The go-go dancer who won his heart
LADY GREEN & KIDS
Along with his mother, the other woman who has been an influence in Green’s life is wife Tina.
By the time the pair met in the mid-80s, Tina Palos – as she was then – was about to divorce from husband Robert, who was 14 years older than her. They had two children, Stasha and Brett.
She and Robert ran a clothing business in South Africa but, the book claims Tina was a “party girl”, the first female DJ in Johannesburg and “a go-go dancer who performed with the Beach Boys”.
A business associate of Green’s, George Maude, says in it: “Tina was a bit like Philip – what she wanted, she tried very hard to get. She wanted Philip and she tried every which way to get him.”
Five years later they married in 1990, apparently when Tina became pregnant with daughter Chloe. They went on to have a son, Brandon.
Tina, like Green’s late mother Alma, is also known for her strong
personality. She now controls the family holding company, Taveta Investments, and has been a staunch defender of her husband over the years.
Fashion designer Chloe, who had son Jayden last month with “Hot Felon” Jeremy Meeks, is close to her dad and urged him not to buy M&S.
