Peter Cook has claimed his relationship with ex Christie Brinkley is “strained,” but will one day mend, in an interview on “Geraldo At Large,” which aired over the weekend.
“[It’s] very strained,” Cook told Craig Rivera during the Fox News Channel program interview “But I think it — with anything, time will heal.”
Cook and Brinkley reached a settlement in their divorce, late last week. Cook was granted a settlement of $2.1 million, Brinkley’s attorney confirmed in a statement last week.
While he was not happy with how the former couple arrived at the settlement, he was pleased with the results.
“I’m not satisfied that we went to trial. But I’m satisfied with the decision or the agreement we came up with, yeah,” he told Rivera.
Though sources previously told Access that Brinkley received sole custody of the couple’s children – Sailor and Jack, in the split, Cook said he is committed to staying involved in their lives.
“I’m gonna be very involved with my kids, as I have been their whole lives,” Cook said. “And where my life goes now is back — back to where I was, a father and an architect.”
Cook said his biggest regret was “not making a better decision three years ago… with [Diana] Bianchi,” the 18-year-old he had an affair with during his marriage to Brinkley.
