Tiger Lily Hutchence has confirmed her split from long-time boyfriend Nick Allbrook.
In a post to Bandcamp discussing her latest music release, Hutchence confirmed the couple have parted ways.
โI made this cassette in the living room of our house in Fremantle, a seaside town in Western Australia. I had always been shy to sing with others but moving across the world and my ex-boyfriend Nick had given me some braveryโ, she said.
This announcement comes almost two-years after an exclusive source to Womanโs Day confirmed the news of Hutchenceโs engagement to Allbrook after unearthing pictures that displayed a stunning diamond on her ring finger as she posed with her friend and fellow musician Scarlett Stevens at a party.
Hutchence moved to Fremantle to be with Perth-born and raised Nick, 35 โ frontman of psychedelic rock band Pond and former member of Tame Impala โ after they began dating in 2017.

The couple began dating in 2017.
(Image: Instagram)The split comes as a surprise to many, with sources reporting in 2020 that โTiger is head over heels for Nick, she knew pretty much straightaway that he was The One.โ
โTheyโre so good together and she feels very spiritually connected to their new home in WA. She is truly happy. When they got together, people found it interesting that she dated a muso like her dad, but thatโs where the similarities between Nick and Michael end. He is a very low-key sort of bloke and they live a normal life in Fremantle. Itโs all about their music, the ocean and each otherโ, the source added.
Before moving to her dadโs homeland, the dual Aussie and British citizen was raised by her mumโs ex, singer Sir Bob Geldof, and her older sisters in London, where Michael and Paula conducted most of their tragic love affair that ended when the INXS star died in 1997.

Tiger (R), pictured with a friend, flashed her engagement ring.
(Image: Instagram)Paula, a Welsh TV presenter, passed away three years later of a heroin overdose, leaving behind then four-year-old Tiger, along with the daughters she shared with Bob โ Fifi, 40, Pixie, 32, and the late Peaches.
Like her mum, middle daughter Peaches also died of a heroin overdose at the age of 25 in 2014.
โTiger doesnโt miss England, where the reminders of her parentsโ deaths and the loss of her sister were constantly in her face,โ said a source.
โIn Perth and with Nick, she has been able to lead a relatively normal life and escape the sadness. Thatโs not to say she doesnโt miss Bob and the girls โ they are close and talk all the time. Sheโs likely going to wait until the restrictions are lifted so they can be at her wedding.โ

โBob thinks of Tiger as his own daughter and has offered anything she wants, but Tiger wants to keep it simple,โ said a source.
โSheโll be happy with vows at sunset on South Beach [Fremantle] and then a few beers with friends and family.โ

Itโs believed the 25-year-old would have pay tribute to her late parents, Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence, in her wedding vows.
(Image: Getty)An insider added that Tiger Lily would have โno doubtโ kept Michael and Paula front of mind as she says her vows.
โShe will probably pay tribute to her mum and dad in some way โ most likely in the music. Sheโs toying with the idea of having one of their many musician friends play an acoustic version of one of his songs.
โOne of her favourites is Not Enough Time โ which is especially fitting given the INXS album art for that song is of a wedding. But sheโs not getting too caught up in wedding plans just yet, given how COVID is affecting border closures. Sheโs just enjoying every second of being engaged to Nickโ, said a source.
