The media tycoon has announced his imminent marriage to scientist Elena Zhukova, who is 25 years younger, known through his third wife Wendi Deng.
After four marriages and six children, Rupert Murdoch is trying again. At the age of 92, he announces his engagement to Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old molecular biologist. The media tycoon intends to marry her by June, making it his fifth marriage. His last wife, former partner of Mick Jagger Jerry Hall, was divorced via email in June 2022.
The Fox patriarch began dating Zhukova last summer after a previous engagement with Ann Lesley Smith ended after just two weeks. Elena is the mother of Dasha Zhukova, a Russian model known for her marriage to oligarch and former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. The billionaire reportedly met Zhukova through his third wife Wendi Deng. Apparently, Dasha and Wendi are close friends.
