‘I love this little life’: Emily In Paris star Lily Collins shares moments from her British countryside getaway with husband and baby

Lily Collins, known for her role in Emily in Paris, recently posted adorable photos from a relaxing trip to the British countryside with her husband and their baby.

Emily in Paris actress Lily Collins and her husband, Charlie McDowell, had a baby girl named Tove in January 2025, using a surrogate mother.

On Friday, she posted on Instagram that her family of three had a relaxing weekend getaway in the countryside.

I’ve been noticing Lily and Charlie’s vacation photos, and they look absolutely incredible! They shared a really cute video, and honestly, the food they were enjoying looked amazing – a total feast! It’s so lovely to see them indulging and having a great time.

She posted a video of baby Tove learning to crawl inside their hotel room and enjoying a walk in a stroller.

Oh my gosh, even their dog came with them! I can just picture them, totally carefree, taking this adorable, messy walk through the park… it’s just perfect. I’m so jealous!

Lily’s family vacation follows closely after she publicly celebrated her father Phil’s 75th birthday with a touching message.

On Saturday, she shared a current photo of the two of them on Instagram, along with an old picture of the musician carrying her when she was a little girl.

It just warmed my heart to see Lily recently share such a sweet moment with her dad! He retired in 2022, and she posted the most lovely message about how incredibly proud she is of everything he’s achieved. It’s those little connections and showing appreciation for the people we love that really make life special, don’t you think?

She shared that her dad celebrated his 75th birthday yesterday, and she’s incredibly thankful they were able to celebrate together. She expressed her appreciation for everything he’s achieved and the happiness he’s brought to people over the years.

Thank you for everything – all the lessons, memories, and moments we’ve shared, and all those still to come. I feel incredibly lucky to have celebrated such a special day with you, filled with hugs, laughter, and cherished conversations.

Before adding: ‘Proud is an understatement. Love you to the moon and back again…’.

Fans enthusiastically shared their congratulations, with many noting how his music has been a part of their lives – particularly for those born in 1967. One fan wrote, ‘He’s the soundtrack to so many of our lives! Happy birthday!’

People shared heartfelt birthday wishes for Phil Collins’ daughter, Lily, praising her father’s lasting musical impact. Many commented on how much joy his music has brought to them and fans around the world, with some recalling listening to his songs non-stop in celebration. Several users specifically complimented Lily’s touching words about her father.

Phil has five children: three sons and two daughters. His daughter, Lily, and two of his sons, Simon and Nic, followed in his footsteps and became drummers.

Phil Collins, the singer and drummer from Genesis, has type 2 diabetes and has also experienced health issues stemming from a spine injury he first developed in 2007.

He’s now shared that he’s undergone five knee surgeries, requires around-the-clock nursing care, and his kidneys have failed due to years of heavy drinking.

But… he says, there is ‘life in the old dog yet’.

Phil recently shared that he’s been focusing on his health after facing several medical challenges over the past few years, and he’s happy with his recovery progress.

Talking to Zoe Ball on BBC Two’s ‘Eras – In Conversation’ to mark his birthday, he explained that managing his health is a continuous process. He relies on a full-time live-in nurse to ensure he takes his medication correctly.

I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues, especially with my knee. It felt like everything that could go wrong, did. I even got COVID while in the hospital, which caused my kidneys to fail, and it all happened at once.

I’ve had five surgeries on my knee, and thankfully, it’s now functional enough for me to walk, though I still need help from crutches.

Honestly, I think I’d really overdone it with the drinking, and it was starting to affect my kidneys. I always loved the break after a tour, getting off the road, because it meant I could finally do all the things I’d been missing out on while traveling.

He explained that he didn’t stay up all night drinking, but he did drink during the day, probably too much. He wasn’t usually drunk, though he stumbled a couple of times. Ultimately, it caught up with him, and he ended up spending several months in the hospital.

Phil’s romantic history has been complicated, having been married three times to Andrea Bertorelli, Jill Tavelman, and Orianne Cevey.

After their nine-year marriage ended in 2008, Phil reportedly paid Orianne a staggering £25 million. The couple briefly got back together in 2016, but ultimately separated again.
