Rupert Murdoch and girlfriend Ann Lesley Smith are engaged, just seven months after the News Corp chairman reached a divorce settlement with his now-ex-wife, Jerry Hall.
This will mark the 92-year-old’s fifth marriage, as he was previously married to Hall, Wendi Murdoch, Scotswoman Anna Murdoch Mann, and Patricia Booker.
Murdoch proposed to Smith with an Asscher-cut diamond solitaire ring on St Patrick’s Day (Friday 17 March) in New York City, the New York Post has reported.
