Paula Yates has split up with the former heroin addict she took as a live-in lover, hoping to avoid a custody battle over Tiger Lily - the daughter she had with the late INXS singer Michael Hutchence.
Her decision to end the six-week relationship with Kingsley O'Keke follows the threat by Hutchence's father, Kel, to seek temporary custody of the two-year-old girl because of his concerns that she could be exposed to a
drug environment.
British social services were also said to be worried about the situation.
