The 25-year-old musician, father to Peaches' sons Astala, 3, and Phaedra, 2, has been pictured hugging sister Tiger, 19, while on holiday in the South of France.
A family friend told The Mirror that Tiger and Cohen are close like "like brother and sister".
Cohen was with the Geldofs to celebrate the marriage of Tiger's adoptive dad, Bob, 63, to French actress Jeanne Marine.
Peaches and Tiger Lily's half-sisters Fifi, 31, and Pixie, 24, were also spotted enjoying the French sunshine.
"With everything that has gone on with the Geldof family over the last few years and the various tragedies, the end result has been that it has brought everyone very much closer together," the friend said.
"Tiger Lily and Tom have become great mates and both keep an eye out for each other, as do the rest of Peaches' family.
"They're a very tactile family and emotions have been running high as Bob has got remarried, which has been such a wonderful and poignant occasion."
Tiger, daughter to Bob Geldof's ex-wife Paula Yates and INXS singer Michael Hutchence, also brought her new boyfriend, British student Charlie Creseatian, along for the trip.
The pair reportedly met through mutual friends in July and have been tight ever since.
Tiger was 16 months old when Hutchence was found dead in 1997. A heartbroken Yates soon fell into addiction and, when Tiger was four, died from an accidental heroin overdose.
Following Yates' death, Bob took custody of Tiger and later formally adopted her.
Her 25-year-old half-sister Peaches was found dead inside her home in Kent in April 2014.
A formal investigation following her death resulted in no arrests and has now been officially closed.
