A Surprise Engagement for the ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It?’ Writer
British screenwriter and film producer Jemima Goldsmith is reportedly preparing to walk down the aisle for the second time. As of May 3, 2026, reports from The Mail on Sunday and other outlets indicate that the 52-year-old icon has said “yes” to Cameron O’Reilly, a prominent Dublin-born financier
The couple has been dating for roughly 12 months, reportedly bonding over their shared passion for documentary filmmaking and media production. While Goldsmith is a global public figure, O’Reilly is known for being intensely private—a trait sources say Jemima is “determined to protect” as they plan their future together.
Who is Cameron O’Reilly?
The 62-year-old groom-to-be is a multi-millionaire investor with a prestigious international background:
Family Heritage: He is the son of the late Sir Anthony O’Reilly, the legendary Irish rugby union player and former billionaire CEO of Heinz.
Business Success: An Irish-Australian businessman, Cameron has led major media groups and founded Bayard Capital. He is notably recognized for his involvement in the multi-billion dollar sale of Swiss metering company Landis+Gyr to Toshiba.
The Approval: The relationship has moved quickly with the full blessing of Jemima’s family; her brother, Robin Birley, has already met O’Reilly and reportedly supports the union.

Jemima Goldsmith’s High-Profile History and Career
This marks a significant personal milestone for Goldsmith, coming just months after the passing of her mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, in late 2024. This will be her first marriage since her high-profile union with legendary cricketer and former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan.
The Khan Era: Married from 1995 to 2004, the pair share two adult sons, Kasim and Sulaiman. Despite the divorce, Jemima has remained a vocal supporter of Khan during his recent legal and political challenges.
Professional Success: In 2022, she wrote and produced the hit rom-com What’s Love Got to Do with It? starring Lily James and Emma Thompson. The film explored the complexities of modern “assisted” marriages—themes that continue to resonate as she prepares for her own upcoming nuptials.
