In 1985, Yates met [[INXS]] lead singer [[Michael Hutchence]] while interviewing him for [[Channel 4]]'s rock magazine programme ''The Tube''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/relationship-of-michael-hutchence-paula-yates/|title=The star-crossed relationship of Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates|website=Far Out Magazine|last=Satrkey|first=Arun|date=23 March 2022|access-date=14 March 2023}}</ref> During this appearance on ''The Tube'', Yates was reportedly asked to leave Hutchence alone by the road manager of INXS when she walked up to him and said, "I'm going to have that boy [Hutchence]". Yates was unmoved by the manager's request and began to show up at INXS gigs everywhere for the next few years, even taking her young daughter Fifi along.{{sfn|Bozza|2005|p=228}} Yates maintained irregular contact with Hutchence during the intervening nine years and their affair had been under way for some months before their ''Big Breakfast'' interview in October 1994.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.independent.ie/woman/celeb-news/the-passions-of-paula-yates-26332697.html | newspaper=Irish Independent | title=The passions of Paula Yates | access-date=13 March 2023 | archive-date=16 February 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090216155943/http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/news-gossip/the-passions-of-paula-yates-1222585.html | url-status=live }}</ref> 

Geldof and Yates divorced in May 1996. On 22 July 1996, Yates gave birth to a daughter by Hutchence, [[Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof|Tiger Lily]].<ref>{{cite web|work=The Independent|location=Ireland|url=https://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/the-saving-of-geldofs-soul-29105411.html|title=The saving of Geldof's soul|access-date=8 April 2018|date=4 March 2013|archive-date=9 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409171322/https://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/the-saving-of-geldofs-soul-29105411.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On 22 November 1997, Hutchence was found dead in a hotel room in Sydney. The official verdict into his death said that he killed himself by hanging.<ref>{{cite web|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/michael-hutchence-planned-to-leave-paula-yates-before-death-kirk-pengilly-says-20140224-33b75.html|title=Michael Hutchence planned to leave Paula Yates before death, Kirk Pengilly says|date=24 February 2014|access-date=8 April 2018|archive-date=9 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409171422/https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/michael-hutchence-planned-to-leave-paula-yates-before-death-kirk-pengilly-says-20140224-33b75.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Yates wrote in her police statement that Hutchence was "frightened and couldn't stand a minute more without his baby". During their phone conversations on the morning of his suicide, he had said, "I don't know how I'll live without Tiger". Yates also wrote that Geldof had threatened them repeatedly, saying: "Don't forget, I am above the law."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.michaelhutchenceinfo.com/library_section1.htm |title=Michael Hutchence – Official Website – Library – Section 1 |publisher=Michaelhutchenceinfo.com |access-date=25 February 2012 |archive-date=23 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223134555/http://www.michaelhutchenceinfo.com/library_section1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Yates became distraught, refusing to accept the [[coroner]]'s verdict of suicide and insisting that it was a case of [[auto-erotic asphyxiation]].<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/suicide-threats-of-paula-yates-drove-hutchence-to-kill-himself-634539.html | work=The Independent | location=London | title=Suicide threats of Paula Yates 'drove Hutchence to kill himself' | first=Martin | last=Evans | date=31 October 2000 | access-date=22 May 2010 | archive-date=10 August 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810033817/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/suicide-threats-of-paula-yates-drove-hutchence-to-kill-himself-634539.html | url-status=live }}</ref> She eventually sought [[psychiatry|psychiatric]] treatment.

In December 1997, a few weeks after Hutchence's death and while Yates was fighting for custody of her daughter with Hutchence, Yates suffered another blow when a DNA test result confirmed tabloid media reports that Jess Yates, who had died in April 1993, was not her biological father. A [[DNA paternity testing|paternity test]] proved that the talent show host [[Hughie Green]], who had died six months before Hutchence, was her biological father.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hughiegreenmostsincerely |title=Drama – Hughie Green, Most Sincerely |publisher=BBC |access-date=25 February 2012 |archive-date=11 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111143228/http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hughiegreenmostsincerely/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
