First Picture Together As Family, After Phil Collins Ex Wife Orianne Cevey Said She Want To Re-marry Him

He's rekindled his romance with his ex-wife and is relishing being a doting dad to their two sons.
And Phil Collins, 65, was pictured with his family for the first time since sensationally reuniting with third wife Orianne Cevey, 43, eight years after they underwent a £25 million divorce.
The pop star cut a dapper figure at The Little Dreams Foundation Benefit Gala at The Fillmore, Miami Beach, on Friday.



The musician relied on a cane to support him as he walked the red carpet. Collins is still recovering from back surgery he had to fuse two discs together late last year.
He placed an affectionate hand on Matthew's shoulder, while Nicholas wrapped his arms loving around his parents.

Meanwhile, glamorous Orianne flashed a bright pearly smile as she posed in a classy black gown and shimmering silver heels.
Speaking to Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick, she explained: 'Our separation was the wrong decision.

'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 one day.'

Genesis star Phil, 65, and Orianne reconciled in 2015 while he was supporting his ex-wife after she was left partially paralysed due to complications following surgery on a slipped disc.

Orianne continued: 'We were always very close, because of the children... just last year, I realised that he is indeed the man of my life.'

During their marriage, the couple lived in Switzerland, with Collins continuing to reside in the country following the breakdown of his third marriage.
Speaking in New York last month, Phil said: 'We went back because we realised we had made a mistake. A lot of people don't have that chance, or don't give themselves that chance.

'Our young sons Matthew and Nicholas are like a dog with two tails. I mean, they're just so happy. They've got their mum and dad back together, so it's a good place to be at the moment.

Orianne was just 21 when she met Collins in 1994 during his tour of Switzerland.
He was in the midst of a bitter split from his second wife Jill – mother of actress Lily Collins – and fell head over heels in love with Orianne, who had been hired as his translator.

The musician divorced Jill in 1996 and married Orianne in 1999. Sir Elton John and Eric Clapton were guests, and the newlyweds set up home in a property overlooking Lake Geneva that once belonged to Grand Prix legend Sir Jackie Stewart.

And she told the Mail on Sunday: ‘I don’t think I ever stopped loving Phil but it took me a while to realise that he is the love of my life. Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes you don’t realise you’ve made a mistake until it’s too late. If you have a chance to go back and correct a mistake, as we have been lucky enough to do, that’s a wonderful gift.’
