Christie Brinkley has filed for divorce to end her marriage to estranged husband Peter Cook.

Now Cook's lawyers have confirmed the former supermodel's legal action.
"We have been told that a divorce action has been commenced in Suffolk County, and we have agreed to accept service of those papers," lawyer David Aronson said.
"He regrets that this happened. He was hopeful that he and Ms Brinkley would be able to work their way through this problem and put their marriage back together, but obviously she has decided otherwise.
"He has instructed us that we are to handle this matter in as amicable and private a fashion as possible under the circumstances, and he hopes that everyone out there can respect the privacy of Christie and the children."
Aronson said no decisions had been made about the division of their property, or custody arrangements for the children.
The divorce papers have been filed in Suffolk County Court, New York.
Brinkley, 52, announced she and Cook had separated in July. He is her fourth husband.
The couple married in 1996, and have a daughter, Sailor, who is eight. Cook also legally adopted Brinkley's son Jack, who is ll.
Brinkley's representatives have refused to confirm or deny the action.
The couple's relationship broke down earlier this summer when Diana Bianchi, claimed she had a relationship with Cook while working at his architects firm.
Cook issued a public apology to Brinkley and said he wanted her to take him back.
