Christie Brinkley has a new take on marriage after four divorces.
The famed model, 71, chat with Kristen Davis on her Are You a Charlotte? podcast on Thursday, expressing a new twist on the concept of holy matrimony that introduces elements of leasing.
Davis, 60, asked Brinkley, who has been through four marriages, if she felt the idea of a lifelong monogamous relationship was ‘outmoded.’
The Monroe, Michigan-born model said she felt reviewing a relationship ‘every five years’ would enable people to exit stagnant romances without absorbing the costly financial and emotional tolls that divorce brings about.
‘You could get married, like, “We’ll see if you want to renew it in five years,”‘ the Uptown Girl beauty said. ‘Every five years, go, “Do you want to renew?”‘
The National Lampoon’s Vacation star told Davis: ‘If you’re getting bored or whatever, you can get out of it without all the lawyers and all that stuff.’

Brinkley added that ‘honorable men are becoming a rarity’ amid a social landscape choc with ‘so much temptation.’
Brinkley’s unconventional take comes after four marriages that ended in divorce.
She was wed to Jean-François Allaux, an artist from France between 1975 and 1981.
From 1985 to 1994, she was wed to famed musician Billy Joel, in a union that produced daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 39.
Joel had been seeing Australia-born supermodel Elle Macpherson prior to his high-profile romance with Brinkley.
Brinkley from 1994 to 1995 was wed to real estate businessman Richard Taubman, and they welcomed son Jack Brinkley-Cook, 30.
From 1996 to 2006, she was wed to architect Peter Cook in a union that produced Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 27, while Peter also adopted Jack.
On the podcast, Brinkley told the Sex and the City actress that she and her daughter Sailor – who are separated by more than four decades in age – had matched with the same males on dating apps.

Brinkley said she has stayed off dating apps, but her daughter Sailor conducted an experiment and made a profile for her.
‘She wanted to see what kind of guys’ would be interested, Brinkley told Davis. ‘She put me up there.’
Brinkley continued, Sailor ‘said, “Mom, you’re right not to go on it, because the same guys that said yes to me, are saying yes to you.”‘
Brinkley in July told The New York Times that she’s ‘too trusting’ in her relationships, and often makes decisions based on emotion.
‘I’m a fool for love,’ Brinkley said. ‘That love takes work. Sometimes you need to rely on experts.
‘I wish I could have found ways to save some; I wish I hadn’t married others.’
Brinkley, who is single at this time, added that some of the ‘relationships [she] was in made [her] feel unloved,’ but can feel ‘loveable’ when nestled ‘in the right arms.’
