Hey there! So, here's the scoop: Christie Brinkley, the stunning 65-year-old supermodel, is dealing with a little setback. She hurt her wrist during rehearsals for Dancing With the Stars season 28, and now it looks like she's going to need surgery to get it back in shape. Let's dive into the details!
Christie recently opened up to People about her recovery journey. She said, "I'm actually going on Friday. I'm going to get PRP and some sort of manipulation to my shoulder, my wrist, and my thumb because it's still healing—but not fast enough." It sounds like she's taking this injury seriously and is determined to get back to her best self.
Christie's Journey to Recovery
Now, while surgery might sound daunting, Christie is no stranger to the healing process. She reassured her fans by saying, "When I was doing Chicago The Musical, I had to do a little PRP on my hip, and it worked wonders!" She's confident that this treatment will do the trick again. "It's really good stuff," she added with enthusiasm.

Passing the Torch to Sailor
When Christie broke her wrist on Dancing With the Stars, she didn't let it bring her down. Instead, she asked her 21-year-old daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, to step in and take her place in the competition. "It's been the most beautiful silver lining that I could've imagined," Christie told Closer Weekly. "Obviously, I was so crushed and disappointed not to be able to compete myself, but seeing Sailor shine was truly a gift."
Even though Sailor and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, didn't win the competition (they lost to Hannah Brown from The Bachelorette), Christie couldn't be prouder of her daughter for stepping up to the plate. "Dear Sailor and Val, thank you for your work that brought us beauty and joy!" she wrote on Instagram shortly after Sailor was eliminated in October. "You don't need to be on a TV show to keep smiling and dancing—and that's the ultimate prize!"
Sailor's Heartfelt Reflection
Sailor also took to Instagram to share her feelings about being eliminated from the show. "Last night was heartbreaking. I was so not ready for this experience to finish so soon, but wow am I grateful for every minute of it," she wrote. "All my life, I let my fears hold me back from anything I wasn't comfortable with. This experience made me feel unstoppable. Each day on this rollercoaster ride was a massive learning lesson, a journey in 24 hours."
