When meeting Cook (for the second time, since the first wasn\u2019t too memorable) in 1996, Brinkley didn\u2019t think he was her \u201ctype.\u201d However, she agreed to [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brinkley and podcast host <strong>Kristin Davis<\/strong>, who played Charlotte York-Goldenblatt on <i>Sex and the City <\/i>and its <i>And Just Like That <\/i>spinoff, further reflected on Thursday about how the art gallerist puts a lot of value into marriage. (Harry, with whom Charlotte shares two children, is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/pictures\/a-complete-guide-to-and-just-like-that-love-interests\/\">Charlotte\u2019s second husband<\/a>.

On an earlier episode of Davis\u2019 podcast this week, Brinkley revealed that she <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-moms\/news\/christie-brinkley-71-matched-with-same-men-as-daughter-sailor-27\/\">recently tried dating via an app<\/a> at her daughter Sailor\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019m not on any kind of dating app like that, but my daughter Sailor, she\u2019s so mischievous,\u201d Brinkley said on the Monday, August 4, podcast episode, noting the 27-year-old put her mom\u2019s profile on a dating app for \u201can hour or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brinkley added, \u201cShe said, \u2018Mom, you\u2019re right not to go on it because the same guys that said yes to me are saying yes to you.\u2019 I find that what men like to do is sort of find somebody that\u2019ll be impressed by every little thing that they do. Like, \u2018Oh, really? You\u2019re taking me to that restaurant?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to navigating the dating scene, Brinkley is also enjoying watching her now-adult children carve their own paths outside of finding a partner of their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI try not to be too judgmental and all of that because I think, at this point, they\u2019ve got pretty good heads on their shoulders and they know what to do,\u201d she <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-moms\/news\/christie-brinkley-tries-not-to-be-too-judgmental-of-her-3-kids\/\">exclusively told <i>Us Weekly <\/i><\/a>in November 2023. \u201cSometimes I\u2019m amazed that they really are watching and listening [to me].
