Fox News titan Rupert Murdoch, 92, has set the rumor mill ablaze once again with his impending fifth trip down the aisle. The lucky lady? None other than retired scientist Elena Zhukova, a sprightly 67-year-old Russian-born beauty. This news comes just in time for Murdoch’s 93rd birthday, proving that age is just a number when it comes to love and news empires.
To put things into perspective, this would be Murdoch’s first foray into romance since he announced his retirement as head honcho at the Fox Corporation and News Corp, bestowing that illustrious title upon his son, Lachlan Murdoch. Talk about keeping it in the family, right?

Zhukova could very well be Murdoch’s good luck charm after a string of unsuccessful marriages, including his split from model Jerry Hall in 2022. With no offspring from his most recent union, it’s clear that the media mogul is not one to let his personal life overshadow his professional success.
It’s worth noting that Murdoch, originally from down under, got his start in the news business at a young age, inheriting his first newspaper at 21. He went on to amass an impressive portfolio, claiming the likes of Fox News, Sky News Australia, the New York Post, the Sun, and the Wall Street Journal under his belt.
Even after stepping down as CEO of Fox News in 2015, Murdoch continued to cast a large shadow over the network, holding sway over its editorial direction. His alleged request for an anti-Trump bias and the subsequent fallout led to the ousting of the late Roger Ailes, a move that had the media world buzzing for weeks on end.
With a legacy as broad and influential as Murdoch’s, it’s safe to say that the announcements of his personal life will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
