LONDON: Jemima Goldsmith, the former wife of former Pakistani Prime Minister and cricket legend Imran Khan, has married Irish-Australian businessman and media executive Cameron O’Reilly, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
The report said the couple married over the weekend, with Goldsmith’s brother, Ben Goldsmith, confirming the marriage.
Goldsmith, 52, and O’Reilly, 62, had reportedly been in a relationship for about a year before their engagement became public in May this year.
The couple first met through their work in the film and documentary industry, where O’Reilly was involved as an executive producer. They reportedly became friends before their relationship turned romantic.
People close to the couple have described O’Reilly as a highly private person, while Goldsmith has also sought to keep details of their relationship away from the public eye.
O’Reilly is the son of former rugby star and media businessman Sir Anthony O’Reilly. He has four children from previous relationships, while Goldsmith has two sons, Suleiman and Qasim, with Khan.
Jemima Goldsmith and Imran Khan
Goldsmith married Khan in 1995. The couple divorced in 2004 after nine years of marriage and have two sons together.
Despite their divorce, Goldsmith has continued to speak publicly about Khan and has supported calls for his release since his imprisonment.
Khan has been in prison since 2023 in connection with corruption cases, allegations he denies. His supporters have described the cases as politically motivated.
Goldsmith and her sons have also raised concerns about Khan’s health and prison conditions.
Cameron O’Reilly’s Business Career
O’Reilly studied at Oxford University and spent years working in his family’s media business, Independent News & Media. He later worked with Australian media group APN News & Media before leaving its chief executive position in 2000.
In 2003, he founded private equity firm Beard Capital. He later acquired Swiss metering company Landis+Gyr and served as its chief executive.
The company was sold to Japan’s Toshiba in 2011 for $2.3 billion.
Goldsmith’s second marriage comes about a year after the death of her mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, a prominent figure in London’s social circles. Her father, billionaire businessman Sir James Goldsmith, died in 1997.
