Here’s everything we know so far about Lily Allen’s rumoured new boyfriend, from who Jonah Freud is to how their connection began and why fans are so intrigued by the pairing...
How long have Lily Allen and boyfriend Jonah Freud been dating?
Lily and Jonah were first publicly linked in December 2025 when they appeared at her festive holiday party in London, hosted at Stringfellows club.

Who is Lily Allen's boyfriend Jonah Freud?
Based in London, Jonah Freud is a writer and artist with connections to some of the UK’s most influential circles.
He is the son of Matthew Freud, the British public relations executive behind Freud Communications, one of the UK’s major PR firms.
His mother is Caroline Hutton, and his extended family includes notable figures in the arts and media, all of which has placed him in a uniquely connected creative circle from a young age.
Perhaps most famously, Jonah’s great‑great‑grandfather was the pioneering psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
What does Jonah Freud do for a living?
Despite his prominent family background, Jonah has carved out his own path, keeping a deliberately private life with limited social media exposure and only occasional public appearances.
He is the founder of Reference Point, a hybrid bookstore, library and arts space in London that combines rare books, curated collections and a social hub for creatives.
According to interviews he’s given about his work, Jonah has also contributed writing to collaborative projects exploring themes like grief and mental health.
Over the past year, he’s been spotted at cultural events such as museum dinners, fashion shows and exhibitions — a hint at his connection to London's social scene while still maintaining a relatively low public profile.
