I havenât kept up with Nina Agdalâs love life since the Adam Levine/Leonardo DiCaprio years. Obviously, this young woman has a terrible picker – the thing with Adam Levine ended when he went away for a week and eloped with Behati Prinsloo, basically. The thing with Leo ended when she aged out of the Leonardo Girlfriend Experience in her mid-20s. Nina is 26 years old now, and sheâs been dating Christie Brinkleyâs son, Jack Brinkley-Cook, for a little while? I have no idea how long theyâve been dating, but theyâre somewhat established as a couple and people know about them (even if it came as news to me). Well, funny story: Nina just said the quiet part out loud:
Nina Agdal has a confession to make about her boyfriend Jack Brinkley-Cook. Over the weekend, Agdal, 26, shared a selfie from a romantic outing with Brinkley-Cook, 23, and raved over their âcomfortable relationship.â
âWent on a date with Jack last night and actually tried to be hot. Woke up this morning like myself again, hungover with a mask on. Feels good to be in a comfortable relationship,â Agdal wrote.
While many fans praised the couple for being relationship goals, one follower, in particular, wasnât buying it.
âB honest. If he was broke. U wouldnât b with him,â the fan wrote in the comment section. Agdal jokingly responded with, âprobably not.â
I havenât heard anything about Jack Brinkley-Cook, so I have no idea if heâs actually making his own money or if the whole âhe is richâ thing is because his parents have money. Peter Cook is quite successful, isnât he? And Christie and Peter seem like the kind of parents who would give their kids trust funds. Oh, lord, I just looked at Jack’s Instagram. What fresh hell is this? Heâs totally giving off ârich bro who lives on daddyâs moneyâ vibes. If Being Roofied In Aspen had an Instagram, it would be this. Anyway, even if Nina was joking – lol, she wasnât – it still brings up an important point: none of these people would date someone poor.

WHAT? She’s only 26. I saw this photo reposted on an instagram I follow, and I assumed she was like… real housewives age.
Also I LOATHE those hats. I loathe them so much. I have no encountered a woman who wore those hats that I’ve liked. The ones I’ve met have all been incredibly high maintenance/mean girly but trying to look ‘cool’ and ‘edgy’. Hopefully there are some lovely hat wearers out there, but MY personal experiences have not been good.
I love those hats! I tried to buy one but I just look like I’m trying out for one of the Village People, but not nearly as cool. I look bad in all hats though, my head is too big.
SAME. And I love hats. But huge freakin’ head. It’s so sad.
I LOVE those hats too , ever since I saw JLO wearing one. I have tried several on when I see them in boutiques, might buy one.
Remember Christie Brinkley dumped her one of her husband’s after a brief marriage when she found out he was broke. I think they got married on a ski slope? …Practically by the time the ski trip ended, she had dumped him, quite publicly because he supposedly mislead her about having money, being a multimillionaire when he wasn’t. Anyone remember the husband? They didn’t have children together.
Haha I was just thinking how much I dislike this faux-biker look. Those hats say hooker/maybe exotic dancer? Nothing wrong with either but… not what I’m going for on the daily.
Her third marriage, after Joel, was to a real estate developer in Dec of 1994 and they ended months later in 1995 but they had one son together. She married him in Colorado near where they had survived a helicopter crash. (read below that this guy is the bio father of her 2nd husband & adopted by Peter?)
Remember how her 4th husband “aggressively pursued” & had an “affair” with a teenager that I think worked for him (this guy’s dad)? The he dragged Christie through the mud in their divorce & played the the victim? Joel did not show her much respect either. Her picker is not good.
The fourth husband is Peter Cook the adopted father of Jack, and yes he all of the above, plus he claimed to be addicted to internet porn. He’s a winner, so it doesn’t surprise me Jack’s kind of a roofied Aspen crazy-(best description ever.) His father’s a great example.
Christie was married to some French guy first, think he was a photographer, then Billy Joel, then the developer guy who was in the helicopter crash- didn’t know he was poor but wouldn’t surprise me, and the bio dad of Jack, and then Peter Cook who was all of the issues above. Too bad Christie and Billy didn’t make it work seems like that might have been the best match, but she’s picked some doozies since.
I believe husband 3, Jack’s bio daddy, presented as a rich real estate developer, they were in a helicopter crash (bonding near death experience) and got married really fast. She then learned more about him, that he wasn’t as rich as he’d said and wasn’t on the up and up, and she paid a large sum to him to go away and not be a dad to jack.
With husband 3’s genes and husband 4’s behavior- the kid was probably bound to be a douche-bro.
LOL. My stylish grandma has a lot of those hats in her closet and she loves to wear them! hahahaha. She’s none of that stuff, but she is sassy as the day is long.
Agree, she does not look 26 at all.
I’m here for sassy grandmothers hahaha.
