Guess who’s tying the knot once more? Yup, Rupert Murdoch, that spry young chap of 93 years, is saying “I do” for the fifth time. Yep, you read that right, fifth time. This man has more weddings under his belt than most people have vacations!
The media titan broke the news via The Sun—because, of course, he’d use his own tabloid—showing off snaps with his radiant bride, Elena Zhukova. Elena, a retired molecular biologist, must have looked at Rupert and thought, “Well, why not? Fifth time’s gotta be the jackpot!” Their wedding took place at his winery in California. Because when you’re Rupert Murdoch, you say, “Let’s get hitched at my vineyard, darling.”
Take a gander at the photos… Despite being one of the richest dudes on the planet, RM went for a chill, understated ceremony. Think “modern minimalist” meets “wine country chic.” Who knew billionaires could be so…down to earth?
Now, let’s do a quick walk down Rupert’s matrimonial memory lane. Before Elena, there was Jerry Hall, whom he was married to until 2022. Before Jerry, there was Wendi Deng (1999-2013), and before her, Anna Murdoch Mann (1967-1999). And kicking off this parade of spouses, his very first marriage in 1956. You could say Rupert’s got this whole wedding thing down to a science by now.
Rupert’s got six kiddos from his previous escapades in matrimony. Whether any of them showed up to witness wedding number five is anyone’s guess. His son Lachlan is now running the show at News Corp, the mega media empire that includes The Sun, Fox News, and The Wall Street Journal. Basically, Rupert’s got his hands free to focus on wedded bliss.
So, cheers to Rupert and Elena! Fifth time’s the charm, right? If nothing else, Rupert’s proving that love—and apparently wedding cake—really does get better with age!
