Rupert Murdoch’s ‘wild child’ granddaughter Charlotte Freud finds love again after collapse of whirlwind marriage

Rupert Murdoch’s ‘wild child’ granddaughter Charlotte Freud finds love again after collapse of whirlwind marriage

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch’s ‘wild child’ granddaughter Charlotte Freud has found love with a Hollywood actor following the shock collapse of her marriage.

The 25-year-old, whose family inspired the hit TV series Succession, is dating Netflix star Isaak Presley, 22.

The London-born daughter of PR guru Matthew Freud and media exec Elisabeth Murdoch is living with her new beau – who goes by the nickname ‘Cowboy’ owing to his love of horse riding – in Los Angeles, where she is focusing on writing musicals.

Friends say Isaak, who starred in the screen hits Fuller House with John Stamos and Stuck in the Middle alongside rising star Jenna Ortega, is a good match for Charlotte.

They are both sober having struggled with alcohol and narcotics addiction in the past – with Charlotte’s former hedonistic lifestyle earning her the unsavoury ‘wild child’ label.

Charlotte appeared to confirm the relationship after tagging him in her bed in her latest Instagram post last month.

The couple also exchanged a set of flirty messages in the comments as Isaak asked: ‘Is this a date?’ 

MailOnline have contacted Charlotte for comment.  

Charlotte previously married British rapper Luke Storey – 15 years her senior – in 2022. 

They wed at St Mary’s Church in Westwell, Oxfordshire in 2022, with her grandad Rupert flying in amid his divorce from his fourth wife, Texan supermodel Jerry Hall. Guests included film star Woody Harrelson and TV presenter Claudia Winkleman. 

However the pair split just 14 months later – though she claims it was over almost immediately after saying ‘I do’.

‘We had been married for 12 hours when our whole world fell apart,’ she explained. ‘He relapsed on the way to our honeymoon. It wasn’t a great sign.’

Charlotte, now 25, met Luke – a self-confessed recovering drug and alcohol addict – when she was just 18 and he was 33. 

He encouraged Charlotte to join Narcotics Anonymous, helping to end her addiction to ketamine.

She once admitted that she used ketamine so frequently during high school that peers nicknamed her ‘K-angel’ after the drug.

She said she struggled to cope with the high-profile scandals involving her family and ‘overcompensated’ for her glamorous upbringing by rebelling at school.

Charlotte said she soon realised that recovery would play a big part in her marriage. 

She said: ‘It felt like there were three people in the relationship – me and him and our recovery.

‘If our recovery was strong then we were strong, and if it wasn’t we were falling apart. We had a great relationship when we were sober, but neither of us could stay sober.

‘The wedding was so public and everyone thought our relationship was amazing.’

Her new boyfriend Isaak has also has his own battles with addiction, after he told fans  in January this year that he’s three years sober ‘off of, like, pills. But I’m six months sober off of drinking and excess, other things like weed and shrooms.’

He penned: ‘2 years ago today, I decided to change my life for the better. I encourage anyone struggling to reach out to someone and make that change for yourself, I promise you won’t regret it.’  

In 2023 he was arrested for an incident – which he says was unrelated to his addiction battle – that made him realise he wanted to make some lifestyle changes. ‘I just realised, like, I was still a prisoner under a coping mechanism that wasn’t healthy.’
