Whatever Happened To Days Of Our Lives' Philip Kiriakis?

"Days of Our Lives" viewers watched Philip Kiriakis get his heart crushed when Chloe Lane fell in love with and married Brady Black. Philip was forced to pick up the pieces of his life and ultimately developed feelings for Belle Black, the longtime love of his best friend, Shawn Brady. Belle and Philip started a relationship and even got engaged. However, before they had a chance to plan their wedding, Philip was called to active duty in Iraq. The couple had a hurried wedding ceremony before Philip was deployed. During his time overseas, Philip dealt with a lot of trauma, including losing part of his leg. He returned home, and he and Belle decided to start a family together. Philip was thrilled to learn that Belle was pregnant, and the two welcomed a daughter named Claire together. However, shortly after Claire's birth, it was revealed that Philip wasn't her biological father. Instead, Claire belonged to Shawn.

Philip was heartbroken to find out that he wasn't Claire's father and eventually fought for custody of the little girl. The situation got ugly, and Shawn and Belle planned to run away with their daughter. After realizing that he had lost Belle and Claire forever, Philip threw himself into his work and began to focus his energy on his family's company, Titan Industries, when his father, Victor Kiriakis, made him CEO.
