Michael Hutchence’s daughter Tiger Lily and her new model boyfriend Ben Archer showed off their love interest as they celebrated New Year’s Eve in Perth earlier this month.
Tiger Lily, 27, and the aspiring filmmaker, 26, who have been quietly dating since June last year, packed on the PDA as they prepared to ring in 2024 together.
The brunette left little to the imagination in a black sheer dress and cardigan as she shared a passionate kiss with her boyfriend before they joined friends to celebrate.
British model Ben wore light blue jeans, a button-up shirt and a pair of black boots for the occasion.
The couple were all smiles as they walked hand in hand to the party in Fremantle.

They were later seen holding several bottles of alcohol as they walked down the street, with Ben wearing a white shirt after taking off his shirt.
According to women’s Day magazine Tiger Lily and Ben were ‘inseparable’ and also celebrated Christmas together.
“His family adores her and she loves that they are so normal compared to hers,” a source told the publication last week.
‘Things are getting very serious between them. Everyone is expecting an engagement announcement any day now.”
In July, Tiger Lily made her feelings clear when she declared “I love you” in a sweet birthday post Ben made for her on Instagram.

In another photo, Tiger Lily left flirty comments under his modeling photos.
‘Fit. I love you naked,” she wrote, to which he cheekily replied, “Kissing me?”.
Tiger Lily then quickly replied: ‘Yes!’.
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 Lily flew Ben 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 Lily 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.
Tiger Lily was just 16 months old when her father Michael committed suicide in a Sydney hotel room in 1997 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.
The devastating circumstances that left Tiger Lily an orphan led to Paula’s ex-husband Bob Geldof to intervene.
He adopted Tiger Lily and raised her as his daughter alongside his three daughters from his marriage to Paula; Peaches, who sadly passed away in 2014, Pixie and Fifi Trixibelle.

Tiger Lily was last seen on stage in Perth in 2020 at two different locations, 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.
Born Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, she was always known as Tiger Lily, but nowadays she prefers to use the name Heavenly.
Filmmaker Richard Lowenstein, who met Tiger Lily in 2019, claims the only thing she inherited from her rock star father Michael Hutchence was an old guitar.
‘The one thing I think she’s quite disturbed about is that there doesn’t seem to be any legal or even financial recognition that she is her father’s daughter. The whole estate is gone,” he said.

“I said to her, ‘Maybe it’ll still come to you when you’re 25,’ but she just stopped laughing and said she’d stop that now. It literally disappeared.”
Hutchence’s estate and his trust were controlled by his former lawyer, and Tiger Lily’s godfather, Colin Diamond, who said Hutchence’s wealth was “eaten up by parties, gifts and huge legal bills”, meaning he died penniless.
Lowenstein added: ‘She met (him) and he handed her an envelope with £500 (AUD$900) in it and said, “Here you go, that will help you.” I think Bob shook his head in horror and they both just walked out.”
Lowenstein said he was happy that he was able to give her an acoustic guitar that had belonged to her father, which made her “incredibly excited.”
