RUPERT MURDOCH ENGAGED: MEDIA MOGUL TO TIE THE KNOT AGAIN
Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul and billionaire businessman, has declared his engagement to his longtime partner, Jerry Hall. The couple, who have been dating since 2015, announced a classified ad in The Times, one of Murdoch’s newspapers, on January 12th, 2016. The announcement comes just two months after Murdoch’s separation from his previous spouse, Wendi Deng.

The announcement reads: “Mr. Rupert Murdoch, father of Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace, and Chloe Murdoch, and Miss Jerry Hall, mother of Elizabeth, James, Georgia, and Gabriel Jagger, are delighted to announce their engagement.”
The announcement also notes that the engagement was celebrated with a notice in The Times, which is a traditional way of announcing engagements and marriages in Britain.
