Early life and family
Getty was born in Los Angeles[3] to Ariadne Getty[4] and Justin Williams.[4] She is a member of the Getty family and uses her mother's surname professionally.[5] Getty is the granddaughter of Sir John Paul Getty. Her maternal great-grandmother was actress Ann Rork Light and her maternal great-grandfather, Jean Paul Getty, was the founder of Getty Oil.[6] Her brother is the fashion designer August Getty. Getty spent her early childhood in Santa Monica, California and attended school at The Willows Community School before moving to England with her family when she was eight years old.[3][5] While living in England she attended a boarding school in Oxford.[5] Raised in the Catholic faith, Getty is the goddaughter of Gavin Newsom.[7]
Career
Getty has worked alongside her mother and brother to provide new infrastructures for the Los Angeles LGBT Center and works closely with GLAAD.[3][8]
She has her own clothing and lifestyle brand Strike Oil.[3][9][10] The name is a play on her family's oil business.[11]
In 2014 Getty directed and acted in the short film Smoking Solitary.[12]

Personal life
Getty is openly lesbian.[11] She began dating Canadian socialite and YouTuber Gigi Lazzarato in 2016[18] after spending some time together in Paris during fashion week for the debut of August Getty's collection, where the two were working as models. In November 2017 the couple caused controversy when they jokingly announced they had adopted a child via surrogate via Instagram, but later confirmed that the infant was a friend's child.[16]
