The other day, 91-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch was photographed on a holiday to Barbados.
In the photo, Murdoch is sitting shirtless on the beach reading a newspaper, accompanied by a sexy-dressed blonde woman at all times.
The two talked and laughed, behaved intimately, and had a harmonious atmosphere.
According to media reports, the blonde woman is Murdoch's new girlfriend who has been divorced for less than half a year...
That's right, the ninety-year-old Murdoch, who said goodbye to the four-married man, is in love again...
Murdoch's new girlfriend, Ann Leslie Smith, is 66 years old, about the same age as Murdoch's fourth wife, Jerry Hall. Currently single and widowed, he has had two husbands, and neither is rich or expensive.
In the 70s, not long after graduating, Ann married John, her first husband from a wealthy family, and lived a life of a noblewoman.
At that time, her daily schedule was basically only to do charity and model for top designers, and the monthly clothing fee alone cost about 65,000 US dollars, and even she herself sighed: "The world has just opened its doors to me, similar to the royal family..."
But the good times did not last long, and John began to drink heavily, abusing her mentally and physically, forcing her to divorce and run away, and her rich life was interrupted.
An, who signed a prenuptial agreement, seriously deteriorated in her quality of life after her divorce, and once could only earn money by doing odd jobs...
Later, Ann met her second husband, American country music star Chester Smith, and her life gradually improved.
Chester owns 13 television stations in California and Oregon, and is the founder of a broadcasting company.
The couple collaborated on an album in 2005, but 3 years after the album was released, Chester died of a heart attack.
After the death of her second husband, Ann naturally inherited Chester's inheritance, although it is not comparable to Murdoch, who is worth more than $17 billion, and is also a single rich woman.
At 66, she is well-maintained and has an online fashion taste. After basking in the sun with Murdoch, she had dinner with him on the beach in a yellow halterneck bikini and a cropped gauze skirt, and she was in excellent shape...
The media revealed that Ann and Murdoch met in November last year, and just a month later, on Christmas, the two made a public appearance as a couple, but that was a family dinner.
This time, Murdoch was invited by JCB chairman Anthony Bamford to go to Barbados for a vacation, and he specially brought Ann during the vacation, and the two were photographed holding hands at the airport, which is an official announcement of their relationship.
According to the evaluation of friends around him, 91-year-old Murdoch seems to have regained the feeling of love.
Everyone describes his state as "very happy", very similar to when he was engaged to his fourth wife Jerry Hall 7 years ago...
Back in 2016, when Murdoch announced in the British newspaper The Times that he was going to marry former supermodel Jerry Hall, he also looked like he was in love.
Not only did he give Hall the £2.4 million 20-carat diamond ring...
All children attended the wedding with rare attendance...
He also excitedly tweeted to the world: "In ten days, or never, never tweet again!" Feel like the luckiest and happiest man in the world. ”
As a result, the marriage lasted less than 7 years, and Murdoch after loving the two was quite calm and reasonable. In the end, he did not even see each other, and only notified Hall of the "divorce" by email. Because he had already signed a prenuptial agreement, coupled with no children, Hall could only get some breakup fees...
There are many opinions about the reasons for the divorce of the two, and some of Hall's close friends broke the news that the divorce was mainly due to the discord between Hall and Murdoch's children.
During the pandemic, Hall wanted Murdoch to try not to go out and avoid contact with people, but he and his children did not agree, which affected their relationship.
So her love affair with Murdoch is like "Romeo and Juliet" - two ill-fated, elderly lovers separated by their families.
Some people also broke the news that it was because Murdoch was too old and Jerry was young:
"He wears these soft shoes, doesn't like to stand for long periods of time, and cares about his health, and he's a little deaf too. She (Hall) is much younger and still loves to party and go to the beach..."
The rhythms of life between the two are too far apart, and slowly there is no emotion...
In short, the various differences between the two made the "love boy" Murdoch lose his love and break up indifferently and decisively, and this marriage became the shortest of Murdoch's four marriages.
Shortly after receiving Murdoch's divorce notice, Hall filed for divorce over the distribution of property, hoping to prolong the divorce. She first hired RAF personnel to monitor Murdoch, handed him divorce-related documents before and after he went to his granddaughter's wedding, and specially chose the California Superior Court to share "property acquired during marriage" to file a divorce petition.
The documents said she did not know Murdoch's property information, wanted it from the other party, and demanded that Murdoch pay alimony and attorney fees.
In early August, Hall repented and filed a petition to set aside the divorce in Los Angeles court in order to file a new application, which was dismissed.
But almost on the same day, the two jointly announced the news of divorce, and it is said that they have settled out of court.
In the end, Hall got $305 million and left safely, and a few weeks later appeared at Paris Fashion Week with a smile on his face... And Murdoch took less than 2 months to get the divorce and quickly start a new relationship.
Netizens basically just finished the news of divorce and ushered in a love melon, and the ninety-year-old man's New Year's love life also aroused heated discussions again...
"91 years old can still work!"
"Isn't he tired?"
"What do these women fancy him?"
"What's wrong with these women? Jerry Hall tried, and failed. ”
"Gag, no amount of money can convince me to go on a date with a crumpled old snail."
At present, some media speculate that Murdoch is about to usher in five marriages, because his second wife Anna and his third wife Wendi Deng are both married in advance, and the fourth marriage is to announce the engagement news after 4 months of dating...
For many years, Murdoch basically has no window period, once the relationship cools down, he will quickly withdraw and replace people efficiently...
Combined with his claim to have family longevity genes, his love life probably has a long chapter to be continued...