The only time I saw that exact hat was on a dude and about 8 years ago.
Is she really late with this fashion choice or are these hats coming back?
He should wear that hat to cover his greasy, wet, limp, low water pressure shower, gross, flat hair.
Lol. His hair is so bad. It reminds me of Weird Al’s.
@famika – that husband was Jackâs father. I remember reading that he was abusive to her and thatâs why they broke up. They got married after both survived a helicopter crash. I think I remember reading the shared trauma made them move faster. Jack was adopted by her next husband Peter cook.
I remember that. IIRC that helicopter crash outed their affair because she was actually still married to Billie Joel at the time. Her love life has always been super messy.
My great aunt Evelyn wore one of those her whole life, until she died at 97- my grandma (who was her sister) DESPISED that hat! She ripped on it constantly, and said “Eve looks like Hitler’s right hand man in that hat!”. That was a raging burn coming from my grandma, since she was in the WAC in WWII and served overseas against Hitler. So now I kind of love those hats, but would never be caught dead in one- my grandma would come to haunt me and it would be TERRIFYING.
I live in an area with a lot of aging hippies, I see a lot of elderly women wearing that same kind of hat over their long gray braid, so when I see a young woman wearing one I assume theyâre trying to do grandma chic.
Manda is right, itâs a classic Greek fisherman cap. I donât understand the comments in the thread about this hat: exotic dancer/hooker hat, grandma chic hat, Hitler hat? Iâm a thirty something female and have worn this style of hat for many years, itâs classic like a beret. But Iâm a hat person and have something on my head most of the time.
it’s a greek fisherman hat. my dad used to wear one
Well, real poverty is no joke. I wouldn’t date someone poor either. But I suspect that for them poor = not trust fund rich, in which case… good for us non rich people, we’re spared the hassle of dealing with golddiggers.
Where does Jack get his money? They’re not that rich.
His father is wealthy – apparently the architect of choice in the Hamptons, but his mother is Christie Brinkley and she’s got serious bucks. His biological father is also pretty rich, though I’m not sure how involved he has been in his life.
AFAIK his biological father hasnât been involved in his upbringing. I seem to remember rumors that Christie made Richard Taubman relinquish his parental rights, for some reason.
Christie’s family also was rich. Her father was a writer, producer, director for decades and a bunch of well known shows from the Virginian to Trapper John MD. Long career, I think he is in the broadcasting hall of fame. Yes there is a long money line here.
@minx, she didn’t make him relinquish his parental rights. I don’t know the story there, but if he did so, he did it of his own free will.
(I said, I don’t know the story, but I am assuming that no gun was held to the man’s head, short of that, it’s his decision, even if he is swayed by financial offers).
Lol he has the stereotypical rich douche look.
I dont think there is anything wrong with what Nina said. Women should not date broke men.
Should men date broke women?
Women should date whomever they want.
He looks a bit like Vito Schnabel, but a younger rhinoplastied version
His nose says he shares a plastic surgeon with his older sister.
I don’t agree with that. Money does not fix everything. Many guys with money are alpha assholes who have no time for you because they are busy making money. And you have to coddle em and do what they want to get access to their money. I’d rather make my own money, not have to depend on someone else for financial security and be with someone for love. If you wouldn’t be with them if they were broke, you shouldn’t be with them. That’s my view on it. You do you
Have a girlfriend who for years would only date rich, older guys (mid 40’s to her mid to late 20’s). The main two were real alpha assholes just as you say. I hated both of them and it listening to her cataloguing their treatment of her…..god it was difficult. And they use their money to wield power over the woman in their life and it is truly horrible. Both were very abusive, not physically but of the humiliation type. Very mentally abusive.
I would never date for money anyway but after seeing what she endured just to feel financially secure, I for f**king sure never would!
In fairness would he look twice at her if she looked like a hobbit?
None of these people date “poor” (anything less than a trust fund) or “ugly” (anything less than a Victoria Secret catalogue)
Yup. If I weren’t poor, I wouldn’t date poor, either. LOL
You made me spit out my coffee!! Funny but so true.
I have never and will never fault any woman for only dating men with money.
I wouldn’t fault any woman for that – but having seen first hand how *some* rich men systematically strip away the self esteem and self worth of the woman they are with, verbally and emotionally abuse said partner, and use their wealth to wield complete power over their partner and those around them – I certainly cannot support any women for only dating men with money, in fact I would warn them of the possible consequences!!!
Yeah and he wouldn’t date her if she wasn’t a model. Good for her for not acting like not dating outside your economic bracket is abnormal.
If we’re all honest we’d all prefer a financially secure partner given the choice.
But he’s not rich.đ¤¨
One parent is – his mother.
Jack’s got siblings and external family members, Christie looks out for.
