At 74 Years Old, Phil Collins Confesses She Was the Love of His Life!
In a rare and emotional interview in 2025, legendary singer and drummer Phil Collins, now 74 years old, made a heartfelt confession that has left fans touched around the world. After decades of silence about his most personal feelings, Collins finally revealed the woman who, despite all the ups and downs in his life, remained the true love of his heart.
Speaking openly from his lakeside home in Switzerland, Collins reflected on his rollercoaster life—filled with global success, chart-topping hits, and personal struggles. But when asked about love, there was no hesitation. “Yes,” he said, “I’ve had several relationships, but there’s only one woman I’ve ever truly called the love of my life—Orianne.”
Orianne Cevey, the Swiss jewelry designer and Phil’s third wife, has long been a central figure in his life story. The couple married in 1999, had two sons together, and despite divorcing in 2008, they famously reconciled years later. Their relationship was often the subject of media headlines, with many surprised by their reunion after such a public split. Collins, however, admitted that his heart never really let go of Orianne.
“In the end, it wasn’t about fame or fortune,” Phil explained. “It was about who made me feel at home, who I could laugh with, who understood me beyond the music.” Though their relationship endured breakups and difficult moments, Collins confessed that he always carried a deep affection for her that never faded.
Over the years, the pair’s relationship has seen many twists. Their divorce was once the most expensive in British celebrity history, but the two found their way back to each other, living together again before separating for a second time. Yet, even now, Phil says Orianne remains the most significant woman in his life. “People think money and success are everything, but when you’re sitting quietly by yourself, you realize love is what matters most,” he said.
Collins also reflected on how his personal life influenced his music. Many of his greatest hits, such as “Against All Odds” and “One More Night,” were born from heartbreak and longing. He admitted that his raw emotions were always closest to the surface when he was writing about love and loss. “That’s why people connect to my songs,” he said. “Because they’re about real feelings.”
Fans worldwide have reacted with warmth and sympathy to Collins’ confession. Social media has been flooded with supportive comments, with many applauding the singer for his honesty and vulnerability.
Now in his mid-70s, battling health issues and enjoying retirement, Phil Collins has nothing left to prove. Yet, his latest revelation shows that even after decades of fame, the most important truth remains simple—love leaves the deepest mark. As Collins said quietly, “She was the one. She always was.”
