The wedding was held on Saturday at a Murdoch vineyard. Zhukova is 67. The couple began dating last year. Murdoch stepped down last year as chairman of News Corp and Fox, ending a seven-decade career running a media empire that once spanned satellites, Hollywood studios, books, newspapers and TV stations on three continents.His fourth marriage, to actress and model Jerry Hall, ended in divorce in 2022 after six years. Hall previously was a longtime partner of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger.
Murdoch was briefly engaged last year to former San Francisco police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith, though the pair called off the engagement weeks later. Vanity Fair reported the breakup, citing one source who said Murdoch had grown uncomfortable with Smith’s outspoken evangelical views. His marriage to Zhukova is not expected to impact a trust that holds 40 per cent of News Corp and Fox voting shares, according to a report in the Financial Times. — Reuters
