Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof has secretly tied the knot with her boyfriend of two years, British film director and model Ben Archer.
The 28-year-old daughter of Australian rock legend Michael Hutchence and British TV presenter Paula Yates married Ben at a ceremony in East London on Saturday, according to The Sun.
A source told the publication Tiger Lily was joined by her adoptive father Bob Geldof at the very "low-key" and "chic" nuptials.
“They hired out a restaurant on Columbia Road for about 30 guests," the source said on Monday.
“Tiger Lily’s sisters, Pixie and Fifi, were there, as well as Bob.
“The guest list was very rock 'n' roll, with Tiger Lily’s godfather, Nick Cave, invited, too.
The source added Tiger Lily and Ben are "so happy together" and chose to celebrate their love with their closest family and friends.
The day consisted of a service following a meal and was said to have been the "cherry on top" for the couple ahead of becoming parents.
Ben announced Tiger Lily was pregnant in February through a now-deleted social media post.
Several Polaroid snaps of soon-to-be mother showed her cradling her growing baby bump.
Her husband also promoted her upcoming art show, I Want More, which included images of her pregnancy.
"My love @heavenlytiger is doing a show," Ben captioned the post.
Tiger Lily responded "Wahooo love you" with a hatching chick emoji, seemingly confirming speculation she is pregnant.
Friends of the couple quickly flooded the comments expressing their excitement, with one person writing: "The pregnancy! I can't take it!"
A source told New Idea Michael, who was the lead singer of the rock band INXS before he died by suicide in 1997 when Tiger-Lily was 16 months old, would have been so proud of her.
"That Michael isn't here to be a no doubt very cool grandad is just tragic," the source said in February.
"He always absolutely doted on Tiger, and he would've been besotted by his grandchild. He would be so proud."
Less than three years after Michael's death, Paula died from a heroin overdose at age 41.
Bob Geldof subsequently raised Tiger Lily in the UK alongside her half-sisters Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie, and Peaches, who died in 2014 from a drug overdose.
The 28-year-old previously lived in Fremantle, Perth, where she dated Australian musician Nicholas Allbrook but is understood to have returned to the UK after starting her relationship with Ben in mid-2023.
Now a singer-songwriter known as Heavenly Tiger, she has largely remained out of the public eye.
