Joan Collins, the iconic actress known for her role in "Dynasty," continues to defy norms as she steps into the spotlight with her fifth husband, Percy Gibson, at the age of 90.

The couple recently made a charming appearance at the Claridge's Christmas Tree Party in London, radiating love and joy.

Draped in elegance, Collins donned a stylish black ensemble at the festive event.

Her radiant smile spoke volumes as she cozied up to Percy Gibson, her husband since 2002.

The pair, visibly smitten, has a special connection with Claridge's, the place where their journey as a married couple began on February 17, 2002.

Collins: We wrote love letters

Percy Gibson, a renowned Hollywood producer from Peru, entered Collins's life as her fifth husband, bringing a sense of stability and joy.

Collins shared insights into their relationship, emphasizing their deep connection and shared wavelength.

Reflecting on her fifth marriage, Collins expressed, "First of all, we were great pals before we got married. We enjoyed each other's company. We wrote love letters - it was a gradual thing. And we realized that we were very much on the same wavelength."

Their friendship served as the foundation for a relationship built on mutual understanding and respect.

Age is just a number for Collins and Gibson

Addressing critics who highlight the couple's 32-year age gap, Collins dismisses age as "just a number."

In her recently released memoir, "Behind the Shoulder Pads: Tales I Tell My Friends," she shared their love story, emphasizing that love can find you at any stage in life.

"It's never too late," she asserted.

Their enduring bond is fueled by shared ambitions and a zest for life.

Collins, known for her vitality and enthusiasm, explained, "I was born with a tremendous enthusiasm for life. Life is a gift, and it does not last for a long time."

Her memoir delves into the couple's journey, shedding light on their connection and the secret behind their lasting union.

In the book, Collins candidly discusses her past relationships, acknowledging that breakups happen for various reasons.

Even after a failed engagement with Warren Beatty, she harbors no regrets.

"We were both too young, too selfish, too ambitious," she reflected. The actress, now happily married, sees these experiences as part of life's journey.

While recalling her relationship with Beatty, the actress revealed a poignant moment when, faced with an unexpected pregnancy, Beatty advised her to get an abortion.

The actress agreed, recognizing that they were both unprepared for parenthood at that stage in their lives.

"He was absolutely right," she affirmed.
