She said: "Showbiz is all about getting a break, and Sailor and I both got one on 'Dancing with the Stars' this season." The star added: "Sailor joined the cast when I got mine … ouch somebody stop me, it hurts to laugh!"

Speaking to “Good Morning America,” Brinkley-Cook said: "I'm doing this mostly for my mom! I just want to make her happy and make her proud." According to her mother, the blue bejeweled costume fit her daughter perfectly.

Brinkley-Cook has followed in her mother’s footsteps by modeling for “Sports Illustrated’s” swimsuit editions in 2017 and 2018. Brinkley shares her daughter and son Jack Brinkley-Cook with ex-husband Peter Cook and is also a mother to Alexa Ray Joel, whom she shares with ex Billy Joel.
