Is Jack really Abel Smith?

The Jamaican-born entrepreneur, who has a law degree from the London School of Economics, met photographer Jack Brockway in 2013. They hooked up on Necker Island (owned by Jack’s uncle Richard Branson), where Alexandra was giving a business talk. Knowing Jack was in the audience, she cheekily demonstrated the app by giving him a glowing review. They married last month and Alexandra gained a Hollywood sister-in-law in Kate Winslet, who is married to Jack’s brother Ned Rocknroll.
