Changes: Phil Dwyer

Revision as of 05:20, 27 May 2012

"My mother... she's very young for her age. I think Phil makes her feel younger. At any rate, she's crazy about him."

―Bella Swan on Renée Dwyer and Phil.^[src]

Phil Dwyer is Renée Dwyer's second husband and Bella Cullen's stepfather, as well as the stepfather-in-law of Edward Cullen and the step-grandfather of Renesmee Cullen.

Biography

History

Phil married Renée the same month Bella turned 17. They had planned to get married in Mexico, but that did not happen. Though Bella didn't like the fact that her mother remarried with someone younger than her, she found Phil quite decent and accepted him, and Phil adapted to Bella. However, because he is a minor league baseball pleayer, he spends a majority of his time away from his new family. Renée stayed home with Bella, but she always missed him. Seeing how lonely her mom felt, Bella decided to move back to Forks with her biological father, Charlie Swan, so Renée and Phil can travel together.
