Media Tycoon Rupert Murdoch is embarking on a new chapter in his love life at the age of 92. According to the reports, Murdoch plans to tie the knot with his girlfriend, Elena Zhukova, in June. This will mark Murdoch’s fifth marriage, having been previously married four times. His colorful personal life has often been the subject of tabloid gossip, reflecting the very industry he helped shape across three continents.
Last year, Murdoch announced his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, a conservative radio host, but the couple called off their wedding plans shortly afterward.
Elena Zhukova, who is from Russia and now resides in the United States, is a retired molecular biologist. At 67, she is significantly younger than Murdoch, who is 92. Notably, Zhukova’s daughter, Dasha Zhukova, is an arts patron and entrepreneur who was formerly married to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
The upcoming wedding of Media magnate Rupert Murdoch and Elena Zhukova is set to take place at Murdoch’s Moraga estate in California, where he owns a vineyard.
Murdoch’s previous marriage was to model Jerry Hall, the former partner of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.
Murdoch’s marital journey began with Patricia Booker, an Australian flight attendant, whom he divorced in the late 1960s. Following this, he entered into matrimony with Anna Torv, a newspaper reporter, with whom he shared over 30 years of partnership before their divorce in 1999. His third marriage to Wendi Deng concluded in 2013.
With a media empire that includes The Wall Street Journal and Fox News, Murdoch’s net worth exceeds $20 billion, according to Forbes. He recently handed over control of his global media holdings to his son Lachlan, moving into an emeritus role.
