Peaches Geldof marries in Vegas

Peaches Geldof has married in Las Vegas, her spokesperson has confirmed.

The 19-year-old wed Max Drummey, drummer in indie band Chester French, while on holiday in the US last week.

The couple met a year ago but became an item after Chester French played last month's iTunes festival, which Geldof co-presented.

Drummey, 23, is a Harvard anthropology graduate from Boston.

Geldof's representative told Heatworld: "Peaches and Max Drummey are delighted to announce their very happy marriage. The couple tied the knot in a simple low-key ceremony in Las Vegas last week.

"Their marriage has the full support of their family and friends. Peaches and Max did not want unnecessary publicity, but following growing media speculation, have decided to set out the facts. No further comment from either will be forthcoming."

Geldof, who was previously rumoured to be dating Horrors singer Faris Rotter, recently played down her alleged drug overdose.
