Newley was born in New York City, the daughter of actress Joan Collins and actor/composer/singer Anthony Newley, and a sister to Sacha Newley. She studied at Boston University School of Fine Arts and graduated in 1987. She returned to London when her parents' seven-year marriage ended in 1970 and her mother married the head of Apple Records, Ron Kass. That marriage produced a half-sister, Katie.

She was married to the French composer Michael Adam with whom she had a daughter, Miel Celeste born in 1998.[2] The couple are now divorced. She later had a son she named Weston.
