Published in the Births, Marriages and Deaths section of the
Times newspaper, the advert read: "Mr Rupert Murdoch, father of
Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace and Chloe Murdoch,
and Miss Jerry Hall, mother of Elizabeth, James, Georgia and
Gabriel Jagger, are delighted to announce their engagement."
The 84-year-old executive chairman of News Corp and 21st Century
Fox and Hall, 59, a former supermodel and actress, began dating
in the summer last year after being introduced by one of
Murdoch's sisters and his niece while in Australia, the paper
said.
They were first pictured together at the Rugby Union World Cup
Final in London in October, and the Times reported they had
become engaged in Los Angeles where they had been attending the
Golden Globes awards ceremony.
"They have loved these past months together, are thrilled to be
getting married and excited about their future," a spokesman for
the Murdoch family told the Times. (http://thetim.es/1OYlDgl)
Murdoch has been married three times previously. He divorced his
third wife, Wendi Deng, a former executive at Murdoch-owned Star
TV in China, in 2013 after 14 years saying their marriage had
been irretrievably broken. (http://reut.rs/1OYm3n6)
Hall, from Texas, was married to The Rolling Stones frontman
Mick Jagger for more than 20 years, although in divorce
proceedings Jagger claimed that they were never legally married.
Before her relationship with Jagger, she had dated British pop
star Bryan Ferry, frontman of the band Roxy Music.
