It’s Billie Piper’s birthday today, so as she turns 31 years old, we have a look back over her dating life.
In May 2001, Piper married DJ and TV presenter Chris Evans in Las Vegas. The ceremony was secret and they wed after only 6 months of dating.
Once their marriage was in the public domain, it attracted a lot of media attention as Evans was 16 years Piper’s senior, which Evans admitted was the main reason for their divorce.
Her parents found out about their marriage when listening to Virgin Radio, when the station announced that the couple had been wed in the Las Vegas Chapel called Little Church of the West.
Billie wore flips flops during the ceremony and Danny Baker was Chris’ best man. Their wedding package was the second highest one the chapel offered.
In 2004, the couple called it quits however have remained friends since.
The Independent reported that Piper did not ever wish to claim any money from Evans- despite his 30 million wealth.
