Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch engaged for sixth time

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, aged 92, plans to marry Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, 67, marking his sixth marriage.

The 92-year-old Rupert Murdoch is expected to marry Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, 67, this year.

The 92-year-old gentleman reportedly has been in a relationship with retired Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, aged 67, for several months.

Their upcoming marriage, scheduled to occur at his Moraga vineyard and estate in California this year, will mark Mr. Murdoch’s fifth marriage, though it will be his sixth engagement.

Having stepped down as chairman of Fox and News Corp last year, Mr. Murdoch’s impending nuptials, as reported by the New York Times, are planned for June, with invitations already dispatched.

Australian-born, Mr. Murdoch was linked romantically with Ms. Zhukova shortly after his engagement to ex-police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith was abruptly terminated in April 2023.

The couple reportedly met at a gathering hosted by one of Rupert Murdoch’s former wives, Wendi Deng, who is of Chinese descent.

Among Mr. Murdoch’s previous spouses are Patricia Booker, a flight attendant from Australia, Anna Mann, a journalist from Scotland, Wendi Deng, a Chinese-born entrepreneur, and Jerry Hall, a model and actress from the US.

Dasha Zhukova, who was previously married to Russian oil billionaire Alexander Zhukov, is the daughter of Mr. Murdoch’s current partner, and she was previously married to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich until 2017.

Rupert Murdoch initiated his career in Australia during the 1950s, eventually acquiring the News of the World and The Sun newspapers in the UK in 1969. He also purchased various US publications, including the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal.

In 1996, he founded Fox News, which has become the most watched TV news channel in the US.

Through News Corp, established in 2013, Mr. Murdoch maintains ownership of numerous local, national, and international media outlets.

His career has been marked by controversy, notably the UK phone hacking scandal involving the News of the World’s intrusion into murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler’s voicemails.

In September, Mr. Murdoch announced his intention to step back from the leading role in his media empire, handing over responsibilities to his son Lachlan and assuming the role of Chairman Emeritus of both Fox and News Corp.

The New York Times indicates that Mr. Murdoch’s marriage to Ms. Zhukova is unlikely to impact the future of his businesses, as they are held in a trust by his four eldest children.

While this may be his sixth engagement, it’s proof that love knows no bounds. Whether you’re a fan or just curious about the latest celebrity scoop, this engagement is definitely causing a stir. Keep an eye out for updates on this intriguing love story. Who knows what the future holds for the media mogul and his new fiancée!
