Bob Geldof was spotted having a family dinner with his daughters Tiger Lily Hutchence and Fifi Trixibelle at a chic French restaurant in Chelsea on Thursday.

The 72-year-old Boomtown Rats frontman cut a relaxed figure as he left the Colbert Restaurant in west London.

After leaving the family dinner, Bob was seen hugging his eldest daughter Fifi before they parted ways.

40-year-old Fifi, who works in the PR industry, chose a cozy blue turtleneck combined with a brown coat to say goodbye to her father.

Tiger Lily, 27, who was adopted by Bob after the death of her father Michael Hutchence in 1997, opted for a simple blue zip-up bomber jacket.

The group was also joined by Tiger Lily's new boyfriend, model Ben Archer.

Bob married TV presenter Paula Yates in 1986 and together the couple had three daughters, Fifi, Pixie, 33, and Peaches, before divorcing in 1996.

But the singer met French actress Jeanne Marine in 1996 at a dinner party, where the singer had fled in a fit of depression over his divorce from his first wife.

They quickly became inseparable, but remained secretive about their romance and moved in together in London.

Bob has credited Jeanne with helping him raise his daughters Fifi, Pixie, Peaches and his adopted daughter Tiger-Lilly – and previously said his children “wouldn't have survived” without her.

He has even paid tribute to her through his music, and in his song 10:15 from his 2002 album Sex Age & Death, Bob sang: “Jeanne saved my soul again last night.”

And when the family tragically lost Peaches in 2014, Live Aid founder Jeanne proposed marriage a few days later – a moment that, he said, “cleared the air” when Fifi and Pixie “were in agony “.

The French actress first briefly met her future husband in 1990 when he was recording the LP The Vegetarians Of Love.

When Bob's ex-wife Paula died of a heroin overdose in 2000, he and Jeanne were the ones who took in their daughter Tiger-Lily

Bob told the Irish Independent that he was immediately struck by her beauty: “She went out with an actor. 'I thought she was a stunning beauty, Brigitte Bardot.'

However, Bob and Jeanne only started dating six years later after meeting at a dinner party in Paris.

He explained: '[Some friends] gave me dinner to help me and invited Jeanne. “He is alone; You're single.' That was probably the kind of match-making thing. She is a really lovely person. She made it possible for me to take care of my children.'

When Bob's ex-wife Paula died of a heroin overdose in 2000, he and Jeanne were the ones who took in their daughter Tiger-Lily.

Tiger Lily, who was four at the time, already knew the Boomtown Rats star well, having stayed with him regularly when Paula was struggling in the years following the death of her partner Michael Hutchence.

Geldof became Tiger's legal guardian and officially adopted her in 2007, determined to remove her from the show business spotlight.

However, it was also Jeanne's influence that supported Tiger during this difficult time.

Gerry Agar previously told The Chron: “Tiger was totally raised and totally loved by Bob's wife Jeanne, so she has such stability.”

“They were very strict with her and Tiger is incredibly different from Peaches. “She wants to please them.”

Geldof paid tribute to his wife in 2012, saying: “I adore Jeanne.” You look around amidst the carnage and you're still standing.

“And there’s this extraordinary and beautiful woman – and I don’t just mean physically, although she is stunning.”

In a previous interview, Jeanne said of her admiration for her partner: “I liked his elegance and his Irish manner.”

“Bob is exactly the type of man I've always been waiting for.” He's compassionate, charming, intelligent and good-looking to boot. “He is the most beautiful man in the world and I adore him.”

In 2014, another tragedy struck the family when Peaches tragically died of a heroin overdose at her home in Kent.

She left behind her two sons Astala and Phaedra and her husband Thomas Cohen.

Just days after her funeral, Bob proposed to Jeanne.

Jerry Hall, a friend of the couple, announced the happy news to the Mail at the time: “Bob has proposed marriage.” She is overjoyed. Jeanne was a rock and a tower of strength in this regard. “I’m so happy for her that I’m almost bursting to tell anyone.”

It is understood the couple had originally planned to walk down the aisle at St Mary Magdalene & St Lawrence Church, near their home in Faversham, Kent, as the church is very important to the family.

The chapel is where Bob married Paula Yates in 1986, his daughter Peaches married Thomas Cohen in 2012 and the tragic socialite was buried.

Instead, Bob married his partner of 19 years, Jeanne, in the south of France in 2015. The Irish rocker and the French actress tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Rayol Canadel Sur Mer.
