Bob Geldof, 68, opens up on 'electrifying' sex life with wife Jeanne Marine, 54

Bob Geldof has opened up about his sex life with wife Jeanne Marine - and claims his wife still "electrifies" him after 25 years together.

Sir Bob, 68, was quite keen to talk about how active the pair are in the bedroom during an interview with Tommy Tiernan on Ireland's RTE.

The singer has been with French actress Jeanne since 1996, although the pair didn't marry until 2015.

During a recent talk show appearance, Bob as quizzed on his sex life and he didn't hold back.

"My curiosity is I'm 50, I want to know what sex is like when you're 68," Tiernan asked the Boomtown Rats rocker.

Bob took a moment to reply, before saying: "That laser-driven [sex] drive of a sixteen-year-old clearly isn't there and as you age it tempers, which you must understand at 50.

"By 68, it doesn't always need chemical assistance, but it f**king helps!"

He continued: "You must be very careful, because the beauty of a long-married wife hides in plain sight. And you must always look to that woman who animates you, so that once again she electrifies you."

Speaking of Jeanne, he gushed: "It's very easy with my missus who I've been with for 25 years, I'm sort of a one-woman geezer."

The strong couple first announced their engagement on May 1 2014, and were later married on April 28 2015.

Their engagement came just weeks after Bob's daughter Peaches died from a heroin overdose at 25.

In the same interview, Bob described the grief of losing his daughter nearly six years ago as "bottomless" and "ever-present".

The musician explained he attended the funeral of a friend's son recently which caused him to reflect on Peaches' tragic death.

He recalled: "Last week I went to the funeral of my mate's son, and he didn't want me to come for fear that I'd relive it but I had to be there for him cause it is unbearable. Time doesn't heal, time accommodates, it's ever-present."

"You're driving along and you're at the traffic lights and for no reason whatsoever the person in question inhabits you," Bob added.

"And I'll cry and then I'll look around to make sure the people around don't see me or are posting a photo or whatever - but that happens and that happens to everyone.

"You just do it, you cry to the maximum and then you go, the grief is bottomless and intimate. I didn't understand why I lost everything I thought to be true."
