Phil Collins is the father of five children, including ‘Emily in Paris’ star Lily Collins
Drumroll, please … introducing Phil Collins‘ very talented family.
Collins is the father of five children, including three sons and two daughters. He welcomed them with women from three different marriages between 1975 and 2005.
The legendary drummer shares children Joely and Simon Collins with his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli, whom he was married to from 1975 to 1979. Phil wrote “In the Air Tonight” after failing to win her back post-divorce.
Phil shares actress Lily Collins with his second wife, actress Jill Tavelman, to whom he was married until 1994. The Emily in Paris star, who was five years old at the time of her parents’ tumultuous divorce, has since been vocal about the impact it had on her life.
The former Genesis member welcomed sons Nicholas and Matthew with his third wife, Orianne Cevey, to whom he was initially married from 2000 to 2006. Ten years after their split, the two reconciled, entering a relationship again after she divorced investment banker Charles Mejjati; they called it quits once more in 2020.
Phil is supportive of all his kids, and they are also vocal in their fondness for their dad. “Thank you for inspiring me and supporting the woman I am today. I love you to the moon and back again…” Lily wrote in an Instagram tribute to her dad.
