Billie Piper

Background

Billie Paul Piper, born Leian Paul Piper on September 22, 1982, is certainly an established household name in the television and film industry. Her success story in acting begins at the end of her career as a singer, albeit she quit music rather voluntarily. The history of her name change is an interesting one. Her parents decided that they didn’t like her original given name, Leian, and decided to officially change it on April 25, 1983, to Billie. Virgo is her Zodiac sign.

Piper was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, England to her parents Mandy Kane Kent and Paul Victor Piper. She has a younger brother, Charlie, and two younger sisters Harley and Elle. Billie Piper has not had successful marriages since she has a history of more than one divorce. At 18, she married Chris Evans who was 35 years old in May of 2001. They officially annulled their marriage relationship through a divorce in May 2007. On December 31, 2007, Piper and Laurence Fox got married. Two children, both sons, Winston James and Eugene Pip, were born out of that union. Piper began dating Tribes’ Johnny Lloyd in 2016, following which they were blessed with a daughter, Tallulah on January 2, 2019.

The limelight shone on Billie Piper when she was still a singer. She was first appreciated as a singer when she released her first debut single ‘Because We Want To.’ She was 15 at the time and therefore became among the youngest singers to be number one on the U.K. Singles Chart at the time. In 1998, she released her debut studio album “Honey to the B” which was certified platinum by B.P.I. and ranked four on the U.K. Album Chart. In 2003, she announced her permanent break from music to establish her career as an actress. As an actress, she is renowned for her roles in notable television series and films such as “Doctor Who,” “Penny Dreadful,” “Collateral,” and “I Hate Suzie.”
