According to E! Online, singer Billy Joel has confirmed that he is splitting from his third wife, Katie Lee.

The 60-year-old musician and the 27-year-old former “Top Chef” host were married in 2004 after one year of dating.

“After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate,” their publicists said in a joint statement. “This decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each other.”

For the most part, Twitterers weren’t shocked by the news:
