Peaches Geldof, who started her media career in her mid-teens writing for various U.K. publications, leaves behind a husband, musician Thomas Cohen, and two very young children.

“My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons, and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day,” Cohen said in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone. The couple’s children are Astala, 1, and Phaedra, who’ll be 1 in three weeks. Cohen and Geldof married in 2012. She’d previously been married to singer Matt Drummey.
