Who is Lily Allen’s New Romance, Jonah Freud – Who's Related to Sigmund Freud?

Lily Allen’s Christmas party on Friday delivered a moment that quickly travelled through London’s social circles: a kiss shared with Jonah Freud. The gesture was brief but unmistakable, confirming weeks of quiet speculation following a series of joint appearances across west London.

The news comes after the release of Allen's critically acclaimed album, West End Girl, following her split from Stranger Things star David Harbour. So who is her new fling?

The Sightings

The kiss followed several recent outings. Last month, Allen and Freud were spotted dining together at Dorian in Notting Hill, a favourite among editors, creatives and industry insiders.

Neither has commented publicly, but the increasing visibility — capped by the Christmas party moment — has made the relationship difficult to overlook.

So, Who Is Jonah Freud?

Jonah Freud, 28, is a writer and artist based in London, with a background firmly rooted in the city’s literary and cultural scene. He is the son of Matthew Freud, founder of Freud Communications, one of the UK’s most influential public relations firms, and a great-great-grandson of Sigmund Freud.

The wider Freud family includes prominent figures across broadcasting, literature and the arts, but Jonah has maintained a deliberately low profile, carving out a career defined more by ideas than by publicity.

Career and Creative Work

Freud has contributed writing to independent cultural publications and is a co-founder of Reference Point, a hybrid library and cultural space dedicated to books, research and discussion.

His work places him firmly within London’s contemporary art and literary communities rather than the entertainment industry, and he is known for keeping his professional and personal lives separate.

Family Background

As the son of one of Britain’s most connected media figures, Freud grew up adjacent to — but not within — the spotlight. His extended family includes broadcaster Emma Freud and novelist Esther Freud, situating him within one of the UK’s most prominent creative dynasties.

Why the Pairing Makes Sense

Allen, recently divorced and newly settled back into London life, has spent the past year focusing on music, motherhood and rebuilding on her own terms. Freud’s quieter, intellectually driven world offers a contrast to her high-profile career — one that feels complementary rather than oppositional.

For now, the relationship appears relaxed and unannounced, revealed not through statements but through shared time and public appearances.
