A second woman has come forward to claim she had an affair with Peter Cook when she was 19, but before his marriage to Christie Brinkley.

Samantha Cole, a 29-year-old singer, told the New York Post in Wednesday's editions that Cook, now 47, proposed marriage to her in a last-ditch bid to win her back after she broke up with him in 1996. She refused, Cole said, and Cook became engaged to the supermodel a month later.

Earlier this week, 19-year-old Diana Bianchi, a former employee of Cook's, alleged the architect hired her and seduced her with lavish gifts, then attempted to woo her back with repeated notes and phone calls after she broke off the affair.

"I laugh at this, because our story is exactly the same," Cole was quoted as saying.

Brinkley, 52, announced last week that she and Cook, her fourth husband, had separated. The couple, who were married in 1996, have an 8-year-old daughter.

Cole said she was shocked to hear that Cook had allegedly cheated on Brinkley. "I never thought he would do something like that, being married, with his family so important to him."

A message left for Cook at his office wasn't immediately returned Wednesday.

When she learned that Cook and Brinkley were engaged, "I was pretty upset about it, pretty angry," Cole told the Post. "I was the last person he was with before Christie."
