Bob Geldof is busy doing something that isn’t annoying lots of people, which is good – he’s got married in secret. Look, it’s not Bob’s fault he grinds people’s gears – but there was that thing with Band Aid 30 and Emeli Sande, wasn’t there? [WILL LINK]
Anyway, well done, and congrats to you, Sir Bob.
According to reports in The Sun, Bob and long-term partner Jeanne Marine wed in front of close friends and family in Rayol Canadel Sur Mer in the elegant south of France.
An insider told the paper: "[Bob’s eldest daughter] Fifi [Geldof] gave the game away when she panicked about getting her passport sorted for her dad's wedding. Jeanne has connections to Rayol Canadel so it all makes sense."
Fifi had posted to Instagram about being “wedding wankers” with her fiancé Andrew Robertson, but later deleted the post.
Rumbled.
Bob proposed to Jeanne shortly after his daughter Peaches Geldof tragically died of a heroin overdose last year.
At the time, Jerry Hall said: “Bob has proposed. She is over the moon. Jeanne Marine has been a rock and a tower of strength over this. I’m so excited for her I am bursting to tell someone.”
After a very tough year, we’re very happy for Bob and Jeanne.
