Biography |
Jemima Khan is an English socialite. Khan is best known as
the former girlfriend of British film star Hugh Grant and as
the ex-wife of Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, with whom she
had two sons in the 1990s. She is the daughter of Lady
Annabel and James Goldsmith.
Khan is the eldest child of Lady Annabel
Vane-Tempest-Stewart and Anglo-French financier James
Goldsmith. Her parents started a polyamorous relationship in
1964 while they were married to different partners, but in
1978, the two married for the sole purpose of legitimizing
their children. She has two younger brothers, Zac, husband
of Sheherazade Goldsmith, and Ben, as well as five paternal
and three maternal half-siblings, including Robin and India
Jane Birley. She has two sons, Sulaiman Isa (born 1996) and
Kasim (born 1999), and because she wants to have the same
last name as her children, she currently goes by Jemima
Khan.
Khan grew up at Ormeley Lodge while attending the Old
Vicarage preparatory school and Francis Holland School.
Between the ages of ten and seventeen she was an
accomplished equestrian in London. Khan enrolled at the
University of Bristol in 1993 and dropped out to get married
in 1995, but eventually submitted her dissertation in March
2002 for a class 2:1 bachelor's degree in English. She later
completed an MA in Middle Eastern Studies at SOAS,
University of London, majoring in Modern Trends in Islam. |
