook had wept on the stand at a public relations thrashing while confessing his sexual antics, which included spending $3,000 a month on Internet pornography and masturbating live for a cyberaudience via Web Cam. He also confessed paying $300,000 in hush money to an 18-year-old girl after their sordid affair – which included sexual liaisons in two homes owned by Brinkley.
Asked what he was looking for in his next relationship, he replied, “A brunette.” And asked what he’d learned from the whole experience, the architect said with a laugh, “You call your lawyer before you tell your wife anything.”
