Watch: How Sailor Brinkley Cook Helps Mom Christie Brinkley Navigate Social Media
Sailor Brinkley Cook is modeling social media behavior for her mom.
While Christie Brinkley has offered modeling advice to her 27-year-old daughter—whom she shares with ex-husband PeterCook—she’s also gotten plenty of tips in return on how to navigate her social accounts.
“I’m teaching her TikTok basically,” Sailor exclusively shared with E! News at the New York Gala screening of Brunello: The Gracious Visionary April 14. “Social media, TikTok, posting, being more on Instagram.”
The influencer shared that she helps her mom “make most of her videos” and “help her with a lot of her socials,” but she doesn’t try to get too involved.
“I like to leave her be because I think there’s something so beautiful about the way that she interacts with social media,” Sailor explained in their joint interview. “It’s so cute and innocent, so I try not to intervene too much.”
And while Christie—also mom to Alexa Ray, 40, with ex Billy Joel, and Jack, 30, with ex Richard Taubman—certainly has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to helping Sailor find her way in the world of modeling, she is also careful about being too overbearing.
“She’s out there and she’s doing things—all the cool things,” Christie told E!. “And she knows what’s happening right now.”
And though she’s happy to give her youngest guidance about her career, she does draw the line with Sailor poking into her closet. But that hasn’t stopped her daughter.
“She doesn’t let me take anything,” Sailor confessed. “I take things no matter what.”

Christie added with a laugh, “I’m always looking on her Instagram and going, ‘That’s where those pants went. Oh, that’s where that jacket is.’”
But Sailor was undeterred, joking, “Girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do.”
Social media isn’t the only place Sailor has stepped in to help her mom: Sheeven set up a dating profile for Christie, which led to some shocking results.
“She put—for like an hour or something—she put me up there,” Christie shared on the Are You A Charlotte? podcast in August. “And she said, ‘Mom, you’re right not to go on it, because the same guys that said yes to me are saying yes to you.’”
