Fame and celebrity

Jonah comes from an influential family indeed: his mother was once married to Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, and his father is an Oscar-winning producer

Does Lily Allen have a new man in her life? Just last year the singer released the scathing tell-all album West End Girl after a messy and public separation with Stranger Things actor David Harbour. The former couple had been married for four years before splitting in 2025. Many of the tracks in Allen’s hit album hint that the break-up was due to Harbour’s infidelity.
Since then, it seems that the “Pussy Palace” singer, 40, has happily moved on with new boyfriend Jonah Freud, 28. The pair were recently spotted shopping in Paris and stopping for a chat with Austin Butler – all three were in town for Paris Couture Week.

Here’s everything to know about Lily Allen’s new boyfriend, Jonah Freud.

Does the name Freud sound familiar?

Jonah Freud is a London-based writer and artist – and if you think his last name sounds familiar, it’s because his great-great-grandfather is none other than the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, known for his controversial theories.

The 28-year-old also founded Reference Point, a bookstore and bar in London, per Harper’s Bazaar.

Jonah’s PR executive father, Matthew Freud, is an Oscar-winning producer whose 2022 animated short film The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse received the best animated short film award the following year. He is also the founder of Freud Communications, a PR firm based in the UK.

Jonah’s mother is Caroline Hutton, a public relations specialist who was previously married to Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, from 2001 to 2007. Matthew and Hutton were married from 1991 to 2000 and share sons George and Jonah Freud.

Aside from his well-connected parents, Jonah’s other famous relatives include his actress grandmother Jill Freud and painter great-uncle Lucian Freud.
