Who is Bob Geldof’s Wife? All About Jeanne Marine!

Legendary Irish musician and activist Bob Geldof is married to French actress Jeanne Marine. The couple tied the knot in 2015 after being together for several years. Their wedding took place in Rayol Canadel Sur Mer, located in the South of France.

Before marrying Marine, Geldof was previously wed to Paula Yates, with whom he shares three daughters – Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie. He once said that Marine supported him through challenging times, adding, “I couldn’t have raised my daughters without her support.”

What does Jeanne Marine do?

Jeanne Marine is an actress by profession. Born in Paris, she originally had the surname Lallemand but changed it to Marine. In a past interview, she explained that as a child she was called “Le Petit Boudin – the Little Sausage,” due to her weight, which kept her from becoming a ballerina.

“I did a lot of sport and yoga to lose weight,” she said. Eventually, Marine made a name for herself in acting, best known for her role as Nicolette, Princess Isabelle’s handmaiden, in Braveheart. Her other film and television work includes Possession, Comédie d’été, Julie Lescaut, and Paris City Cop.

How did Bob Geldof and Jeanne Marine meet?

Their relationship began in 1996, shortly after Geldof’s divorce. He recalled meeting Marine at a dinner party in Paris organized by mutual friends. He said, “[Some friends] gave me the dinner to help me out and invited Jeanne. ‘He’s on his own; you’re single.’

That was the sort of match-making thing, I guess. She is a really lovely person. She enabled me to take care of my children.” Their bond grew strong over the years, leading to a lasting marriage.
