Phil Collins and his ex-wife put on a united front on Friday as they attended their first event since announcing they will remarry. The couple, who went through a £25million divorce a few years ago, arrived at The Little Dreams Foundation Benefit gala in Miami looking more in love than ever.

The 65-year-old singer, who is still recovering from back surgery, was pictured with his ex-wife Orianne, 43, and their two sons Nicholas, 14 and 11-year-old Matthew, who came to support him while he performed at the event.

Phil and Orianne are pictured together for the first time since their reconciliation

The star's wife recently revealed that they are planning to tie the knot again following their reconciliation. The couple rekindled their relationship last year, and Orianne says they are "determined" to marry again, this time with their two sons present.

Speaking to Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick, she said: "I call Phil now again as my husband. We are so close that it makes no difference whether we are married. But we are determined to get married one day a second time."

The pair announced they would remarry following their divorce six years ago

Orianne revealed that she is already planning the wedding, and says it will be a more intimate affair than the extravagant three-day ceremony the couple hosted in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1999.

"The important difference is that now our children can be there," Orianne explained. "I imagine the next celebration will be more familiar and smaller. On our first wedding in 1999 in Lausanne, we had to invite many more people to not disappoint anyone."

The couple first tied the knot in 1999

Phil revealed in January that he had been living in Miami with his ex-wife for the last six months after they got back together.

In an interview with Billboard, the 64-year-old was asked about his struggle with alcohol addiction and told the magazine: "I'm all right now. I bought a house (in Miami) about six months ago. I'm actually back with my third wife – I haven't really talked about it. "We've been together for a while, and nobody's noticed."

The couple were first married in 1999, before announcing their separation in March 2006. Their divorce was finalised in August 2008, and Phil continued to live in their home in Switzerland, while his wife and their children relocated to Miami.
