They have split for a second time with reports stating that Phil Collins is struggling to evict his estranged wife from his £25m waterside Miami mansion.
But Orianne Cevey, 46, has been having boxing lessons at the luxurious property, posting videos to Instagram as she boasts of ‘learning the Mike Tyson shot’ just weeks ago.
Orianne has been having the lessons for some time with trainer Stacey McKinley – she had surgery on trapped nerves in her back in 2014, and it went wrong, leaving her temporarily paralysed and in a wheelchair.

The Genesis frontman, 69, and Orianne married in 1999, but split in 2006, getting divorced two years later. They share sons Nicholas, 19, and Matthew, 15.
Phil slumped into post-split binge drinking sessions, which proved almost fatal for him.
In 2015, the couple famously decided to give their romance another go – and all seemed to be well. but they never remarried.
The Easy Lover crooner even joked that he hadn’t asked for the £25million back that he gave Orianne in their divorce settlement in 2008 – a record amount at the time.

But following their second split, Orianne tied the knot with Thomas Bates in Las Vegas two months ago, after telling Collins that she was leaving town ‘on business.’
And now, she is set to have changed all the security codes in their Miami property.
Phil said to be poised to launch a legal eviction notice against her on Sunday, having set a deadline for her to leave of 3pm last Friday.
In response, she has become ‘unruly with staff’ and threatened to release ‘potentially embarrassing accusations’ against Collins if he moves forward with evicting her.
While his third wife is gunning to renegotiate their 2008 divorce settlement, sources close to the famous drummer allege he isn’t ‘giving her another dime.’

But pals of drummer and singer Collins, who is worth £130million, have said that he doesn’t want to give her anymore money.
Collins commented: ‘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.’
Orianne first moved to Miami in 2011 with her second husband, businessman Charles Mejjati, and the children. They had another boy together, and lived in a £7million house.
Collins flew out to Miami to support her in her recovery from her back surgery as her marriage to Mejjati broke down.

Phil has two children, Joely and Simon, in their 40s, from his first marriage, and a daughter, actress Lily Collins, from his marriage to Jill Tavelman.
Phil has also suffered his own health woes and has walked with a stick since he dislocated vertebrae in his neck while performing in the Genesis reunion tour in 2007.
Orianne and Collins met in 1994 when she was 21 and he was 44.
He was in the process of splitting bitterly from second wife Jill Tavelman – he famously sent her a fax expressing his fury over custody and access arrangements – and Orianne was hired to translate for him on a European tour.
Collins later admitted he was ‘a bit of a b***ard’ to Orianne when she suffered postnatal depression after the birth of Matthew.
