She has always been close to her younger sister, Lily Jones (who is a model), encouraging her to pursue her dreams : "I love Lily. It's always been us against the world, especially in our early lives and modeling careers. We were not the tallest or the slimest and people were not the kindest towards us. When I stopped modeling, she kept asking herself if she should too, because the backlash she was constantly facing was really hard to handle. I hope I was able to help her the same way she did when I said I wanted to make music" (in an interview with GQ in october 2021).
She is great friend with model and actress Florence Adams.
She dated Japanese actress and model Yuko Araki from 2018 to 2019. Both said the relationship ended on good terms.
