Who are Lily Collins’s parents?
So who are her parents? Well, her mother Jill Tavelman is an actress and her father is Phil Collins.
Yep, you read that right, Phil Collins the legendary drummer, singer, songwriter and actor.
Phil, 71 and Jill, 66, were married between 1984 and 1996 and Lily has four siblings from her father’s two other marriages.
Is Lily Collins Phil Collins’s biological daughter?
Yes! She was born on March 18, 1989, to Phill and Jill. Lily’s half-sister Joely, was adopted by Phil Collins and his first wife shortly after her birth in 1972.
Although Lily’s dad is quite well known, she revealed earlier this year that getting a “free pass” for being Phil Collins’ daughter was “out of the question.”
“It was out of the question that people would think that I use a free pass thanks to my name,” she told Vogue France in November.
“I’m proud of my dad, but I wanted to be me, not just his daughter,” she continued. “I love to sing. But as I wanted to make my own way, far from the paternal genius — I preferred to be an actress.”
