Phil Collins shares truth about Taylor Swift<\/a><\/p>\nCollins\u2019 five children include eldest daughter Joely, 53, and eldest son Simon, 49, whom he shares with his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli. The two were married from 1975 to 1979.<\/p>\n
Collins welcomed daughter Lily, 37, with his second wife, Jill Tavelman. He and the actress were married for a decade before they split in 1994.<\/p>\n
He shares son Nicholas, 25, as well as his youngest son, Matthew, 18, with his third wife, Orianne Cevey. Their divorce was finalised in 2008 after nine years of marriage.<\/p>\n
The legendary drummer told the Sunday Times he\u2019s open to a fourth wife.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d love to be in love again,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI would love a relationship. Kissing somebody, for example. You know, pretty basic stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Collins \u2014 who now lives in Switzerland with only a live-in nurse \u2014 isn\u2019t sure it\u2019s in the cards for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s probably too late for that,\u201d he mused. \u201cI\u2019m not a very social person. I don\u2019t, you know, I don\u2019t go out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The In the Air Tonight singer retired from touring in March 2022 after losing his drumming abilities. Collins has suffered from numerous health issues over the years, including dislocating vertebrae in his neck in 2007 that left nerve damage to his hands. He has used a cane since 2015, when he had back surgery.<\/p>\n
Back in May, Collins said he was still toying with the idea of making new music and even possibly touring again despite his health woes over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m healthier now than I have been for quite a while. Whether or not I would go out again \u2026 I would contemplate,\u201d he said during his appearance on BBC Breakfast.<\/p>\n
