Christie Brinkley 's ex husband Peter Cook, 60, is engaged to his 21-year-old student girlfriend and is set to marry her.

Hamptons-based architect Peter announced his engagement to college student Alba Jancou on Tuesday.

The pair have been dating for a year, and he split with Christie, 65, in 2006 when he was caught having an affair with his 18-year-old office clerk Diana Bianchi.

Cook shares daughter Sailor, 21, with his ex wife, and also adopted her son Jack, 24.

He popped the question to his girlfriend - who is the same age as his daughter - last month on the Greek island of Santorini, reported by Page Six .

Peter called the 21-year-old his "soulmate" despite the 40-year-age gap between them.

"We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found, in each other, our soulmate," he told the publication.

He added: "We are looking forward to many years of wedded bliss!"

A source said: "They originally met two years ago at Le Bilboquet, but didn't start dating until a year ago. They are planning a destination wedding in Europe."

The bride-to-be is a psychology student in New York and Page Six were told she is Swiss, French and English.

His second ex, Suzanne Shaw, who is in her 40s, accused him of having a "secret pathological predilection" for young women.

The pair divorced in 2014 after two years of marriage.
