Katie Lee Biegel faced cheating allegations in her marriage with Billy Joel. According to the New York Post, while Joel was on tour in 2008, Biegel was caught getting cozy with another man. Photos captured Biegel dancing with Yigal Azrouel, an Israeli fashion designer, while out in Miami. A source at the Miami event told the outlet, “He [Azrouel] introduced her to people as his girlfriend. They were touching and kissing. People were looking because they were dancing erotically.” This wasn’t the only time the two reportedly spent time together. Fox News claims that Biegel and Azrouel had several outings. On the outside, it looked like she was cheating on the “Piano Man” singer, but that might not have been the case.
Despite the cheating rumors, Fred Schruers, who wrote the book “Billy Joel: The Definitive Biography,” claims Biegel denied there was ever any affair between her and Azrouel. She even understood the gravity the photos of the two dancing in Miami would have in the media. She had reportedly admitted, “Those photos look bad.”
Even though Biegel reportedly denied the affair, the couple’s marriage crumbled just a year after the infamous photos of her and Azrouel hit the internet. With all the affair rumors, you would think Joel was the one who was eager to call it quits, but it turns out he was the one willing to deal with any hurdle that came the couple’s way.
