Siblings :
- Fifi’s childhood was difficult, as she spent it watching her parents split up, fight over her and her sisters for custody, and battle with drugs.
- After going to live with her father, she became very protective of younger sisters Peaches and Pixie but was too close in age to them to truly be able to enact any sense of authority.

- Like her mother, Peaches also passed due to a drug overdose in 2014.
- After Fifi’s mom’s death, her final daughter, Tiger Lily, also came to live with them.
- With the age gap of 13 years, Geldof quickly took Tiger Lily under her wing and took charge of her well-being, even insisting they share a room until Tiger got older.
