'Nobody's noticed' Phil Collins admits he's BACK with his ex-wife after £25m divorce
PHIL COLLINS and his former wife Orianne Cevey have put their differences aside and reconciled, after the singer had to pay out a whopping £25 million in their divorce settlement in 2008.

Cevey, 42, who was left disabled after an unsuccessful surgery to treat a slipped disc in her neck, has returned to her ex-husband and the pair have been enjoying their rekindled romance ever since.
Speaking to Billboard, the 64-year-old revealed: "I'm back with my third wife - I haven't really talked about it. We've been together for a while, and nobody's noticed."
The Swiss jewellery designer made a major dent in the Easy Lover's bank account when they divorced eight years ago, making his marital woes a total of £42 million so far.
After undergoing three painful divorces, Collins reportedly hit the bottle hard as a coping mechanism, but the Against All Odds hitmaker is presently clean and sober.

His first marriage to drama student Andrea Bertorelli in 1975 lasted five years, while wedded bliss with actress Jill Tavelman lasted slightly longer.
The pair married in 1984 but divorced 12 years later. His marriage to Cevey seemed the strongest but their separation ended up costing him the most.
The couple said their vows in 1999 in a lavish £300,000, three-day ceremony with the likes of Elton John and Eric Clapton on the guest list.

Their two sons, Matthew, 14 and Nicholas, 11, were said to be ecstatic by the news.
He added: “Our two young sons are like a dog with two tails. I mean, they are just so happy.
“They’ve got their mum and dad back together, so it’s a good place to be at the moment.”
