Jemima Khan marries Cameron O’Reilly at 52

Jemima Khan has married Cameron O’Reilly in an intimate ceremony, ending a quiet year-long romance with the Irish-Australian financier. Jemima Goldsmith was 52, and Cameron O’Reilly was 62.

The wedding was announced by Jemima Jones on Instagram: "Celebrating Jemima and Cameron’s wedding, with my favourite date, what a happy day!" That public note is the clearest sign the marriage has already taken place, even though the report does not give a date or place.

Goldsmith’s new marriage comes more than two decades after her 2004 divorce from Imran Khan, after a nine-year marriage. She had already spoken in January 2023 about arranged marriage, saying: "Frankly speaking personally, [arranged marriage] could have saved me a lot of heartache and headaches if I’d just had someone to sort it out for me."

Pakistan and January 2023

Goldsmith’s earlier comments were shaped by the years she lived in Pakistan with Imran Khan’s family, where she said she saw arranged marriages firsthand. She said some of those marriages were "surprisingly happy and successful... there’s a lot to be said for simmer then boil," and described herself as "someone who did the absolute opposite."

That contrast is now part of the story: Goldsmith once said arranged marriage could have saved her heartache, yet she still chose a marriage that grew from a quiet year-long dating period and a close friendship rather than family matchmaking. For readers tracking her public life, the change is simple and immediate — Goldsmith has entered a new marriage, and the only public confirmation so far came through Instagram.

Imran Khan and the new marriage

The new wedding also resets the timeline around one of Goldsmith’s most followed personal chapters. Her marriage to Imran Khan lasted nine years, and the move to marry O’Reilly at 52 places this relationship in a different phase of her life, one that has drawn notice before through public breakups with Hugh Grant and Russell Brand.

Goldsmith has not put the marriage into a formal public statement, and the report leaves the ceremony itself offstage except for the fact that it was intimate. For now, the key practical point is already public: the marriage happened, the couple are Goldsmith and O’Reilly, and the announcement came from inside the family rather than through a press release.
