Jemima Goldsmith Marries Cameron O’Reilly After 22 Years

Jemima Goldsmith, the British filmmaker, producer and former wife of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister and Cricket captain Imran Khan, has married financier Cameron O’Reilly, marking her second marriage more than two decades after her divorce from Khan.

Goldsmith, 52, married O’Reilly, 62, in a private ceremony over the weekend, with members of her family confirming the news publicly. The wedding brings together two people with backgrounds spanning film, media and finance, while also attracting attention because of Goldsmith’s long public association with Khan and Pakistan.

The marriage was confirmed through a social-media post by Jemima Jones, who is married to Goldsmith’s brother, Ben Goldsmith. Jones shared a photograph of herself and Ben dressed for the occasion and captioned it: “Celebrating Jemima and Cameron’s wedding, with my favourite date, what a happy day!”

The couple themselves have not made a detailed public announcement about the ceremony, and the wedding appears to have been a relatively private family occasion rather than a large public event.

Jemima Goldsmith and Cameron O’Reilly’s relationship

Goldsmith and O’Reilly reportedly met through their professional involvement in film and documentary production. Their relationship became public after they had been dating for more than a year, and reports said the couple became engaged in May 2026.

Their shared professional interests provide a connection between two otherwise different career paths. Goldsmith built a career in journalism, screenwriting and film production, while O’Reilly has worked in investment, business and media before becoming involved in film and documentary projects.

The relationship eventually developed into marriage after more than a year together.

The wedding also represents a new phase in Goldsmith’s personal life after years in which her name remained closely associated with her former marriage to Khan. Her relationship with the former Pakistan prime minister has continued to attract public attention long after their divorce, particularly because they share two sons.

Jemima Goldsmith’s marriage to Imran Khan

Goldsmith married Imran Khan in 1995, when Khan was already internationally known as one of Pakistan’s greatest cricket players and a former captain of the national team.

The couple remained married for around nine years before their divorce in 2004.

They have two sons, Sulaiman and Kasim. Both have maintained a connection with their father despite the geographical distance and the changes in their parents’ lives since the divorce.

Khan later moved from cricket and philanthropy into Politics, eventually becoming Pakistan’s prime minister in 2018. His government remained in office until 2022, when he was removed from power following a vote of no confidence in Parliament.

His subsequent legal troubles and imprisonment have kept him in the international spotlight, meaning that Goldsmith’s family connection to him has remained relevant even years after their marriage ended.

Goldsmith has continued to support Imran Khan

Goldsmith’s remarriage does not mark an end to her public concern about Khan’s situation.

She and her sons have previously spoken publicly about the former prime minister and campaigned for his release. Their involvement has included raising concerns about his Health and his circumstances while imprisoned in Pakistan.

Khan is currently serving time in connection with corruption-related cases, including the Al-Qadir Trust and Toshakhana-II matters. He has denied wrongdoing in the cases against him.

The timing of Goldsmith’s wedding has therefore brought together two very different parts of her public life: her new marriage to O’Reilly and her continuing family connection to Khan through their children.

That connection is particularly notable because Sulaiman and Kasim are now adults who have publicly supported their father while he remains in prison.

Who is Cameron O’Reilly?

Cameron O’Reilly is a 62-year-old Irish-Australian businessman and financier whose career has included private equity, media and corporate leadership.

He is the son of the late Sir Anthony O’Reilly, the prominent Irish businessman, media magnate and former international rugby player. His father built a major business career that included senior roles in publishing and international corporate enterprises.

Cameron O’Reilly studied at the University of Oxford before entering the family’s media business. He later moved toward investment and private equity, establishing a career that extended beyond his father’s newspaper interests.

His most prominent corporate role came at Landis+Gyr, the Swiss company specialising in energy-management and smart-metering technology.

O’Reilly became involved with the company after the Australian investment group Bayard acquired Landis+Gyr in 2004. He later led the company as it expanded its international operations and developed its position in the energy technology market.

Landis+Gyr and the Toshiba deal

Landis+Gyr became particularly significant in O’Reilly’s career because of its eventual acquisition by Japanese technology giant Toshiba.

