Christie Brinkley, 72, Twins With 28-Year-Old Daughter at John Mayer Show

Q: How did a dating app accidentally expose a shocking truth about the men pursuing both a 72-year-old supermodel and her daughter?

It exposed that some of the exact same men were trying to match with both Christie Brinkley and her daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, despite their 44-year age gap. Brinkley said on Kristin Davis’ podcast that Sailor signed her up for a dating app. Brinkley’s profile was reportedly live only briefly, but Sailor noticed that men who had already shown interest in her were also swiping yes on her mother. Sailor told Brinkley, in effect, that the same guys pursuing a 28-year-old were also pursuing a 72-year-old. For Brinkley, the incident was less about flattery than about what it revealed. She said it reinforced her belief that some men on dating apps are not looking for a meaningful connection so much as attention, admiration, or validation. In her telling, the overlap suggested that at least some of these men were casting an extremely wide net rather than pursuing someone with genuine compatibility in mind. The episode also fits with the public reaction to Brinkley and Sailor’s appearance together: many people comment on how much they resemble each other, sometimes mistaking one for the other in photos. But Brinkley’s takeaway from the dating app story was sharper: it revealed how indiscriminate some online dating behavior can be, even when the two women are from different generations.

Christie Brinkley, 72, and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 28, drew twin comparisons at John Mayer’s SiriusXM performance in New York on Aug. 26 after arriving in coordinated denim-heavy looks.
Hello! Magazine’s Instagram video showed the pair smiling for cameras and waving to fans, prompting comments marveling that Brinkley looked “more like 22” than 72.
The resemblance has become a recurring theme: fans recently said they mistook Brinkley for her daughter on an Instagram post promoting her new zero-sugar prosecco line.
That mother-daughter overlap has surfaced before—Brinkley said last year on Kristin Davis’ podcast that she and Sailor were matching with some of the same men on dating apps despite a 44-year age gap.
