Personal Life
Collins has a daughter, Maia Rose (born 1996) with ex-boyfriend Fabrizio Tassalini, who herself has appeared in various acting jobs, such as the short film 'Play'. Her pregnancy was written into her return to EastEnders the same year. Although having separated some time ago, Tassalini lives in Italy with his new family.
Collins's complex love life includes dating cameraman Mark Waters, whom she met while filming the BBC travel rep drama Sunburn, for two years. Collins and her Welsh boyfriend Parry Cockwell called off their wedding in February 2005, saying things were moving too fast, before splitting in October 2005.
Her friends include singer Paul Young and his wife Stacey, and chef Aldo Zilli. She owns a pet Samoyed called Jingle.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I began to expand my personal service in the church, and to search more diligently for a closer relationship with God among my different business, professional and political interests.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Since the Greeks, Western man has believed that Being, all Being, is intelligible, that there is a reason for everything ... and that the cosmos is, finally, intelligible. The Oriental, on the other hand, has accepted his existence within a universe that would appear to be meaningless, to the rational Western mind, and has lived with this meaninglessness. Hence the artistic form that seems natural to the Oriental is one that is just as formless or formal, as irrational, as life itself.”
—William Barrett (b. 1913)
