Phil and Andrea divorced in 1980, having had one child, Simon. Phil also adopted Andrea’s daughter from a previous relationship, Joely.

In 2016, Andrea sued Phil over the publication of his autobiography which details aspects of his career, including his relationships.

She said in a statement at the time: “For a number of years I have been the subject of comments made in the media about my relationship with my former husband Phil Collins.

“I have variously been portrayed as a homewrecker, a gold-digger and a bad mother.

“The recent publication of Phil’s autobiography Not Dead Yet is the final straw.”

At the moments, the details of the case have not been made public.

After this divorce, Phil married his second wife, Jill Tavelman, with whom they had one daughter, actress Lily.
