Rupert Murdoch and Ann Lesley Smith had been immortalized in January in Barbados, with the bare-chested businessman enjoying his love holiday. A month later, rumors about the purchase of a house in New York worth 30 million dollars had started circulating, and a few weeks later the official announcement of the engagement had arrived: the tycoon had asked the woman to marry him on the day of Saint Patrick.
But if a few weeks were enough to make the two run towards the altar, it took even less for the sensational backtracking. At the moment, no official confirmations have yet arrived, but neither have they been denied…
Rupert Murdoch’s four previous wives This would be Murdoch’s fifth marriage. His first wife was Patricia Booker, married in 1956 and from whom he divorced in 1967. The same year the entrepreneur got married to Anna Maria Torv. Their relationship lasted until 1999, when they divorced and Murdoch married Wendi Deng. The relationship with her lasted four years. The fourth wedding was instead with a character known to the chronicles. In fact, in 2016 the tycoon married Jerry Hall, a famous model who in the past had had relationships with pop star Brian Ferry and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, with whom she was married for nine years, from 1990 to 1999, and with whom she had four children . However, Murdoch’s marriage to her lasted only two years and the divorce came in 2022.
