Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is set to tie the knot for the fifth time, as he recently got engaged to his girlfriend Elena Zhukova, as revealed by reliable sources. The 92-year-old media mogul plans to host the wedding at his Moraga vineyard and estate in California. This announcement follows closely on the heels of Murdoch’s resignation as chairman of Fox and News Corp.
Elena Zhukova, a retired molecular biologist from Moscow, entered into a relationship with Rupert Murdoch last summer, facilitated by Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi Deng. The upcoming marriage comes after Murdoch’s fourth union with actress and model Jerry Hall ended in divorce in 2022 after six years.
Notably, Murdoch was briefly engaged to former San Francisco police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith last year. His previous marriages include unions with Patricia Booker, Anna Mann, Wendi Deng, and Jerri Hall.
Rupert Murdoch’s career took off in the 1950s in Australia, and he expanded his influence by acquiring UK newspapers News of the World and The Sun in 1969. He also made significant investments in US publications like the New York Post and Wall Street Journal.
In 1996, he founded Fox News and established News Corp in 2013. Having stepped back from his leading role in the media empire last year, Murdoch handed over control to his son Lachlan and assumed the position of Chairman Emeritus for both Fox and News Corp.
