Peaches Geldof has divorced her husband Max Drummy, after their whirlwind romance lasted all of 6 months. Reports claim that Peaches feels the divorce has helped her get closer to her dad, Bob Geldof,

The marriage itself was a publicity stunt for the couple who wanted to raise their profiles in the public eye, but after 6 months they decided to call it a day. Estranged hubby Max confirmed it was simply a PR exercise.

The couple released a joint statement about the split, quoting:

“After much soul-searching we have made the mutual decision to end our marriage and have agreed to go our separate ways.

“Our parting is amicable and both of us still respect and care about each other immensely. There were no other people involved in this decision and we both look forward to a future as good friends.”

Peaches said soon after the wedding that she didn’t expect it to last forever. The couple a reported to have only been dating for about a month before they got hitched.
