Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch Engaged for Sixth Time at 92

Rupert Murdoch, former chairman of the Fox Corporation, has announced his engagement to Elena Zhukova.

The New York Times reports that the media executive would marry retired molecular biologist Zhukova, who is 67 years old.

Last year, the 92-year-old media mogul announced his engagement with Ann Lesley Smith, a former police chaplain.

He began dating Zhukova only four months after breaking off his two-week engagement to Smith.

Murdoch is claimed to have met the scientist during a family party given by his third ex-wife, Wendi Deng, with whom he was married for 14 years before filing for divorce in 2013.

Invitations to Murdoch’s wedding have already been sent out. The event will take place in June at Moraga, his California ranch.

Murdoch has been married four other times and has six children.

Jerry Hall, a former supermodel, was his last wife, and the two divorced in 2022. His other ex-wives include Wendi Deng, Anna Mann, and Patricia Booker.

In September 2023, the media executive resigned as the chairman of Fox and News Corporation.

Murdoch continues to own hundreds of local, national, and worldwide media businesses through his company News Corp, which was created in 2013.

Zhukova, on the other hand, had previously married Russian oil billionaire Alexander Zhukov.

Her daughter, Dasha, was previously married to Roman Abramovich, a Russian businessman and former owner of Chelsea FC.
