LONDON: Jemima Goldsmith has found love again, with the British screenwriter and producer said to be engaged to Irish financier Cameron O’Reilly after the pair quietly built a relationship away from intense public attention.
Goldsmith, 52, is preparing to marry 62-year-old O’Reilly, a Dublin-born businessman and investor from one of Ireland’s best-known business families.
The engagement has renewed interest in O’Reilly, whose career has largely unfolded away from celebrity circles despite his prominent family background.
Who is Jemima Goldsmith’s New Love Cameron O’Reilly?
Cameron O’Reilly is the son of the late Sir Anthony O’Reilly, the prominent Irish businessman, media magnate and former international rugby player whose interests included Independent News & Media.
After studying at Oxford, Cameron O’Reilly worked in media before developing a career in private equity, technology and energy infrastructure.

One of his most notable business ventures involved Landis+Gyr, a Switzerland-based smart-metering company. Through Bayard Capital, O’Reilly gained control of the company before it was sold to Toshiba for $2.3 billion in 2011.
The transaction strengthened his reputation as an investor in his own right rather than simply as the son of one of Ireland’s most prominent businessmen.
How Did Jemima Goldsmith Meet Cameron O’Reilly?
The couple met through professional connections in film and documentary circles and have been together for more than a year.
O’Reilly is known for maintaining a low public profile, contrasting with the intense media attention that has accompanied much of Goldsmith’s adult life.
Their relationship also appears to have developed through the professional world Goldsmith has established for herself as a screenwriter and producer.
Jemima Goldsmith’s Marriage to Imran Khan
Goldsmith became internationally known after marrying former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan in 1995 when she was 21.
Their marriage lasted nine years before the couple divorced in 2004. Despite their separation, Goldsmith has remained connected to Khan through their children.
Relationship With Hugh Grant
Following her divorce, Goldsmith entered a high-profile relationship with British actor Hugh Grant.
Their relationship lasted about three years and attracted considerable attention from the British media before they separated amicably in 2007.
Goldsmith was subsequently linked in media reports with several other prominent figures.
In recent years, however, she has increasingly become recognised for her own career in film and television rather than her relationships.
Her production credits include The Clinton Affair and The Case Against Adnan Syed, while she wrote and produced the romantic comedy What’s Love Got to Do with It?
The relationship with O’Reilly therefore represents a markedly different chapter.
Neither Goldsmith nor O’Reilly has publicly detailed their wedding plans.
