Freya St. Johnston is a British woman who found herself in the public eye for a short time, thanks to her relationship with actor Liam Neeson. Despite occasional tabloid headlines that referred to her as a businesswoman, there’s little concrete information about her career or background, and she has largely stayed away from the limelight.
St. Johnston and Neeson reportedly began dating in 2010, about two years after the death of Neeson’s wife, Natasha Richardson. Their relationship drew some media attention initially, with photographers spotting the couple together in London, making it Neeson’s first known romance following his loss.
Unlike many celebrity couples, St. Johnston and Neeson kept things low-key. They spent time between London, where St. Johnston lived with her two children from a previous relationship, and New York, where Neeson was based while raising his two sons. Even as speculation circulated, both seemed intent on steering clear of excessive media coverage.
The romance appears to have lasted around two years before quietly ending in 2012. After their split, St. Johnston withdrew even further from the public sphere. She didn’t try to capitalize on the attention or transform it into fame, and avoided public appearances and interviews. There’s been minimal information about her since, and she seems to have maintained minimal, if any, social media presence.
Details about St. Johnston’s professional life are fleeting. There have been suggestions she worked in public relations or a related business field, but nothing specific has ever been confirmed. The focus remained almost entirely on her connection to Neeson, and once that chapter closed, so did her brush with notoriety.

Today, Freya St. Johnston remains something of a mystery. Unlike many who find themselves pulled into the orbit of celebrity, she returned to her private life, leaving almost no trace in the entertainment world. Her brief time in the spotlight stands out mostly because of how thoroughly she stepped away from it – and how determined she has been to protect her privacy ever since.
