Newlywed Peaches Geldof takes a bite out of the Big Apple after landing a place at New York University

Updated 14:50pm on 28 Aug 2008



Peaches Geldof has her father Bob's blessing to start her new life in America  -  and has already landed a place at New York University and a job at a pop culture magazine.

The 19-year-old socialite actually looks like she might be ready to settle into some kind of normality after her quickie wedding to U.S. rocker Max Drummey earlier this month.

One of the driving forces behind Peaches' shock wedding was her desire to quit the UK for a life in America.

Peaches Geldof and Max Drummey arrive at JFK airport in New York City to statr their honeymoon. The two were married in Las Vegas on 5th August 2008.

A source said: 'She is doing everything she can to move away from how she is perceived in London.

'The truth is that Max offered her a way out of it all. She was offered stability and a move away from the negative press she was receiving in the UK.

'Now, Peaches is planning a move to New York and is starting over with a place at NYU and a new job at Nylon magazine.'

Earlier this month, Peaches caused a sensation when she married unknown indie musician Max, 23, in a Las Vegas chapel following a four-week whirlwind romance.

But now, opting for a calmer existence with her new beau, Peaches is to study English at the New York University and is to join the team at the American magazine, which focuses on pop culture, fashion and celebrity.

Our source added: "She wasn't too sure about New York at first but her father persuaded her and so she signed up at the university and was offered a job.

'She now has her father's blessing with Max, which is a weight off her mind. Bob wants her to have structure and a routine.

'We hope her new life across the pond works out.'

After a brief sojourn home to London and then onto to Majorca following her wedding on August 5th, Peaches flew back to the U.S. with her new spouse on Sunday.

It looked like Peaches had already begun the moving process after dutiful husband Max was spotted wheeling her numerous bags through New York's JFK Airport.

Thankfully she seems to be following her mothers example on a much shorter timescale.

I'm glad she has a "desire" to quit the UK because for a long time now, I have had a "desire" that she should go somewhere very, very far away where we don't have to hear about her or her sister anymore. No wonder Sir Bob gave her his blessing to leave. Whats the betting though that if it doesn't work out for her there, that she will be right back here in a few months time? I mean frankly, what New Yorker will even know who she is?

Good to see someone making a commitment instead of shacking up with different people every Saturday night like most 18 year olds.
