Despite his initial anger the 56-year-old has performed an about turn and has now given his blessing to her marriage to US musician Max Drummey, 23.
He and Peaches have spent an uneasy week together on holiday in Majorca with Bob repeatedly quizzing his daughter over her marriage to the guitarist two weeks ago.
At first he was furious having only learned she was tying the knot with her boyfriend of four weeks just 15 minutes before the ceremony took place.
Calm on the home front: Peaches Geldof, right, and older sister Pixie last night in Majorca, where father Sir Bob has given his reluctant approval to her wedding
But the pair finally buried the hatchet over dinner on Tuesday night ahead of his daughter’s return to the UK to see her husband.
The 19-year-old has convinced her father that the marriage is for real and even hit the local village of Deia, proudly showing-off her wedding ring during their evening out.
He has now told his daughter that he is willing to fully support her and called on her sister Pixie, 17, to do the same after she too admitted she had been left shocked by the news.
It marks an huge turning point in their relationship as Miss Geldof has spent virtually all her time holed-up in the family’s mansion since arriving on the Spanish island last Thursday, while Bob has been regularly visiting the beach and the local bar in the evenings.
On the one occasion she did venture out to meet friends, she didn‘t even acknowledge her father who was sitting drinking with friends in the same bar.
They failed to exchange a word to one another after he initially warned his daughter to stay at home and out of trouble, fearing that a trip to the local bar would attract unwanted attention.

Peaches is now preparing to fly home on Friday to see her new husband for the first time since they wed in a quickie ceremony two weeks ago.
American-born Drummey has spent the last three days performing in the UK with his band Chester French and comes to London to play at the Astoria in Charing Cross on Saturday.
He then has a four-day break in his schedule before flying back to the US early next week.
Plans for a honeymoon are currently on hold say friends but the couple are expected to spend several days together before he flies back to Los Angeles on Wednesday.
A source said last night: 'Peaches will be delighted that she now has the backing of her father and is looking forward to getting back and seeing Max.
'Bob is incredibly protective of his daughters and only wants the best for them.
'What she needs now is support and not be isolated. Thankfully she has that from her sister and father. She doesn’t need people telling her that what she has done is wrong.'
'The wedding is for real and he understands that now that Peaches has had a chance to explain properly.

Going on holiday together has probably been the best thing for everyone and really helped clear the air.'
There was certainly no sign of any tension between the group on Tuesday night.
They chatted happily to one another as they visited a local tapas bar for dinner in Deia, just a mile down the road from their hillside mansion.
They stayed for an hour and a half, with Peaches looking happy and relaxed dressed in a red summer frock.
Her sister Pixie joined the pair again looking stunning in a pair of hotpants and nautical-style t-shirt.
The two girls then went for a drink together in Sa Fonda’s bar, chatting happily to one anther as they marched inside.
An onlooker in Xelini’s tapas restaurant where the group dined together said: 'They all looked very happy and chatted away together.
'They looked very relaxed in each other’s company and certainly had lots to talk about. They looked like any other family on holiday.'
