Rupert Murdoch to marry Elena Zhukova as he gets engaged for sixth time at 92

Former Fox and News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch, 92, has become engaged to his girlfriend Elena Zhukova.

The wedding will be held in California, at Murdoch’s vineyard and estate, Moraga, a spokesman said on Thursday.

The New York Times, which first reported the news, said Zhukova, who is from Moscow, is 67.

She is a retired molecular biologist whom Murdoch began dating in the summer.

Murdoch stepped down from his role in September last year, ending a seven-decade career that began at his father’s Australian newspaper business and culminated in one of the most influential media empires.
