She’s been divorced four times and dated more scoundrels than she cares to remember, but at 82, Joan Collins is finally happy.
She first met her fifth – and she hopes final – husband Percy Gibson in 2002, when he was married to another woman.

“I kissed a lot of frogs before I found my Mr Right,” the Dynasty icon tells the June issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly. “He is great in every respect and we have a great relationship. I’m not saying we don’t bicker or we totally agree about everything, but we are with each other 24 hours a day.”
