Back together, against all odds

PHIL Collins, 65, is to re-marry his third wife, Orianne Cevey.

The musician confirmed last month that he has reconciled with the 43-year-old jewellery designer, whom he famously paid £25 million to six years ago in a record-breaking divorce battle, and the couple are “determined” to tie the knot again.

Orianne, who has sons Nicholas, 14, and Matthew, 11 with Phil, said: “I now call Phil ‘my husband’ again. We are so close that it does not actually make a difference if we are married or not, but we are determined to get married for a second time. We were always very close, because of the children, and just last year I realised he is indeed the man of my life.”

Phil and Orianne married in Switzerland in 1999, but split in 2006 and divorced two years later.
