Congratulations, Rupert Murdoch! Let’s hope this love match lasts longer than TalkTV | Marina Hyde
Finally, some good news! Rupert Murdoch is engaged again, and this is the second time in less than a year. It's hard to believe that he is turning 93 next Monday, yet he's getting engaged more frequently than serial sex killers serving life sentences. Although those killers usually propose through letters, Murdoch's engagement seems to be happening in real life. His fiancée, Elena Zhukova, aged 67, is a former biologist and was once Roman Abramovich's mother-in-law. Unfortunately, there are no official engagement photos available yet, so we can imagine the image of the slavering alien cornering Ripley in the infirmary in Alien 3. Nevertheless, the Fox News chairman emeritus has a lifelong commitment to telling irreverent stories about people's private lives, and he wants his latest chapter to be covered just the way it is.
The author discusses Rupert Murdoch's failed engagement with a former dental hygienist and prison chaplain that lasted only two weeks. The author expresses surprise that the relationship did not work out, considering the woman's successful dismissal of a case of financial elder abuse brought against her by a previous stepchild. When Murdoch announced his intention to marry her, he gave an interview in which he said he was afraid of falling in love but knew this would be his last chance. This is Murdoch's second engagement in less than a year.
Despite his fears, Murdoch has now encountered his challenges twice, and both instances occurred within a relatively short period compared to when his ill-fated TalkTV channel was televised. The announcement of TalkTV's transition to online-only came as a bold move, revealing a level of bravery that was noteworthy in light of the dire rating situation.
What can we tell about this new love connection? Murdoch's previous partner was 66 years old and this latest one is 67, meaning that his preferred age range appears to be similar to that of his eldest daughter. In an attempt to avoid any conflict with the upcoming wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, Murdoch and Zhukova have announced their plans to tie the knot in June at his vineyard in California. This is the same location where Jerry Hall alleges Murdoch made her complete a lengthy online winemaking course so he could use it as a business expense. It makes you wonder if Murdoch ever figured out what went wrong in his previous marriage. Perhaps he could have taken hints from the CCTV footage that was still being sent back to Fox HQ after the split, until Mick Jagger's security team removed the cameras.
Well, that's all history from the past. And it's obvious that Mr. Murdoch's future wife has already made a better move than his previous fiancée, who was planning to get married to him at the age of 92, which wasn't ideal. However, I hope this new engagement doesn't fall apart. But if it does, based on his track record, the next fiancée might marry him at an even older age, like 94. He might even have his 7th or 8th wife when he hits the 100-year-old milestone. In some ways, it's the ideal situation for him.
Moving on to how the happy couple crossed paths, sources claim that they were introduced by Wendi Deng, who was Murdoch's second to last wife. It's noteworthy that Murdoch and Deng are still on good terms considering a scandalous event that was reported in Vanity Fair. The article, which covers several years of drama within his personal and business life, mentions a situation where Murdoch suffered a severe injury. Long story short, he had to be transported from a yacht in Guadeloupe to a hospital in LA where doctors realized he had broken his back, and that he had previously fractured vertebrae. According to the magazine, he attributed this to an altercation with his ex-wife Deng, where she allegedly pushed him into a piano during a fight. (Deng has not provided a comment on this incident.)
Well, it's unclear if Ms. Deng actually tried to find her ex-husband a new wife or if she took the initiative on her own, but it's good to see they were able to move on from their past issues. As for why a piano was involved in one of their arguments, it's purely speculation, but perhaps it was just nearby while Rupert and Wendi were discussing a Vanity Fair article that included notes written by Deng about Tony Blair and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. One note in particular gushes over Mr. Blair's charming personality, good looks, and powerful stage presence.
These individuals are incredibly humorous and much more amusing than the individuals permitted to be discussed in his publications. Rupert, who has now retired and is possibly advising his son Lachlan from his vineyard office, may be questioning what other avenues he can pursue. It wouldn't hurt for him to contemplate composing a book for normal people on how to date, in which he divulges his captivating romantic tactics.
