Gibson’s first wife was Cynthia Bauer, while Collins had four ex-husbands: Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley, Ron Kass, and Peter Holm. She also has three children from her previous marriages: Tara, Alexander (Sacha), and Katyana.

Joan Collins’ Husband, Percy Gibson Was Born In Peru
Percy Gibson’s full name is Percy Jorge Gibson Miguel Monaghan Mueller Parra del Riego. He was born on October 14, 1965, in San Isidro, a suburb of Lima, the capital of Peru. He is currently 59 years old, as we have mentioned.
His father, Mr. Jorge Gibson Sr. came from a wealthy and noble Peruvian family. On the other hand, his mother, Bridget Monaghan, is an Irish-Scottish teacher, born and raised in a humble background in Glasgow, Scotland, by her parents. Her father, that is, Gibson’s maternal grandfather, was a railway worker. She relocated to Peru to teach, and that’s how she met and fell in love with Percy’s father.
At the moment, it is not known if he is the only child of his parents or if he has other siblings. He grew up in San Isidro and attended one of the best schools in the country.
A tragedy struck in 1990 when Gibson’s father died. He was 25 years old at the time. He sold his family home for £150,000 and gave half of the money to his mother and the other half to his lawyer. His relatives were angry with him for doing this.
He left Peru with his mother and his wife, Cynthia Bauer, whom he married in 1989 when he was 24. They moved to New York, the United States.
Some reports say that he moved to the US when he was 17, around 1982.
