While the world buzzes with celebrity red carpets and headline-making proposals, Tiger Lily Hutchence—daughter of late rock icons Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates—chose to keep things refreshingly low-key.
The 28-year-old musician and artist has reportedly tied the knot with her longtime partner Ben Archer in a quiet, intimate ceremony in East London.
A Private “I Do” with Just 30 Close Guests
According to reports, the couple—who have been together since 2023—decided to say “I do” over the weekend in a relaxed yet chic celebration with just 30 of their closest family and friends.
The cozy wedding took place at a restaurant on Columbia Road, tucked away in the heart of East London’s creative scene.
While there’s been no official comment yet from Tiger Lily’s reps, sources close to the couple said it was a beautifully understated affair, focused more on love and connection than spectacle.
Family, Friends, and Rock ‘n’ Roll Vibes
Naturally, Tiger Lily’s nearest and dearest were by her side.
Her sisters Pixie and Fifi Geldof were present, as was her adoptive father, Sir Bob Geldof.
Adding a little rock star edge to the guest list? Nick Cave—her godfather—who was also invited to the ceremony.
“It was very chic, very relaxed,” a source shared. “It felt like a celebration of love, not a performance.
After the ceremony, everyone sat down for a meal together. It was a beautiful day.”
A Baby on the Way and a Whole Lot of Love
The wedding comes just weeks after the couple revealed they’re expecting their first child.
The baby news was shared in a creative way—Ben posted an art flyer on Instagram, casually revealing Tiger Lily’s growing baby bump.
He wrote: “My love @heavenlytiger is doing a show,” to which she cheekily replied with a hatching chick emoji and a sweet, “Wahooo love you.”
Fans were quick to react, flooding the comments with excitement and speculation.
“Is T having a baby?” one asked, while another shouted, “YES!! THIS IS HUGE!”
From Quiet Romance to Forever Partners
Tiger Lily and Ben’s relationship has been described as deeply grounded and full of mutual admiration.
According to insiders, they’ve been inseparable since they met, with Ben’s down-to-earth family being a comforting contrast to Tiger’s famously chaotic upbringing.
“Everyone’s been expecting an engagement,” a friend previously shared.
“She’s smitten, and he’s completely swept her off her feet. He’s everything she’s been looking for.”
Ben and Tiger aren’t shy about showing affection online, either.
Last year, she gushed “I love you” under a sweet birthday post from Ben, and in true flirty fashion, commented on one of his photos: “Fit.
I love you naked,” to which he jokingly replied, “Make out with me?” She responded immediately: “Yes!”
A New Chapter After Heartbreak and Healing
Tiger Lily’s journey has been marked by unimaginable loss and quiet strength.
Her father, Michael Hutchence, tragically took his life in 1997 when she was just a baby.
Three years later, her mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose. Tiger was orphaned by the age of four.
Stepping in during those dark days was Paula’s ex-husband, Bob Geldof.
He legally adopted Tiger Lily and raised her alongside his daughters—Fifi, Pixie, and the late Peaches.
Geldof has since credited his wife, French actress Jeanne Marine, with helping him raise the girls, calling her presence vital to their survival.
From Rock Star Roots to a Peaceful Life
Despite her legendary lineage, Tiger Lily—born Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily—has carved out a much quieter, more grounded life.
These days, she prefers the name Heavenly and lives a world away from the spotlight that once surrounded her family.
She’s found peace in the simplicity of surfing, yoga, and meditation.
Her musical talents still shine through, too—she last performed live in 2020 in Perth, where she sang and played piano alongside a guitarist.
