Fifi Geldof has reportedly ended her marriage to Andrew Robertson and is now in a new relationship with actor and model Jon Paul Phillips.
The 43-year-old, the eldest daughter of Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates, has quietly signalled a major life change by reverting to her maiden name on social media — a move widely seen as confirmation that her marriage, which began in 2016, has come to an end.
Recent sightings have only fuelled speculation. Fifi was seen without her wedding ring as she strolled through London’s upscale Knightsbridge with Jon, 46, the pair appearing relaxed and close while walking her dog.
A source revealed that Fifi and Jon are deeply in love, adding that after everything she has endured in her life, it is genuinely heartwarming to see her happy again.
The new romance appears to be moving quickly. Fifi recently celebrated her 43rd birthday with Jon, who treated her to a luxury staycation in a £1,300-per-night apartment. She even shared a glimpse of the getaway on Instagram, writing that it was “a lovely birthday surprise staycation from the even lovelier boyfriend.”
Jon himself comes from an artistic lineage — the grandson of French actress Marika Rivera and great-grandson of renowned painter Marie Vorobieff. Alongside modelling, he has also appeared in indie films including X/Y, Kilimanjaro and Ass Backwards.
Her estranged husband Andrew Robertson, meanwhile, led a colourful life of his own. A sand sculptor and environmental artist, he once appeared on Dragons’ Den, floated political ambitions, and even proposed controversial policies such as legalising drugs and offering universal free services.
Fifi’s personal update comes at an especially emotional time for the Geldof family, who are preparing to mark the 12th anniversary of the tragic death of her sister Peaches, who died of a heroin overdose aged just 25 — echoing the loss of their mother Paula Yates in 2000.
In the wake of those tragedies, Bob Geldof took on the role of guardian to Tiger Lily, Paula’s daughter with Michael Hutchence, raising her away from the spotlight. He has often credited his wife Jeanne Marine for helping hold the family together during its darkest moments.
