Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has married his fifth wife in a ceremony at his Californian vineyard. The 93-year-old tycoon married Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired Russian biologist, on Saturday.
The wedding was held at Murdoch's Moraga estate on June 1, according to reports in the Murdoch-owned The Australian newspaper.
Zhukova is Murdoch's first wife since his split from Jerry Hall in 2016. The couple started dating in the summer, and rumors of their engagement began circulating in January.
Murdoch has been married four times previously. His first wife was Patricia Booker, whom he married in 1956. They divorced in 1967, and Murdoch married Anna Torv in 1967. They divorced in 1999, and Murdoch married Wendi Deng in 1999. They divorced in 2013.
Murdoch's marriage to Zhukova has been met with surprise by some, given his age and the fact that he has been married four times before. However, sources close to Murdoch say that he is very happy with his new wife.
