The media mogul Rupert Murdoch is rumoured to have a new romantic relationship. This comes a few months after he broke off his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, a 66-year-old who used to work as a police chaplain. Now, he’s in a new relationship with Elena Zhukova, a retired scientist. This information was reported by the Daily Mail newspaper.
Recently, there were sightings of Murdoch, who is 92 years old and Zhukova, who is 66 years old, boarding a rented super yacht named “Christina O” in the Mediterranean. This happened last weekend. The luxurious boat was seen off the coast of Corfu, Greece.
It’s said that Murdoch met Zhukova through his third wife, Wendi Deng. Zhukova’s daughter used to be married to a wealthy Russian businessman named Roman Abramovich, who also owned the Chelsea Football Club. Zhukova’s daughter is friends with Murdoch’s third wife.
Rupert Murdoch has been married four times before. His most recent marriage was with Jerry Hall, but they divorced in August of last year. Earlier this year, he had announced his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, but he ended it just two weeks later. He had proposed to Smith with a very expensive 11-carat diamond ring that was worth more than $2.5 million. This information was reported by the Daily Mail.
Before he ended his engagement, he had talked about being ready to get married for the fifth time. He had told one of his own newspapers, the New York Post, that he was apprehensive about falling in love again, but he felt that this relationship would be his last one. He said he’s happy about it. It seems he was uncomfortable with Smith’s very strong religious views.
Murdoch was married three times before to different women: Patricia Booker, Anna Mann, and Wendi Deng. He also has six children from his previous marriages.
Murdoch is the owner of many big newspapers including The Sun and The Times in the UK, Fox News and The Wall Street Journal in the United States, as well as newspapers in his home country of Australia.
