Bob Geldof has reportedly popped the question to his girlfriend of 18 years, French actress Jeanne Marine.
Mick Jagger’s former wife Jerry Hall broke the news to reporters at the Wellcome Book Prize ceremony in London.
She told the Daily Mail: “Bob has proposed. She is over the moon… Bob and Jeanne have been through hell, but they are determined something positive will come out of it”.
The model and actress added: “After all the sadness, we need something to focus on which will bring joy and light”.
The news comes in the same week that the inquest into the death of Peaches Geldof opens. Media reports claim that the inquest will hear that the 25-year-old died from a heroin overdose.
