Rupert Murdoch gets engaged at 92 to Elena Zhukova, set to marry for 5th time

Media Tycoon Rupert Murdoch, 92, recently got engaged to his 67-year-old girlfriend Elena Zhukova, a retired molecular biologist, who he has been dating since last April. Although the former Fox and News Corp chairman stepped down from his role in 2023, ending his seven-decade career, he is set to embark on a new phase in his life by marrying for the fifth time.

Murdoch's wedding is expected to be held at his vineyard and estate in Moraga, California. According to the New York Times, the nuptials are set for June and the invitations have been sent out already.

Murdoch was rumoured to be dating Zhukova soon after his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, an ex-police chaplain, was abruptly called off in two weeks in April last year. He was previously married to model Jerri Hall.