In 2011, Toshiba announced an agreement to acquire Landis+Gyr in a transaction valued at approximately US$2.3 billion, including net debt. Toshiba completed the acquisition later that year.

Landis+Gyr specialised in smart-metering and energy-management systems used by utilities. Its technology was becoming increasingly important as countries looked to modernise Electricity networks and introduce smarter systems for monitoring and managing energy consumption.

The transaction demonstrated O’Reilly’s experience in taking a technology and Infrastructure business through an international investment and acquisition process.

His career subsequently continued across investment and media-related ventures, providing a professional background that overlaps with Goldsmith’s interests in film and documentary production.

Goldsmith built a career beyond her famous marriage

Although Goldsmith became internationally recognised partly because of her marriage to Khan, her professional career has developed independently over the years.

She has worked as a writer, screenwriter and film producer and has been involved in documentary and feature-film projects.

One of her best-known screenwriting credits came with the 2022 romantic comedy What’s Love Got to Do with It?, a cross-cultural romantic film starring Lily James, Shazad Latif and Emma Thompson.

Her work in film has helped establish a professional identity separate from the political and sporting fame associated with her former husband.

That evolution is important when looking at her second marriage. Goldsmith is no longer simply known as Imran Khan’s former wife. She has spent years developing her own career in the creative industries while maintaining her relationship with her two sons and continuing to speak about issues involving Khan when she believes it is necessary.

A private wedding after years in the public eye

The manner in which the marriage was announced also reflects the relatively private nature of the occasion.

Rather than a detailed announcement from the couple, the news emerged through a family photograph posted online. Jemima Jones’ message confirmed the celebration without providing extensive details about the venue, guest list or ceremony.

Reports indicate that the wedding was an intimate occasion surrounded by family and close friends.

That low-key approach contrasts with the intense public attention surrounding Goldsmith’s first marriage. Her 1995 wedding to Khan was a major international story because of the couple’s very different backgrounds and Khan’s global profile as a cricket star.

More than 30 years later, Goldsmith’s second wedding has generated interest for a different reason: it marks a new personal chapter after a long period in which her family history, career and connection to Pakistan remained subjects of international attention.

Why the marriage is drawing attention in Pakistan

Goldsmith remains a recognisable figure in Pakistan largely because of her relationship with Khan and their children.

Although she and Khan divorced in 2004, their sons have maintained a relationship with their father. Their public comments about Khan’s imprisonment and health have kept Goldsmith’s family connected to developments in Pakistan.

That makes her remarriage more than a conventional celebrity wedding story for Pakistani audiences. It also represents an update in the personal life of someone who was once closely linked to one of the country’s most prominent political figures.

At the same time, the marriage should not be confused with any change in Goldsmith’s position toward Khan. Her new relationship and her role as the mother of Khan’s children are separate aspects of her life.

A second marriage and a different public identity

Goldsmith’s story has changed considerably since her first marriage.

She entered public life partly through her relationship with one of the world’s most famous cricketers, became connected to Pakistan through her family, and later developed a career in film and writing. Her second marriage now connects her to another prominent international business family.

O’Reilly brings his own established background in finance, private equity and media. His career has included the leadership of a major energy-technology company and involvement in a multibillion-dollar corporate transaction.

The two therefore share professional interests in media and film despite coming from different business backgrounds.

For Goldsmith, the wedding represents a personal milestone more than two decades after her first marriage ended. For O’Reilly, it brings together his business and media background with Goldsmith’s career in filmmaking and writing.

What comes next for Jemima Goldsmith

Goldsmith is likely to remain active in film, writing and documentary production, while her family connection to Pakistan will continue through her sons.

Her remarriage does not erase the earlier chapters of her life, but it adds another significant one. Her years with Khan, their two children, her subsequent creative career and her public advocacy have all shaped the identity she has today.

The wedding to Cameron O’Reilly therefore marks a notable transition: more than two decades after her divorce from Imran Khan, Jemima Goldsmith has entered a second marriage with a financier whose own career spans investment, media and technology.

While the ceremony itself was kept largely private, the family confirmation has made the marriage public, drawing attention across Britain, Ireland, Australia and Pakistan. For Goldsmith, however, the significance appears to be more personal than political a new chapter in a life that has already crossed cricket, politics, journalism, film and international business.
