Tycoon Rupert Murdoch gets engaged at 92 to Elena Zhukova: his fifth wedding after a failed ‘I do’

A clear example of this is the case of Rupert Murdochwho, at 92 years old, plans his wedding with the former scientist Elena Zhukova66. This is the sixth marriage proposal embarked on by the media mogul, who last August refused to say ‘I do’ with his previous girlfriend, Ann Lesley Smith (67).

The businessman is preparing his wedding for next June at the vineyard he owns in California. Thus, months after delegating the Fox media empire to his son Lachlan Murdoch is encouraged to embark on a new stage on a sentimental level, a Murdoch spokesperson told ABC News this Thursday.

Murdoch, known for his strong conservative profile, He has been married up to five times. Her last wedding was in 2016 to Jerry Hall, whom she divorced six years later.
