When she splashed out £15million on an Oxfordshire pile three months ago, it seemed certain that Jemima Khan was planning to settle down with her long-term love, literary agent Luke Janklow.
However, the millionairess writer and campaigner has in fact split from the equally wealthy Mr Janklow and is now dating Oscar-winning filmmaker John Battsek, 47.
Miss Khan, 37, made her public debut with Mr Battsek at the glossy Ark ball, attended by Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
A source close to New York-based Mr Janklow, 42, said that Miss Khan’s fear of flying had put a toll on their relationship.
Ten years ago Miss Khan was on board a flight to Kenya that was knocked off course, diving thousands of feet, after a passenger tried to seize control.
At the time, her mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith said: 'Jemima was frightened of flying even before the incident, she’s petrified now.'
Yesterday, it was reported that Jemima had taken a fear-of-flying class at Gatwick Airport after being forced to take anti-anxiety drug Xanax every time she flew.
A friend said: ‘Luke was having to fly over to London all the time to see Jemima. They got on well, but it made life very difficult for both of them. Jemima just could not cope with flying to New York.’
Miss Khan, who has two sons, Sulaiman, 14, and Kasim, 12, with her ex-husband, former Pakistan cricket star Imran Khan, was in a three-year romance with actor Hugh Grant.
She had been seeing Mr Janklow — dubbed the ‘hottest straight man in publishing’ — since 2009. In January, they were seen looking in jewellers on London’s Bond Street, prompting rumours of an engagement.
However, she is now believed to be ‘extremely happy’ with Mr Battsek, who won an Oscar for his documentary One Day In September, about the tragic events at the 1972 Olympics.
The pair are said to have met through Jemima’s brother, financier Ben Goldsmith, as Mr Battsek co-produced his film, Fire In Babylon, the tale of the West Indies cricket team of 1974-84.
Battsek was most recently linked to actress Lisa Edelstein, who stars in House with Hugh Laurie.
A friend of Jemima’s confirms she and Battsek are dating.
