In the past, Billy Joel’s young daughters caught people’s attention with their makeup and fun musical moments. However, most often, they stand out because they look so much like their famous dad.
On October 21, 2024, Billy Joel thrilled his fans by posting photos of his youngest daughters on Instagram. The family attended Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert, and fans quickly rushed to the comments to share their thoughts. Many were amazed by how much the girls resembled their father.
The singer and his family posed for pictures at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. The first photo showed Billy Joel with his wife, Alexis Roderick Joel, and their daughters, Della Rose, eight, and Remy Anne, six.
In another picture, Billy and his family posed with Taylor Swift. Fans noticed how much his daughters looked like him, with one commenting, “Girls look just like daddy ❤️,” while another added, “Oh my gosh they look so much like you wow.”
Another fan said, “Those Joel genes are strong [sic]. Beautiful family.” One more person praised Billy, writing, “Such a great Daddy to his sweet baby girls❤️❤️❤️.” Another Instagram user remarked, “How cool is that? You’ve got very strong genes, Piano Man. 😍”
In another post featuring Billy’s daughters, a Facebook user said, “Those girls look just like him.” Comparing him to another celebrity, someone stated, “Like Bruce Willis, Billy Joel has some mega-strong genes [sic].”
An X user commented, “The picture of Billy Joel standing next to Taylor as if he’s just a fan with his daughters—I’m crying; they’re the sweetest [sic].” Another person agreed, saying, “DNA did not miss.”
Many fans shared similar thoughts, with one writing, “He has strong genes. Most of his kids look just like him.” A fan found it amusing, saying, “Every one of his kids always gets his face LOL😂 [sic].”
Billy captioned his post, noting that Taylor’s concert was at the same venue where he and Elton John’s “Face to Face” concert set a seating record. He shared that Taylor broke that record during her second concert, and he and his family were happy to be part of history. They even celebrated with Taylor’s mother.
Billy expressed support for Taylor, writing, “She is showing our girls all that is possible. Onward and upward #swifties.” Billy and his family also attended one of Taylor’s shows in Tampa, Florida, in 2023.
This wasn’t the first time his daughters caught fans’ attention. In February 2024, Billy attended the Grammy Awards with Alexis and their daughters. The girls, wearing red lipstick, looked so much like their father that fans couldn’t help but notice.
A fan commented that Billy’s daughters “have Joel’s eyes” and that “his genes are super strong.” Some fans had mixed reactions to the girls’ makeup, with one saying, “That lipstick on the daughters was too much.”
In July, Billy’s daughters stole the show during his final concert of a record-breaking residency at Madison Square Garden. Billy dedicated his 1986 song, “This Is the Time,” to his wife, and photos of their family played on the screen during his performance.
Dressed in matching outfits, his daughters joined him on stage, hugging him as he received a banner before performing his 1978 hit “My Life.” Della Rose even took the microphone, thanking the audience and dancing with her father.
In October 2023, the two girls had another chance to perform with Billy, singing “Don’t Ask Me Why.”
Billy welcomed his two youngest daughters later in life and aims to spend as much time as possible with them. Della Rose was born in August 2015, and Remy Anne followed in October 2017.
Billy also shares a daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, with his ex-wife, Christie Brinkley.
