According to Grazia Orson is the heir to Fry’s chocolate empire - his father is Cosmo Fry, and his late mother is Amanda Aspinall. His sister March Fry is a jazz singer. 

Orson dated British model Alexa Chung after meeting through mutual friends. The couple kept their relationship private but were pictured together at a handful of events. The pair split last year after a three year relationship. 

He is believed to be the frontman of an indie band Some People and has played smaller stages at Glastonbury. Alexa was a usual attendee to his gigs but was absent from a performance in the summer which is believed to be when they went their separate ways.
