DOES JOAN COLLINS HAVE CHILDREN?

The Hollywood star has three children - daughters, Tara and Katyana, and son, Alexander. The veteran actress shares her equally-talented children with her two former husbands.

Tara and Alexander are Collins' children with her late ex-husband, Anthony Newly, who was an actor, brilliant singer-songwriter, and filmmaker. Newly passed away in 1999.

Newly and Kass are two out of four of Collin's famous ex-husbands. She married late Irish actor Maxwell Reed in 1952 and later divorced him in 1956.

Later on, she found love with Swedish pop singer Peter Holm, whom she married in 1985. Unfortunately, they split up in 1987. At present, Collins has been happily married to Percy Gibson since 2002.

WHO ARE JOAN'S CHILDREN?

Collins' children all share a passion for arts and entertainment. Born in 1963, Tara is a talented writer, broadcaster, and producer who dabbled in acting like her famous mom.
