The singer shared a picture from his daughter's birthday celebration at the beach. In his post, he also recalled Della's younger days when she would run around the house. "Happy 10th birthday Della Ross," Joel wrote in his caption. "We are so proud of your sweet nature, empathy for others and endless love."

"You see everything through caring eyes. We could not ask for anything more. We all love you beyond measure. How did we get to 10 years already? It seems like just yesterday you were running around the house looking for 'Piano Man'".

Joel shares daughter Alexa Ray, 39, with ex-wife Christie Brinkley, and is dad to daughters Della and Remy with his wife Alexis, whom he married in 2015.

Billy Joel on fatherhood

Joel earlier said that he always knew fatherhood would be one of the most important chapters in his life. "I love all of my girls. And poetic justice, I had all girls, of course, but I'm really enjoying this a lot," he said. "It's something I was looking forward to all my life, and here I am," reported People.

Joel shared that all three of his girls are musically inclined; Alexa has performed with Joel numerous times. Della and Remy joined Joel on stage during the final show of his Madison Square Garden residency in July 2024.

"Poor things, they inherited the curse [of music]," Joel said. "Sometimes it's a blessing [being musically inclined]. Sometimes it can be a burden. I inherited it from my parents. My father was very musical, so was my mom. There's a responsibility to it too."

"It means a lot to me, and I think that's maybe part of the father thing," said Joel, adding, "I didn't have a dad, so it was very important for me to be a dad," reported People.
