Claim: A video and an image depict film producer Jemima Goldsmith being affectionate with an unidentified man, as well as her new husband, Cameron O’Reilly. A third photo shows Imran Khan’s sons, Kasim and Sulaiman Isa Khan, leading O’Reilly on a horse.
Fact: The visuals are manipulated and two of them were particularly generated using artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
In August and September 2026, a video and an image went viral showing Jemima Goldsmith, a film producer and the wife of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan, with different men.
The selfie-style video depicts Goldsmith — professionally known as Jemima Khan — kissing an unidentified man, while the image shows her kissing Cameron O’Reilly, the Irish-Australian financier whom she married on 12 September 2026.
Captions accompanying the posts sarcastically term Goldsmith “the embodiment of loyalty”, with the insinuation that she betrayed Khan while he is “ruined and in tatters”, and call upon “youthiyas” to defend her actions.
“Youthiya” — a portmanteau combining the words “youth” with an expletive in colloquial Urdu — is often used in a derogatory manner to refer to the supporters of Khan’s party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Prior to that, in May 2026, another image had gone viral, showing the former PM’s sons, Kasim and Sulaiman Isa Khan, leading O’Reilly, who is sitting on a horse dressed in traditional Pakistani attire for grooms.

The accompanying caption appears to be a satirical write-up involving Khan, his current wife Bushra Bibi (“Pinky”), and Goldsmith.
The text, which cites “highly-informed sources”, details a fictional phone call where the former PM — incarcerated since August 2023 over different charges — blames all his problems on Bushra Bibi, to which his sons respond by deciding to reunite him with Goldsmith. To fulfill the Islamic requirement of halala for remarriage after divorce, she volunteers her boyfriend named “Cameron”.
Jemima Goldsmith and Cameron O’Reilly
On 4 May 2026, Dawn reported citing media reports that Goldsmith planned to remarry after getting “engaged to Irish-Australian financier Cameron O’Reilly” following a year-long relationship.
The news was exclusively reported on 3 May by The Daily Mail, which said O’Reilly “is understood to have met Jemima in his role as an executive producer on several documentaries and films”.
According to Images, on 13 September, Jemima Jones — the wife of the film producer’s brother Ben Goldsmith — “shared a picture from the wedding on Instagram with the caption, ‘Celebrating Jemima and Cameron’s wedding, with my favourite date, what a happy day!’”
On 16 September, Goldsmith shared pictures of her wedding, thanking her sons Sulaiman and Kasim Khan “for walking me up the aisle”, her stepdaughter Tyrian White “for being my maid of honour”, O’Reilly’s daughters Swasha & Tara “for being my bridesmaids” and his sons Elliot and Oscar for being the “very best men”. She mentioned the date of her marriage as 12 September in the Instagram post.
Fact or Fiction?
Soch Fact Check reverse-searched keyframes from the viral video but only found posts rehashing the claim.
We then scoured Goldsmith’s social media accounts and found a matching image in a post from 20 February 2023 when she attended Bafta Film Awards. According to the caption, the man standing with her is Lucas Webb, an executive producer for her 2022 movie “What’s Love Got to Do with It?”

Moreover, Webb has often posted photos of his husband and their children on Instagram here, here, here, here, here, and here.
This indicated that AI tools were likely used to turn a still image into a video featuring Goldsmith kissing Webb.
We tested the video in multiple deepfake detection tools, such as Hive Detect, NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector, and DeepFake-O-Meter.
According to Hive Detect’s results, the sample is 0.2% likely to be AI-generated video but the chances of it being a deepfake was 14.5% between the 0:00 and 0:01 marks.
Results from Hive Detect.
NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector said the sample was not fake, with a “synthetic score of 5.8%”, which “was lower than threshold (30%), meaning it’s likely a real video”.

DeepFake-O-Meter, on the other hand, found the video to be “likely AI-generated, with “moderate” confidence. The five detectors we used showed probabilities of 94.4%, 86.9%, 72.1%, 66.4%, and 63.8%.
Results from DeepFake-O-Meter.
Despite mixed results from the deepfake detectors, Soch Fact Check concludes that the clip of Goldsmith kissing Webb is AI-generated since we were able to trace the source image of the viral video.
As for the first of the two viral images, we ran it through Hive Detect, which found it “90.9% likely to be AI-generated image”, with specifically a 68.9% chance of the source being “gptimage2”.
Results from Hive Detect.
The “gptimage2” source refers to OpenAI’s image generation model, which is why we then ran it in the company’s own verification tool.
The tool concluded that the picture was generated using the company’s models as it “found a SynthID watermark that originated from OpenAI”.

Moreover, the source image is the second photograph from Goldsmith’s own Instagram post from 16 September 2026.
Hive Detect found that the second of the viral pictures “is 99.9% likely to be AI-generated image”, specifically a 99.7% chance of the source being “gemini3”, which is a Google AI model.
Results from Hive Detect.
Soch Fact Check then tested the video in Google AI’s SynthID detection tool.
According to Google DeepMind, “SynthID embeds digital watermarks directly into AI-generated images, audio, text or video. The watermarks are embedded across Google’s generative AI consumer products and are imperceptible to humans – but can be detected by SynthID’s technology.”
The tool confirmed with a “very high” confidence that since the video contains SynthID watermark, it was “made with Google AI”.

Therefore, Soch Fact Check concludes that the two pictures are also AI-manipulated and AI-generated, respectively.
Virality
Soch Fact Check found the visuals posted dozens of times on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), twice on YouTube, and at least once on Instagram and Threads each.
Conclusion: The visuals are manipulated and two of them were particularly generated using AI tools.
