Bob Geldof is reportedly engaged to his long-term girlfriend Jeanne Marine only weeks after his daughter Peaches Geldof was found dead at her home in Kent.

Former supermodel and their friend Jerry Hall has revealed that Marine has been the 62-year-old singer's strength through this difficult time and she's excited for the two, the Daily Star reported.

She added that they've been through hell, and need to focus on something that'll bring happiness.

The pair has been together for 18 years ever since the singer met the French actress in Paris during a dinner party in 1996.
