Alexa Ray Joel Is Dating Another Musician

Her last break-up may have led to a suicide attempt, but Alexa Ray Joel hasn't given up on love.

Bad break-ups are hard to get over, sometimes impossible-feeling, which is why we have to admire Alexa Ray Joel's spirit. After having a particularly heart-breaking year last year, in which she broke up with her long-term, bass-playing ex, Jimmy Riot, popped a lot of pills in a supposed suicide attempt, and made a visit to the hospital that was chronicled by every major newspaper, Alexa, 24, has reportedly moved on and has started dating again. Her new beau is 24-year-old guitarist Cass Dillon, who was hired to play guitar on the aspiring singer's new album, reports LimeLife.com.

"Heartbreak-Related Depression" does not currently exist as a clinically diagnosable form of depression. So what was Joel suffering from? Heartbreak, depression or a hybrid of the two?
