NEW YORK, July 11 (UPI) -- U.S. supermodel Christie Brinkley, who reached a divorce settlement with her fourth husband Peter Cook this week, insists she will never remarry.

Under the agreement reached Thursday morning, Cook, an architect, will walk away with $2.1 million, while Brinkley gets custody of their two children and keeps all the real estate they shared during their 12-year marriage.

"I'm free!" Brinkley told the New York Post in an exclusive interview. "I'm not going to marry again. I know too much about the marriage laws and divorce laws. Getting married again would not be a very intelligent thing to do. ... I was fighting for my family. I think when you're fighting for your family's well-being, almost anything you have to go through is worth it."

Brinkley was also previously married to artist Jean-Francois Allaux, rock 'n' roll singer Billy Joel and developer Richard Taubman.
