Elizabeth Ann Weber

Billy Joel's First Wife - Elizabeth Weber Small Wiki (Bio, Age, Kids, Family, Net Worth)

Billy Joel is a big name in the music industry. The 6-time Grammy award winner has several songs that are timeless classics. Even though he built a successful name for himself over the years, he hasn't been lucky in the area of relationship. He has continued to search for true love. All he wants is not someone who loves him for what he has or what they can get from him but for who he is. Unfortunately, true love is not very easy to come by and Billy has experienced the worst in this regard.

One of the women who succeeded in carving a deep scar on his heart was Elizabeth Weber, his first wife. He thought she would be his salvation when he married her during his 20s. However, things turned out to be the opposite.

Although, their relationship started scandalously as Elizabeth was already a wife and had a son for Jon Small, the drummer of "The Hassles," a rock group which Billy was a part of. Jon and Billy were very close and even started their band, which they called "Attila." From the first time Billy set his eyes on Jon's wife, he got infatuated with her and did all that was in his power to get her to himself.

In an interview with Fred Schruers, Billy noted that when he first met Elizabeth, she wasn't like a typical American girl that he knew. She couldn't cook or take care of a home, but she was very seductive. Perhaps that was what fascinated him about her.

When Elizabeth's husband, Jon, found out about her affair with Billy, it brought their musical partnership to an abrupt end. As a result of what had happened, Elizabeth ran away from the both of them and couldn't be found anywhere for many weeks. This also led to the failure of Billy's musical career and led to him being suicidal. Elizabeth later came back to him, and they got married in 1973.
