She and Bates, a male escort, secretly got married in Las Vegas in 2020 — with no prenup — and then they moved into the Genesis star’s $40 million Miami Beach mansion while Collins was in Europe on tour.

Collins subsequently got Cevey and Bates booted from his home and they moved into the Fort Lauderdale mansion, after which things quickly soured for the pair.

Cevey announced their divorce in December 2021, blaming their failed marriage on the pandemic.

However, Bates claimed in court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, that Cevey had a “ferocious temper,” hid his possessions from him, and threatened to cut off his genitals when he asked them to be returned.


The drummer has three other children, including Lily Collins, from two other marriages.

Cevey also married Charles Fouad Mejjati, with whom she shares a son, in 2008 and finalized their divorce in 2017.

After their separation, Cevey briefly reunited with Collins between 2016 and 2019 before secretly marrying Bates.

The drummer was also married to Jill Tavelman from 1984 to 1996 and they share daughter Lily Collins, 34. He and Andrea Bertorelli were married from 1975 to 1980 and they share daughter Joely, 51, and son Simon, 47.
