Smiling as he cosied-up to Orianne at the Florida venue, the 65 year-old singer, who hails from Chiswick, cut a casual figure.

Wearing a checked shirt with a pair of stonewash jeans, he looked borderline off-duty as he arrived arm-in-arm with his former wife. 

Capping the look with a pair of old trainers and his glasses, the Genesis frontman seemed to take the outing in his stride.

Naturally, the united front garnered plenty of attention followin news of their rekindled romance. 

The duo, who have two sons together, divorced in 2008 after nine years of marriage. Orianne scored a record-breaking £25 million dollars in the split.

She went on to marry investment banker Charles Mejjati and have another son, but filed for divorce last year. Speaking to Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick, Orianne, 43, said: 'Our separation was the wrong decision. 

'I now call Phil my husband again. We are so close that it does not actually make a difference if we are married or not, but we are determined to get married for a second time one day.'

Genesis star Phil, 65, and Orianne reconciled in 2015 while he was supporting his ex-wife after she was left partially paralysed due to complications following surgery on a slipped disc.

They are now living together in Miami with their sons Matthew, 14, and Nicholas, 11.

Orianne continued: 'We were always very close, because of the children... just last year, I realised that he is indeed the man of my life.

'I spent four months in hospital, and he took wonderful care of Matthew and Nicholas. That was a great relief to me... we are meant for each other.'

During their marriage, the couple lived in Switzerland, with the rocker continuing to reside in the country following the breakdown of his third marriage.

However, following Orianne's injury, he relocated to the United States to help take care of their sons.

Speaking in New York earlier this month, Phil said: 'We went back because we realised we had made a mistake. A lot of people don't have that chance, or don't give themselves that chance.

'Our young sons Matthew and Nicholas are like a dog with two tails. I mean, they're just so happy. They've got their mum and dad back together, so it's a good place to be at the moment.'

As well as Orianne, Phil was also married to American Jill Tavelman from 1984 to 1996 and Andrea Bertorelli from 1975-1980.

Phil is father to Canadian actress and film producer Joely, 43,and musician Simon, 39, from his first marriage to Andrea, who live in Canada and the UK respectively.

His daughter Lily from his second marriage to Jill is now an established Hollywood actress.
