Tiger Lily Hutchence and rocker boyfriend Nick Allbrook spark engagement rumours

Tiger Lily Hutchence, 23, daughter of the late rockstar Michael Hutchence, and her boyfriend Nick Allbrook, 32, have sparked rumours they’re secretly engaged. 

The couple, who live together in Fremantle, Perth, sent the rumour mill into overdrive earlier this month after their housemate India Rose uploaded a romantic photo of them kissing. 

India captioned the black-and-white image – which showed Tiger Lily passionately embracing her one-time Tame Impala rocker beau inside a doorway – ‘Yay for love!’

Famously private Tiger Lily (full name Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily) commented on the photo, ‘Whoop!’, while Michael’s step-mother Susan Hutchence added: ‘So romantic [love-heart emojis]. 

Speaking to Woman’s Day magazine on Monday, a ‘source close to the Hutchence family’ claimed Tiger Lily is ‘excited to spend her life’ with Pond frontman Nick.    

‘Tiger and Nick have spoken of their commitment to each other, and in their own way, they are engaged,’ they claimed.  

‘They’re both free spirited youngsters and I can see them saying vows to each other, but not being husband and wife within the bounds of the normal institution of marriage.’ 

The news comes months after Tiger Lily released a digital album titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown via music-sharing platform Bandcamp.  

Tiger also published a short blurb about the inspiration behind her album.  

‘A little tape recording I made while in Walyalup/Fremantle. It’s many different versions of a few songs and recordings of our big beautiful ocean!’ she wrote on her Bandcamp album page. 

‘Wish I could upload as one long dream but it won’t work. Part 2 is the banger!’ she added.  

In 1997, when Tiger Lily was 16 months old, her father, the lead singer of INXS, killed himself in a Sydney hotel room.

Less than three years later, her mother Paula Yates was found dead at her home in West London.

Tiger Lily was raised by her mother’s ex-husband, Sir Bob Geldof, along with her three older sisters, Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie.

Tragically, in 2014, Peaches died of a heroin overdose.

Tiger graduated from university in July last year, with half-sisters Fifi and Pixie Geldof joining her during a ceremony at Goldsmiths, University of London.
