Paula was born in Wales on April 24, 1960. She had a troubled childhood and a wild teenage days.

She married Sir Bob Geldof in 1986 and they had three daughters: Fifi Trixabelle (b. 1984), Peaches Honeyblossom (b. 1990) and Pixie (b. 1994).

Paula met Michael Hutchence in 1995 and left Bob for the leader singer of INXS, the love of his life. They had a daughter one year later, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

The legal battle over Paula and Bob´s daughters was long and horrible, involving some other people like Michael himself. She finally lost their custody in 1997.
Soon after, on November 22, Michael killed himself in a hotel room leaving a devastated Paula and a gorgeous 15-month-old little girl who was the only reason for Paula to smile.

After another cruel fight, this time for Tiger Lily´s custody, Paula was found dead at home by her own daughter on September 17, 2000- aged 40. It´s still unknown if it was a suicide or an accident.

Tiger Lily lives now with Sir Bob Geldof and her three half-sisters.

Paula, no matter what´s been said about her, was a very sweet, caring, loving person. She adored her daughters, she was always there for her friends.
Her loss is such a tragedy.
Rest in peace, dear Paula, together with your beloved Michael.

Happy 50th Paula!

Wow. Time flies. 50 years old.

Wishing you were here always, Fifi, Peaches, Pixie and Tiger were blessed to have you in their lives for such a short time.

I sometimes imagine you out and about with your four girls and all of them having a huge smile on their face because they love to spend time with their beautiful mother.

It still breaks my heart that you left so soon and those little girls had to become very mature very suddenly.

Amazing person

Thinking of you today Paula, it's been 8 years since you went away. It still saddens me. 8 long years since your daughters felt your loving embrace.
They are beautiful but Peaches and Pixie are doing it tough being in the spotlight.
Oh and you also have a son-in-law now.
All your girls with Bob are now officially adults because Pixie turned 18 today.
Bob and the girls are taking good care of your baby, your precious Tiger Lily and they are all very protective of her as you would have wanted.

I wish you were here to see them grow into young women but I know you are watching over them. I love you Paula and I hope you are at peace.

Rest In Peace Beautiful Lady

I hope you are in heaven, with Michael, your true love. Looking down and watching over Fifi, Peaches, Pixie and Tiger. They are all very beautiful. Peaches looks just like her mummy and Tiger looks just like her daddy.
Bob is doing the best he can. I'm sure all the girls miss you very much, but they must also know their mum is finally at peace after so many terrible years. You are sadly missed Paula. Please know that through all the things you went through in the last couple of years, people cared about you. People like me who did not know you.
Now, we have your children to care about, and everytime I look at Peaches and the things she does, I am just reminded of you. Rest In Peace Paula.

So Sorry Paula

Paula was a great mom! She had a funny sense of humor and she loved her kids. I think the day Michael died she hit rock bottom for she loved him so much.
