The two tied the knot in 2002, and their relationship is still going strong.
“[Percy’s] a wonderful, kind, truly good man.”
Before meeting Gibson, she had four other marriages, including one with Irish actor Maxwell Reed.
He was her first husband, but their marriage had nothing to do with love.
The “Dynasty” star met Reed when she was only 17.
She agreed to go out with him, even though he was 31 years old.
Reed allegedly raped Collins on their first date, taking advantage of her innocence.
“I was 17, but I was the equivalent mentally of 12.
We did not have sex education,” she confessed in an interview withThe Guardian.
The actress ended up marrying him, but things continued to go downhill.

When Reed asked her out, she accepted without hesitation.
“In those days, my mother would have said I was ‘taken advantage of.’
Now we call it date rape,” Collins confessed in her interview with the BBC.
But despite what she went through, she continued to date Reed and eventually married him out of guilt.
Their honeymoon was a disaster, and things only got worse throughout their marriage.
The two divorced after four years of marriage when Collins was in her early 20s.
Somehow, she found the strength to move on and forge a new life for herself.
The two filed for divorce in 1983.
The actress divorced him in 1987 and had no intention to marry again.
Collins was instantly drawn to him, and the rest is history.
“Soon we were having a fully-fledged, passionate affair.
The two have been together ever since, which proves that true love is worth the wait.