Not saying Jack is on the poverty line, but he’s not a trustfund baby with a long line of dough coming in at a steady pace forever. Especially as he doesn’t seem to have a job really.đ
Unless supermodels marry wealth (long money – a la Stephanie Seymour), the money depletes fast.
Um, a quick google search of Christie Brinkley shows her net worth at 250million. So, I think she can keep him out of the poor house… for now.
You realise those ‘celeb net worths’ numbers on google are not at all credible right?
Theyâre not super accurate, no. But your implication that the only way a model can be rich is to have a rich husband is offensive and ridiculous. Why does it always have to be daddy thatâs rich?
That was not my implication.
I was stating the fact that in this case it is ONE parent the mother whose rich.
That is a fact.
Models are never as rich as made out to be – no matter what ‘google net’ claims.
(Kate Moss and Gisele, the most successful supers of the last decade will attest to this)
Two sources of vast income – as is the case with Stephanie Seymour and Gisele – is more advantageous than just the one.
Especially in a profession as fleeting & sporadic earning as modelling is.
My points are ‘offensive and ridiculous’ because they disagree with you and I feel likewise about yours. We disagree, simple as.
I need to work “fresh hell” into my vocabulary. His instagram!
+1000 what fresh hell indeed!! Lol!
His facial expression is “fresh hell”, as well. So smug, it makes me want to scream internally.
I wish I hadnât clicked on his Instagram account. Roofied is right, the pictures look like stills from Law and Order SVU
Lol- stills from SVU . Reminds me of Andrew Luster…. Yikes.
@skyblue and MC2 – I’m confused by your comments. I looked at his IG, and it’s all just a bunch of pretty vacation pics. Are we looking at the same accounts? đ¤
I mean… at least she’s honest? People tend to date within their socio-economic bracket, don’t they – she was never going to start going out with a guy who earns minimum wage.
Also , “If Being Roofied In Aspen had an Instagram, it would be this” is one of the funniest things I’ve read this week.
OMG, his IG. What a douchenozzel.
He has dead eyes!!
Agreed. He looks like someone I would not want my daughter (if I had one) to be alone with.
I trying to determine
which is funnier, Blue Steel Rejects IG page or y’alls comments about his IG page.
So far it’s running neck and neck. I think we can be best on here.
I call bull shit I donât believe Pater Cook is Jacks Dad, heâs the father of Sailor Cook, Christie was in a helicopter accident with Jacks dad and he didnât want the child ( as I remember) Peter May of adopted him thou he was a small baby when Christie got with Peter. ( I think she has had terrible taste in men)
This isn’t news. He did adopt Jack after they married.
So Jack is Peter’s son.
Jack’s bio father is Christie’s ex husband Ricky Taubman, the one she was in a helicopter crash in CO with in the 1990s.
I like Nina. She should stop dating jerks, though. I’m sure, being Danish, she received a very good education. She should really re-invent herself and do something that she is passionate about. Dating moneyed jerks must be getting old to her.
Educated does not = intelligent.
Just sayin he wouldn’t date her either if she wasn’t somebody known
They wouldnât have met if he was poor, so sheâs right. Itâs not like celebs pop down to the neighborhood bar for a beer and to watch the game or play trivia. They live in their insulated moneyed bubble.
I personally have no problem with people not wanting to date someone outside of their tax bracket, gross as I feel admitting that. Either you have to pay for them (or vice versa, both of which make me feel deeply uncomfortable) or you have to constantly compromise on the kinds of activities you do. It is why people hate on people like KM or MM so much: They were willing to say goodbye to those who were not able to participate in the lives they wanted to live. Is it gross to base it on money? Maybe. But I don’t think it’s any grosser than not wanting to be friends with an ultra-conservative who wants to spend time going to church, rather than get dressed up and go to a Pride parade, you know? It isn’t, “Oh, he’s poor, pass,” it’s “Damn, I’m in love, but I don’t have an additional $200 to get him a ticket – again.” It’s a tough reality.
I didnât know how messy CB love life has been.
Of course this guy comes from money, look at the $$ CB has…everyone the guy ever meets most likely has $$. He,himself, also most likely lives very well off CB money. Sheâs not going to let one of her kids live more lavishly vs. siblings.
I bet this guy couldnât spell cat, if you gave him the C and the A. A dude who simply coasts thru life being the son of CB.
I want to give him a shampoo 3 or 4x, what is going on with his hair?
Btw, I wish Sailor Cook, the daughter, would stop being pushed as a next generation model…most of the celeb offspring âmodelingâ are because of nepotismâs not talent.
Uh, I’ve spent enough years of my life supporting slacker boyfriends to know that I wouldn’t date a guy who is broke either! Good for her for not having to learn that lesson the hard way. Wish I had been as smart.
So much Botox and she s in her mid-20s only … not a good sign
