Peaches Geldof Cause Of Death Made Bob Geldof Realize How Short Life Is? Late Socialite's Dad Proposed To His Girlfriend 'Out Of The Blue'

Peaches Geldof's cause of death has been linked to heroin and this further devastated her father, Bob Geldof. After all, he likewise lost Geldof's mother, Paula Yates, in 2000 because of accidental overdose. Realizing that life is fleeting, the Boomtown Rats singer finally proposed to French actress Jeanne Marine, his girlfriend of 18 years.

Jerry Hall, the future Mrs. Geldof's friend, confirmed the blissful news to Daily Mail:

"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."

"Bob and Jeanne have been through hell, but they are determined something positive will come out of it. After all the sadness, we need something to focus on which will bring joy and light," he continued.

The 25-year-old English socialite's death was reportedly one of the reasons which prompted the 62-year-old singer to pop the million-dollar question to his girlfriend.

"I've just got back from Texas and accompanied Jeanne to the funeral. It was, of course, terribly sad, but she told me that Bob had asked her to marry him out of the blue. I'm so happy for her. It makes you realize we all have to value what we have," Hall said.

He might have lost one of his fortresses but Bob Geldof's blessed for having a fiancée who appreciates him.

"I liked his elegance and his Irishness. Bob is exactly the kind of man I've always been waiting for. He's compassionate, charming, intelligent and, on top of that, good-looking. He's the most handsome man in the world and I adore him," once gushed Marine.
