Katie Melua was previously married to musician and songwriter, Jason B. She is known for keeping her personal life private, but as of 2025, she is reportedly dating a prominent figure in the music industry, although details about her boyfriend remain largely under wraps. The couple has been spotted together at various music events and has expressed mutual support for each other’s careers.
She is also partly of Canadian and Russian ancestry. She was baptised into the Georgian Orthodox Church. Melua spent her first years with her grandparents in Tbilisi before moving with her parents and brother to the city of Batumi, where her father worked as a heart specialist.
During this time, she sometimes had to carry buckets of water up five flights of stairs to her family's flat and according to her, "Now, when I'm staying in luxurious hotels, I think back to those days".
Net Worth and Salary
Katie Melua remains actively engaged with her fans through various social media platforms. She regularly shares updates on her musical projects, personal life, and charitable endeavors on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Her online presence allows her to maintain a close connection with her audience, providing glimpses into her life beyond the limelight.
Melua is a patron of Fair Trees, the organisation that is trying to stop exploitation of cone pickers in Ambrolauri, Georgia, by the European Christmas tree industry.
The local people in this region of Georgia are paid a pittance to risk their lives climbing 30 m high fir trees to collect the cones from which the seeds are extracted and sent to Christmas tree nurseries in Europe.
Until Fair Trees came along these cone pickers were given no safety equipment or training, no health insurance and very little pay; every year people are injured and even killed doing this work. Fair Trees grow and sell the only fair trade Christmas trees in the world (certified by the WFTO).
Career, Business and Investments
Katie Melua’s career took off with her debut album, Call Off the Search, released in 2003, which quickly topped the charts. With subsequent albums, she has sold millions of copies worldwide and received numerous awards, including a BRIT Award. In addition to her music career, Katie has ventured into business by investing in music production companies and collaborating with various artists, which has further solidified her status in the industry.
Melua opened up about the breakdown years later in an interview with The Independent, saying that it ended up being one of the best things that had ever happened to her, as she said it helped to quash a feeling of superiority she felt by being a successful musician in the music industry.
"It was petrifying, but it put a stop to fantasies of being able to do anything. The oddest thing about this job is the sense of superiority you get. It was a huge wake-up call. I was completely out of it for two weeks, and in hospital for six.
There was a bunch of things going on, things at home and crazy work schedules, and you really believe the world revolved around you and it doesn't."
Education
After completing her GCSEs at the all-girls' grammar school Nonsuch High School in Cheam, she attended the BRIT School for the Performing Arts in the London Borough of Croydon, undertaking a BTEC with an A-level in music.
