Lily Collins: My parents influence my love life
Lily Collins’ parents influence her love life.
The ‘Love, Rosie’ star has confessed that her mother and father, Jill Tavelman and Phil Collins, have an influence on who she decides to date.
Speaking during an appearance on The Talk, she said: "I find that I’m really attracted to mysterious creatives, and I love people that are able to put their emotions out there for not just the world to see, but just that are giving of their emotions, but a little bit mysterious and elusive as well.
"And my mom is such a strong independent strong-willed woman and she always taught me to accept my worth for how I viewed myself and female empowerment, and it’s ok to be independent and also need someone at the same time. I kinda get to be both."
It comes after the 28-year-old actress and model insists she has forgiven her father for "not being the dad she expected".
In her debut book, ‘Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me’, she explained: "I forgive you for not always being there when I needed and for not being the dad I expected. I forgive the mistakes you made. And although it may seem like it’s too late, it’s not. There’s still so much time to move forward.
"We all make choices and, although I don’t excuse some of yours, at the end of the day we can’t rewrite the past. I’m learning how to accept your actions and vocalise how they made me feel. I accept and honour the sadness and anger I felt toward the things you did or didn’t do, did or didn’t give me."
