Key points

LONDON: Jemima Goldsmith, the British screenwriter and producer who was previously married to former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan, has reportedly married Irish-Australian financier Cameron O'Reilly. The development has drawn significant attention in Pakistan because of Goldsmith's longstanding public association with the country and her former marriage to one of its most prominent political figures.
The report identifies O'Reilly as a 62-year-old businessman and financier and says Goldsmith's brother has confirmed the marriage. O'Reilly is the son of the late Sir Anthony O'Reilly, the Irish businessman, media executive and former international rugby player. Earlier reports had described the couple as engaged after maintaining a relationship largely outside the public spotlight.
Goldsmith and O'Reilly were reported earlier this year to have met through their professional involvement in films and documentaries. O'Reilly has worked as an executive producer, while Goldsmith has developed a career in film and television production and screenwriting. Their shared involvement in the media and documentary sector was previously cited as the setting in which their relationship developed.
Earlier coverage of the couple said they had been together for more than a year and divided their time between Switzerland and West London. Reports published in May said wedding plans were being considered, although the couple themselves had maintained a relatively private approach to their relationship. The latest development marks a progression from those earlier engagement reports to claims that the marriage has now taken place.
Photographs associated with the latest coverage show an elegant setting and formal attire connected with the reported wedding. However, detailed information about the ceremony, including a complete guest list and other arrangements, has not been widely released. The couple have generally kept personal details away from extensive public disclosure despite the considerable media attention surrounding their relationship.
Goldsmith was married to Imran Khan from 1995 until their divorce in 2004. The former couple have two sons, Sulaiman and Kasim. During her marriage, Goldsmith spent significant time in Pakistan and remained closely associated with the country even after returning to Britain. Her connections to Pakistan have continued to attract public and media interest, particularly because she has occasionally spoken publicly about issues involving her former husband and their family.
O'Reilly has an established career in international finance and investment. He founded Bayard Capital and became closely associated with investments in smart-metering and technology businesses. He has also been involved in film and documentary production, providing a professional link with Goldsmith's work in the entertainment industry.
The reported marriage has quickly become a widely discussed entertainment and human-interest story among Pakistani audiences. Further details are expected to emerge if Goldsmith, O'Reilly or their representatives release a formal statement or additional photographs from the ceremony, but the latest report places the couple's relationship at a new stage after months of speculation surrounding their engagement and wedding plans.
