British comedian Russell Brand seems to have found his lady love — its cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemimah Khan! The two were seen taking a stroll in East Village, New York, with their arms around each other over the weekend. It is the first time they have been photographed publicly together, though it appears the acquaintance is more than just casual.
Last week, Brand hinted he was smitten by a new woman in an article for The Guardian. He admitted he was dating someone but refused to give any names, according to dailymail.co.uk. He wrote, “Now, I’m not typically immune to the allure of objectified women, but I am presently beleaguered by a nerdish, whirling dervish, and am eschewing all others.”
The unlikely pair met about two years ago when Khan commissioned Brand to write an article for the New Statesman, of which she is Associate Editor, and remained friends.
While Brand has been linked with a string of women since his marriage ended with pop star Katy Perry in 2011 — which she claims was initiated by Brand via a text message — Khan, 39 enjoyed a high-profile relationship with actor Hugh Grant (2005 to 2007), according to The Telegraph.

IK said that he turned 4 non-muslims into muslim.Who are those four.Is she one out of four?
@Imtiaz:
ofcourse it is ..wht ET wants his a controverial topic to increase readers...as usual cheap media..!!!
@M. Emad: Jemimah Khan prefers a British comedian over a Pakistani comedian.
Comment of the day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PTIans take it seriously, this comment is no comdey)
Been there. Done that.
@Vishnu Dutta: She never was. Her "Nikah" (Muslim marriage contract) to IK was cosmetic. Actual marriage was held in a Paris Church - Google search can show you pics.
Why should someone's personal life be of interest or news item for us?
Who is she?
Still she is called Khan how starange, or this serious mistake of ET???????????
From one playboy to another, the game gets more interesting. Religion is personal but in Pakistan we brand people as Muslims and non Muslims. When it comes to playboys their blind supporters want to implement censorship. Pictures do not lie and this picture tells the whole story. Form some Islam is only imp when in Pakistan. It disappears like a cheap suit when a better opportunity comes along. Most Pakistanis who marry western women cannot keep them happy and they end up with divorces and their kids live with mothers and follow her and majority’s religion. Fathers name their kids Muslim sounding but in reality they grow up to be typical western. Nothing wrong with that and it happens every day. I am only stating a fact based upon experiences.
everything against IK/PTI is news for ET.
IK can resolve this through Negotiation....
That's their personal matter.
People should not be bothered as what they are upto?
Share this news with Maulana Fazl u rehman. He would be happy to see her with someone else.
@M. Emad: Brilliant!
Sigh. Just because two people are in the same company as one another, doesn't mean they're together. But yes, it is nobody's business what they do in their personal lives. Saad, disrepsectful? Please. When he and Katy Perry divorced, Russell has said praise about her (though the media would like you to believe otherwise) and he didn't take a penny from the divorce. Tabloids also don't like to cover how he helps others.
Why don't you all mind your own business, she is free to do what she wants , she came from a different background, and culture, and respected our ways when she was here, unfortunately it did not work out, now she is free.
@Bunny: This was posted in the evening :D
Let's start treating people as individuals and lets not involve religion and personal lives into politics :-)
I always expect mature and resposnible journalism from TRIBUNE... I dont know why TRIBUNE is trying to come down to evening newspapers...
SUCH NEWS WITH SUCH CAPTION ONLY SUIT TO EVENING NEWSPAPERS...
"This is not our war" :p
Poor IK
Its her life. she is not Imran khan's wife anymore. Who are you people to judge her? It is her personal matter
@RAW is WAR: Ask IK :)
Seems that we can't leave anybody alone.
@Vishnu Dutta: Get over your sarcasm -
Russell Brand isn't man of good reputation. He is known as vulgar and disrespectful. No wonder his marriage didn't work with Katy Perry. Ms Jemima deserve someone much better
Jemimah Khan prefers a British comedian over a Pakistani comedian.
Move on please!
Chalo, at least IK can have a company of a man on his next visit to the Goldsmith Mansion.
Leave the them alone it is not our concern what she does with her life.
@AluChat:
according to IK, they are still a couple. From which angle does she still look like a muslim?
@vishnu Its between her and God, its neither your nor anyone business.
ET is good at copying news from foreign newspapers.
My sincere felicitations to the trolls of PTI.
@Vishnu Dutta: According to IK she is Muslim and is teaching the kids about Islam as well. Go figure
Is she still a muslim?
good for her! She's gonna laugh all day :P
