“I haven’t really talked about it. We’ve been together for a while,” Collins tells Billboard
When Phil Collins split from his third wife Orianne in 2008, their divorce settlement – a reported $46.68 million – was the biggest celeb payout in British legal history.
Now they’re back together.
“I haven’t really talked about it,” Collins told Billboard when asked about the divorce and his struggle with alcoholism that followed (he’s been sober for three years now). “We’ve been together for a while, and nobody’s noticed.” Six months ago, Collins bought a house in Miami where the pair, who have two sons together, are currently residing.
Collins, 64, also revealed that back surgery, nerve damage and multiple foot fractures have left him feeling like he’s walking “on sticks,” but despite his health issues his kids are hoping to see him perform again.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever be fit enough to play the drums again on tour,” said Collins. “My left arm has changed – it’s a neural thing. The back surgery I had was great – I mean, how good can surgery be? But it was problem-free. But then when I was recovering on crutches, I fell and fractured my foot. When I recovered from foot surgery, I fell again and fractured another part of the same foot. My right foot now is completely numb.
