Phil Collins was left heartbroken when the ex-wife he rekindled a romance with decided to dump him – via text.
And if 69-year-old Phil was hoping his ex-wife, Orianne Cevey, might change her mind again, it appears too late – as she has already married someone else.
Phil and third wife Orianne were originally married back in 1999 and enjoyed a nine year romance before divorcing in 2008.
The couple have two sons together, Nicholas and Matthew, and met when Orianne was working as a translator for the I Don’t Care Anymore singer.
Phil and Orianne reunited in 2016 after they moved to Miami, Florida – with the singer originally relocating there to be closer to his sons before falling again for his ex-wife.
However, the romance soured again and this month a court battle has been launched after Phil filed an eviction notice to Orianne after she secretly married a guitarist named Thomas Bates in August.
The Sun on Sunday claims Phil was dumped by Orianne via text – where she revealed she was getting hitched to someone else.
The text message is reported as stating she had: “found someone and would like to try to see if I can be happy again”.
It is believed the text message was received by an astonished Phil in July – while Orianne and Thomas tied-the-knot on August 2.
Mirror Online have contacted a representative of Phil for comment.
