Rupert Murdoch, Jerry Hall divorce after 6 years of marriage

It is the fourth divorce for the 91-year-old Murdoch, who married Hall, 66, in London in March 2016.

“Jerry and Rupert Murdoch have finalised their divorce,” Hall’s lawyer Judy Poller said.

“They remain good friends and wish each other the best for the future.”

The Australian Murdoch, who owns many of the world’s most famous newspapers, is worth more than US$17 billion, according to Forbes.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement, and The New York Times reported in June that the separation is unlikely to alter the ownership structure of businesses Murdoch holds stakes in, which include the parent companies of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal.
