Who Is FKA twigs' Boyfriend? All About Photographer Jordan Hemingway
FKA twigs and Jordan Hemingway confirmed their relationship publicly for the first time in March 2023
FKA twigs and her boyfriend, Jordan Hemingway, are a picture-perfect pair.
The “Killer” singer (born Tahliah Debrett Barnett) revealed her relationship with the London-based photographer in a since-deleted March 2023 Instagram post. Since then, the couple have kept their relationship largely private.
Before she began dating Hemingway, twigs had a public breakup with Shia LaBeouf. Their split led to the musician suing the actor alleging “relentless abuse” in December 2020. LaBeouf denied "each and every allegation" in a February 2021 response to her suit.
A little over three years after her lawsuit, twigs shared in her Instagram reveal that Hemingway had “restored my faith in love.”
“You know it just takes the right person,” she said a year later in an April 2024 interview with British Vogue. “I’ve kissed a few frogs to get there but I feel that Jordan listens to me and opens me up in a way that no one really has ever been able to.”
Hemingway, for his part, has had a successful career of his own, working in photography since he was 15 after watching Terry Gilliam’s 1985 dark comedy Brazil, he told 032c magazine in May 2024. He has since worked with stars like producer Gesaffelstein and Dua Lipa.
From professional collaborations to her admiration for her new partner, here’s everything to know about FKA twigs’ boyfriend, Jordan Hemingway.
He’s from New Jersey
Hemingway was born and raised a stone’s throne away from the Big Apple in New Jersey. In a May 2024 interview, he told 032c magazine he “grew up in a little sleepy farm town” near Princeton, N.J., where there was “nothing to do, except take drugs or play sports.”
His early passion for skateboarding “saved” Hemingway, he said, and “got [him] out” of his small town. “We skateboarded every weekend in New York,” he added, which eventually led Hemingway to photography and cinematography.
Hemingway is a photographer and filmmaker
Spending his summers in New York City, Hemingway “started printing for a photographer” when he was 15, he told 032c. Once he graduated from high school, he “spent a few days” at the Savannah College of Art and Design before returning to the city after he was told he wasn’t allowed to work in the darkroom.
“Living [in New York] for seven years, at which time I did just about every job imaginable, was like this university of work that gave me a wide array of skills that I now rely on,” Hemingway said.
His father’s career as a jazz musician introduced the young creative to “the sense of community, togetherness and the freedom” of how it felt to create and “be together with other artists.”
Hemingway was inspired to pursue photography and filmmaking by Japanese artist Shuji Terayama and Gilliam’s film Brazil. He primarily works as a photographer and director, shooting for Prada, Gucci and Acne Studios while also directing short films like fashion brand Mowalola’s Silent Madness in 2020.
“I love being on set more than anything,” Hemingway said. “Commercial, photoshoot, whatever it is, I’m there and I’m loving it. I can’t get enough.”
They confirmed their relationship in March 2023
After online speculation as to the identity of her boyfriend, twigs addressed the rumors head-on in a since-deleted March 2023 Instagram post.
“The whole of my career i've been hunted for who i am dating. so this time i'm pipping you to the post and taking control of the situation,” she captioned the post. “His name is @jordan_hemingway, a beautiful artist whose heart has restored my faith in love.”
She shared a series of photos with Hemingway, finishing out the caption writing, “Swipe for the hot pics. and now i'd like to go back to my nice private life with the dogs <3.”
She tries to keep her relationship with Hemingway private
Twigs went through a public breakup with her Honey Boy costar, LaBeouf, whom she accused of alleged sexual, physical and emotional abuse. She told British Vogue in April 2024 that she “had to be very compassionate with myself and really listen to myself to get better” after their split.
As a public figure, twigs prioritizes privacy in her relationship with Hemingway. Since revealing their relationship in March 2023, twigs has scarcely posted with Hemingway, telling British Vogue that she understands that her status as an actor and musician can be “really not nice” for her partner.
“When I’m with somebody who’s not in the public eye in the way I am, I’m conscious of everything I can do to make that situation as comfortable as possible because I’ve been on the other side of it,” twigs said. “Right now I feel so ready to stand up for things that I believe in, to protect people who I love."
He was the art director of twigs’ performance at a fashion week show
Twigs and Hemingway joined forces creatively for an October 2023 performance of her track, “Unearth Her,” during Valentino’s spring/summer 2024 Paris Fashion Week show. She debuted the song on the runway with a performance directed by Hemingway.
"So much fun Art Directing the performance for @maisonvalentino," Hemingway later wrote on Instagram alongside a video of the performance. "Thank you @fkatwigs and @pppiccioli for your trust and beautiful vision and the whole team at Valentino for being so collaborative."
They have attended a number of events together
The couple have been seen in the audience at a handful of fashion events, including the Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024 show in July 2023 and The Fashion Awards in December 2022.
They also attended the launch of the "The Wild Escape" campaign at London's Natural History Museum in January 2023.
