Rupert Murdoch Ties The Knot With Jerry Hall

Rupert Murdoch Ties The Knot With Jerry Hall

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has married Jerry Hall in London.

Mr Murdoch smiled for photographers next to the actress and former model, who was wearing a trench coat and flat shoes as she left Spencer House.

He later tweeted: "Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world."

Spencer House is described on its website as "one of the most sumptuous private residences ever built" in the capital.

The couple will hold a private ceremony of celebration on Saturday at St Bride's Church on Fleet Street.

The church, which has space for 150 to 200 guests, is being closed to the public for the day.

The marriage is the fourth for 84-year-old Mr Murdoch and the second for Ms Hall, 59, who had a long relationship with Sir Mick Jagger.

Mr Murdoch and Ms Hall were spotted together at the Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham on 31 October last year and announced their engagement in The Times on 12 January.

The notice read: "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."

Mr Murdoch was previously married to Wendi Deng, mother to two of his children, but they split in June 2013.

He reportedly paid out $1.7bn (£1.2bn) in a divorce settlement to his second wife Anna Murdoch. His first wife was Patricia Booker.

Ms Hall, one of four daughters, moved from the US to Paris to pursue her modelling career aged just 16.

She then famously met Rolling Stones' frontman Jagger, and the couple wed in 1990 in Bali.

The marriage was later disputed since it was not properly conducted, and was subsequently shown to be invalid.

The pair, who had four children together, parted after 23 years.

Mr Murdoch is an executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox, which has a 39.6% stake in Sky plc, the owner of Sky News.

His News UK company publishes The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun.
