Within a year of canceling his previous wedding, billionaire Rupert Murdoch, who is in his nineties, has proposed to another partner, just months after they began dating.
The media representative of the former News Corp chairman confirmed the news to CNN on Friday, just days before the billionaire’s 93rd birthday next Monday.
This marks the second time Murdoch has become engaged within a year. Last March, the media mogul announced intentions to marry Ann Lesley Smith, a former dental hygienist and conservative radio host. However, the wedding was called off weeks later.
This time, Murdoch will marry Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist, as reported by The New York Times, which first broke the news of the upcoming wedding.
Murdoch and Zhukova are said to have started dating in the summer and are planning to tie the knot at Moraga Bel Air, Murdoch’s luxurious vineyard and estate in California.
Murdoch’s fourth wife and previous was former model Jerry Hall, whom he married in 2016. However, their divorce was finalized in August 2022.
