Rupert Murdoch sent the email to Jerry Hall while she was waiting for him at the couple’s home in Oxfordshire.
Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox Corporation, has always been in the headlines, whether for allegations of biased news coverage or his personal life. Now a shocking fact has come to light about his divorce from his fourth wife actress and former supermodel Jerry Hall. According to a friend of Hall’s, Murdoch made the decision to end their marriage and communicated this to his wife via an 11-word email. Yes, you read that right. According to a report in The Mirror, Murdoch sent Hall a brief email and said that his lawyers would be in touch to discuss the dissolution of their union. He sent the mail while Hall was waiting for him at the couple’s home in Oxfordshire.
The email reportedly said, “Jerry, it is with sadness that I have decided to end our marriage.” “We definitely had some good times, but I have a lot to do. My New York attorney will be in touch with you right away.”
The report claimed that Jerry Hall was “blindsided” by the split. Hall had told friends that the couple “never fought”, adding that she had nursed the billionaire media mogul through many illnesses. She was reportedly given only 30 days to vacate the couple’s mansion in Bel Air, California.
The divorce proceedings came to the fore in June last year. Murdoch’s divorce was finalized in August. After their split, Jerry Hall was reportedly forbidden from giving any material for story ideas to the creators of Succession – a hit TV drama based on the Murdoch family.
Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall were married for six years. This was the former supermodel’s first marriage. She was previously in a long-term relationship with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.
Murdoch’s first marriage was to Patricia Booker, with whom he has a daughter. He also has two sons and a daughter with his second wife, Anna Mann, and two daughters with his third wife, Wendy Deng.
Meanwhile, Murdoch was recently in news for his engagement. The owner of Fox Corporation revealed earlier this year that he had decided to tie the knot with former dental hygienist Ann Leslie Smith. The couple was set to get married in the summer.
However, a report in Vanity Fair later claimed that Murdoch and Smith broke off their engagement within two weeks. Murdoch’s discomfort with Smith’s outspoken evangelical views was cited as the reason for their split.
