    Rupert Murdoch & partner of six years Jerry Hall to get divorce

    Mumbai: Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his wife of six years former actress-supermodel Jerry Hall are getting a divorce.

    As per reports, the separation is unlikely to alter the ownership structure of businesses Murdoch holds a stake in, which include parent company Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. Murdoch is worth an estimated $17 billion, according to Forbes.

    Murdoch, 91, married Hall, 65, in March 2016 in London. This is his fourth divorce.

    Murdoch maintained a powerful role in politics and the media after selling the majority of his corporation to Disney for $71 billion in 2019. The two men’s relationship further suffered after Murdoch’s Fox News predicted that Trump lost Arizona, an election call that came before other news organisations followed. He was a frequent unofficial adviser to the former president Donald Trump, though he distanced himself from Trump leading up to the 2020 election.

    MUMBAI: At a time when divorce rates are sky rocketing and the current generation is increasingly shying away from marriage as an institution there is one person who has proved his faith in the holy union quite strong. At the age of 84, media mogul Rupert Murdoch has announced his engagement to actress and model Jerry Hall, who turns 60 in a year.

    The couple, who were seen together in Los Angeles last weekend while attending Golden Globe Awards, had declared this happy news in births, marriages and deaths section in the Times newspaper.

    This will be News Corp executive chairman Murdoch’s fourth marriage, while for Hall this will be her first under the law. Hall had a 23-year long  relationship with Mick Jagger with whom she has four children — Elizabeth, now aged 31, James, 29, Georgia May, 23, and Gabriel, 17. Jagger and Hall did have a marriage of sorts, which was later declared invalid by the High Court in London in 1999.

    On the other hand, Murdoch has six children from his three previous marriages namely James, Lachlan, Elisabeth, Chloe, Grace and Prudence. He divorced his third wife Wendi Deng, 46, in 2013.

    Murdoch was previously married to Patricia Booker, a former flight attendant from Melbourne, and then to Scottish journalist Anna Torv.
