Rupert Murdoch has reportedly married for a fifth time, tying the knot to Elena Zhukova at his Californian vineyard. The wedding was held at the 93-year-old media mogul’s estate Moraga on June 1, according to US and UK media reports. Guests included New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his wife Dana Blumberg as well as News Corp chief executive Robert Thompson.
The pair began dating last northern summer and met through Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi Deng, according to a report in the Daily Mail. Murdoch’s most recent marriage to actress and model Jerry Hall ended in divorce in 2022 after six years. He was briefly engaged last year to former San Francisco police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith, though the pair called off the engagement weeks later.
