Jemima Goldsmith was born to a wealthy London tycoon and his mistress on January 30, 1974. Her father, Sir James Goldsmith, brought Jemima up in the height of luxury, raising her as a true aristocrat. Jemima seemed suited to the lifestyle that she was born into, and from a young age, she demonstrated a natural talent for horsemanship. But the girl shunned the equestrian life and chose academia instead, enrolling in Bristol University's prestigious English literature program. Jemima's studies further fueled her innate curiosity about the world, and her interests soon shifted to religious matters, specifically Islam and its clear messages about life on Earth.

She comes from a wealthy family. At first her parents weren't married, but after their second child was born in 1975 they got married. She attended Francis Holland School Clarence Gate and Bristol University.

In 1995 she met her future husband, Imran Khan, in a nightclub. She converted to Islam and in May they got married in London. Suleiman is their first son and was born in 1997. After two years their second child, Qasim was born. Living in Pakistan, she started several business such a as brand of tomato ketchup and the "Jemima Khan" fashion label. The community in Pakistan didn't want her there and she appeared in newspapers all the time, this causing damage to her marriage. Another bomb for her marriage came when it was said that her husband had a child with Sita White. He denied everything. In 2003 she went to the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London to get a Master's degree. In June 2004 it was announced that she had divorced. She had a relationship with famous actor Hugh Grant until February 2007.
