Fifth Wedding for Murdoch as Romance Blossoms with Molecular Biologist Zhukova…..

Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old media tycoon, is set to walk down the aisle once again, this time with his 67-year-old partner, Elena Zhukova, a retired molecular biologist. The couple’s relationship has been steadily growing, leading to their engagement and plans for a June wedding.

Murdoch, known for his roles as former chairman of Fox and News Corps, and Zhukova are preparing to exchange vows at Murdoch’s California vineyard and estate, Moraga. The wedding invitations have already been sent out, signaling the beginning of a new chapter for the couple.

Their love story began to unfold over the summer, reportedly sparked by their connection through Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi Deng. Murdoch and Deng, who married in 1999 and divorced in 2013, share a history that led to the introduction of Murdoch and Zhukova.

Zhukova, previously married to billionaire energy investor Alexander Zhukov, brings her own unique background to the relationship. As a molecular biologist with a focus on diabetes research, she has made significant contributions to the scientific community.

The impending union will see Murdoch expand his family even further, adding to his six children from previous marriages. His eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, has already taken up the mantle as chairman of Fox Corp and News Corp, carrying on the family legacy.
