Michael Hutchence's daughter Tiger Lily has been quietly dating British model Ben Archer since June last year.

According to the magazine, the pair were “inseparable” and celebrated Christmas and ringed in the New Year together.

“His family adores her and she loves that they are so normal compared to hers,” a source told the magazine.

According to the insider, Ben has “completely swept her off her feet” and is “everything she wants in a man.”

The couple are said to have recently taken the next step in their relationship after Tiger Ben flew to Perth to meet her family.

“Ben has completely disarmed her and for the first time she can see a future of weddings, babies and something she never had: a family… Bringing him to Perth was a big step,” the insider added.

Tiger was previously romantically involved with Australian musician Nick Allbrook, but the pair called it quits after six years in April last year.

According to reports from 2020, Tiger Lily and her former partner got engaged after spotting a ring on her wedding finger.

In 1997, when Tiger was just 16 months old, her father Michael committed suicide in a Sydney hotel room at the age of 37.

Her mother Paula overdosed on heroin less than three years later at her home in Notting Hill, London. She was 41.

Tiger was last seen on stage in Perth at two different locations in 2020, singing and playing piano with a guitarist.

Her life is a paradise of surfing, meditation and yoga – a world away from the gritty celebrity scene her late parents enjoyed.

Last year, Paula Yates' legacy was once again thrust into the spotlight in the wake of a two-part documentary that aired on Britain's Channel 4.

The documentary is said to have opened old wounds for Tiger, who was only four and was alone in the house with her mother when she found Paula dead.

Tiger raised the alarm when Paula's friend called, telling her she “couldn't wake mommy up.”

After the death of her parents, Tiger was raised by her mother's ex-husband, Sir Bob Geldof, along with her three older half-sisters Fifi, Peaches and Pixie.
