Despite the drama surrounding her first three marriages, Joan Collins is quick to acknowledge that the fourth took the cake. In fact, in her Daily Mail column, she referred to Swedish singer Peter Holm as “a mixture of obdurate dullard and calculating sociopath.”
According to Collins, she hadn’t wanted to marry Holm in the first place. However, persistent nagging from the boyfriend-turned-financial-manager did the trick. “Ultimately, he just wore me down,” she revealed. Things soon escalated to a point where he became increasingly controlling and “frankly scary.” Eventually, Collins caught Holm in bed with another woman, and the divorce proceedings began. As The Washington Post reported at the time, the split was as acrimonious as could be, with the former couple battling it out over everything from homes to answering machines. Eventually, per AP, Collins ended up paying $180,000 to her ex-husband, bringing the proceedings to an end. Understandably, the ordeal left a bitter taste in her mouth, and the “Dynasty” alum joked to The Washington Post that she wouldn’t marry a fifth time.
Luckily for Collins, however, she did go on to wed once more, and it certainly seems like she’s still happy with the decision. Speaking in her “This Is Joan Collins” documentary of her current husband, Percy Gibson, she gushed, “I’ve finally found my true soulmate. And my husband forever” (via The U.S. Sun). We couldn’t be happier for her — it certainly was a long time coming!
