Jemima Goldsmith begins new chapter with Cameron O’Reilly

Jemima Goldsmith has married multi-millionaire financier Cameron O’Reilly, with members of her family celebrating the couple’s wedding on social media.

The award-winning British producer and screenwriter, 52, tied the knot with the 62-year-old Irish-Australian businessman following a relationship that had largely remained away from the public eye.

News of the marriage was shared through a family Instagram post by Jemima Jones, who is married to Jemima’s brother Ben Goldsmith. Jones posted a photograph of herself and Ben dressed elegantly for the special occasion.

“Celebrating Jemima and Cameron’s wedding, with my favourite date, what a happy day!” she wrote alongside the picture.

Although Jemima and Cameron were not pictured in the post, the message confirmed that the family had gathered to celebrate their wedding.

A glimpse inside Jemima’s wedding celebrations

The photograph shared by Jemima Jones offered a glimpse of the elegant setting where the celebrations took place.

Jones and Ben posed beside a lily pond in the grounds of a grand stone building. The picturesque surroundings featured carefully maintained lawns and formal gardens, creating a sophisticated backdrop for the family occasion.

Jones looked elegant in a flowing pale-blue dress decorated with a colourful botanical pattern and finished with contrasting blue trim. Ben complemented her look in a traditional dark morning coat, pale-grey waistcoat and striped trousers.

The couple smiled as they posed with their arms around one another, appearing to enjoy the celebrations.

The post quickly attracted congratulatory messages from followers, who welcomed the news of Jemima’s new chapter. One commenter congratulated the newlyweds and wished them happiness for the future.

Further details about the ceremony, including the exact location and guest list, have not been publicly revealed.

Who is Cameron O’Reilly?

Cameron O’Reilly comes from a prominent Irish business family. He is the son of the late Sir Anthony O’Reilly, a former Irish international rugby player and influential media businessman.

Cameron studied at Oxford before beginning his professional career within his family’s media businesses. He worked with Independent News & Media and Australian publisher APN News & Media before later moving into the private equity sector.

He eventually became involved with Swiss metering company Landis+Gyr, where he served as chief executive. The company was later acquired by Toshiba in a deal reportedly worth around $2.3 billion in 2011.

Reports about Cameron and Jemima’s engagement first emerged in May, after the couple had reportedly been together privately for some time.

Cameron is a father of four children, while Jemima has two sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, from her previous marriage.

Jemima’s first marriage to Imran Khan

Jemima’s latest marriage comes more than two decades after her first marriage to former Pakistan cricket captain and prime minister Imran Khan.

The couple married in 1995 and remained together for nine years before announcing their divorce in 2004. Following their separation, Jemima returned to Britain with their children.

Despite ending their marriage, Jemima and Imran have remained on relatively good terms and continued to share a connection through their sons.

Jemima has also continued to speak publicly about issues concerning her former husband and their family.

In recent years, she and her sons have expressed concerns about Imran’s imprisonment in Pakistan and have called for his release. Imran has remained in custody since August 2023 while facing several legal cases, which he and his supporters have described as politically motivated.

His sons have also publicly raised concerns about his health and their ability to visit him.

Family celebrations after Lady Annabel’s death

The wedding marks a happier moment for the Goldsmith family following the death of Jemima’s mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, almost a year earlier.

Lady Annabel was a well-known British socialite and the namesake of London’s famous Annabel’s nightclub. Jemima’s father, businessman Sir James Goldsmith, died in 1997.

Jemima’s family is understood to have welcomed Cameron into their circle. Her brother Robin Birley and other relatives have reportedly spent time getting to know him.

The Instagram post from Ben and Jemima Jones therefore offered one of the first public reactions from the family following the couple’s marriage.

Jemima’s career and achievements

Away from her personal life, Jemima has established herself as a successful producer and screenwriter.

She has worked on television and film projects in both Britain and the United States and has spoken openly about the challenges involved in building a career in entertainment.

In a 2023 interview, Jemima described her children as her greatest personal achievement. She said she was particularly proud of the people her sons had become.

She also spoke about the importance of raising them with strong values, noting that they had a sister who provided an important feminist influence in their lives.

Professionally, Jemima said she was especially proud of challenging herself as a writer. Having produced numerous television and film projects, she explained that writing a film represented a different level of difficulty and personal achievement.

With her marriage to Cameron O’Reilly now confirmed, Jemima appears to be entering another important chapter in her personal life, surrounded by family and loved ones.
