Jenni McKnight

I joined HELLO! Online in 2019 as part of the UK team but quickly turned my obsession with music, beauty, fashion, and the United States into a new role on the U.S. edition.

With an unrivalled knowledge of music genres and a love of red-carpet fashion, I have spearheaded coverage for the Oscars, Grammys, the Golden Globes, and the biggest country music awards like the CMAs, ACMs, and the CMTs, gaining exclusive interviews with stars like Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Kane Brown, and more.

As a sports enthusiast – watching, not playing – I also cover lifestyle angles on major events within the NFL, Super Bowl and F1.

My passion for lifestyle has contributed to an incredible growth on the site which led to HELLO! U.S being awarded Best Launch at The Drum Awards for Online Media in 2022.

Born and raised in West London – not the posh part – I started my career after a shopping trip and the gift of the gab saw me land a job assisting Amy Winehouse's former stylist.

From there I attended the London College of Fashion where I studied journalism and fashion history before undertaking an intensive journalism course at the Catch-22 Academy.

I worked at Metro newspaper on the Guilty Pleasures showbiz desk for four years and during my time I interviewed huge A-list celebrities from film and music, including Brad Pitt and Taylor Swift. I have also worked at Mirror Online, Woman & Home, Woman and CelebsNow.
