EXCLUSIVE: Phil Collins Adorably Gushes About Rekindled Relationship With Ex-Wife Orianne Cevey
For years, Phil Collins has been known not only for his iconic music career but also for his complex personal life. Now, in a surprising and heartwarming turn, the legendary musician is opening up about rekindling his relationship with ex-wife Orianne Cevey, and he couldn’t be more candid about the joy it has brought him.
In an exclusive conversation, Collins described the renewed connection with Orianne as “a blessing I never expected at this stage of my life.” The pair, who originally married in 1999 before divorcing in 2008, share two sons together. Despite years apart and personal challenges, they have found their way back to each other in a way Collins describes as both “healing and inspiring.”
A Journey Through Time
Their story has been anything but conventional. After their separation, both pursued different paths—Collins focusing on his health and music while Cevey explored new personal ventures. Yet, as Collins explained, the bond they shared never fully disappeared. “There’s always been this invisible thread,” he said. “Even when we were apart, I felt we were still tied together through our children, our history, and our deep understanding of each other.”
This sense of connection became stronger in recent years as the two began spending more time together, not only as co-parents but also as companions. Collins admitted that what started as friendly support gradually blossomed into something more. “It felt natural,” he shared. “Like rediscovering an old song that still makes your heart sing.”
Building Trust Again
Rekindling a relationship after such a long and complicated history isn’t without its difficulties. Collins acknowledged that rebuilding trust and communication took effort. “We had to relearn how to listen to each other, how to laugh again without carrying the baggage of the past,” he said. Orianne, in her own words, emphasized that forgiveness and patience were key. “Life is too short to hold onto bitterness,” she explained. “We chose to focus on the love that still existed rather than the mistakes behind us.”
Family First
Perhaps the most significant factor in their reconciliation has been their children. Both Collins and Cevey highlighted how important family was in bringing them closer again. “Seeing us together and happy has made a difference for the boys,” Collins said with a smile. “They sense the harmony, and it feels like home again.”
A New Chapter
Though cautious about making grand promises, Collins is clearly optimistic about this new chapter. He admitted that his renewed relationship has brought him a sense of peace he hasn’t felt in years. “I’m grateful for the music, the fans, and the career I’ve had,” he reflected, “but to end my days surrounded by love—that’s the greatest encore I could ask for.”
For fans who have followed Collins’s personal and professional highs and lows, this heartfelt revelation offers a glimpse of a man who, despite the trials of fame and life, still believes in second chances. And as Collins himself sweetly put it: “Sometimes love just needs a little time apart before it finds its way back home.”
