maybe it's just the essence of hugh grant but I can totally see phillip as having been divorced with a child or two by the time he met blanc. imagine reconnecting with your dad who had very little presence in your childhood and you find out he's remarried to the real life sherlock holmes. dad this guy has been referenced on snl. he knows royalty on a first name basis. what the fuck.
this also makes my "blanc is phil's last name" headcanon even funnier if the kids didn't change their names to their mothers maiden / step-dads name. getting "like the detective?" for like a decade without knowing that it is in fact the detective who's stolen your name
