WASHINGTON: Moderate media mogul Rupert Murdoch will secure the bunch for the fifth time, at 92 years old years, he expressed Monday in a meeting with his own paper, the New York Post.
Murdoch is currently engaged to Ann Lesley Smith, a 66-year-old former San Francisco police chaplain and the widow of Chester Smith, an American country singer and media executive.
I was extremely anxious. Despite knowing it would be my last, I dreaded falling in love. He stated to the tabloid that it ought to be. I'm content."
After six years of marriage, Murdoch divorced his fourth wife, model Jerry Hall, last year.
Forbes reports that the Australian Murdoch, whose media empire includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and other influential outlets, is worth more than $20 billion.
Murdoch was quoted as saying that he and his new fiancee decided to spend "the second half of our lives together" shortly after meeting at an event he hosted at his vineyard in California last year.
"Possibley, it is not my first rodeo. Being in the final half means getting close to 70, "said Smith. I waited until it was right. My friends are thrilled for me.
The couple plans to split their time between the United States and Britain for the wedding, which will take place this summer.
Murdoch, who has six kids, was first hitched to Patricia Booker, an Australian airline steward, whom he separated in the last part of the 1960s.
Before splitting up in 1999, he had been married to Anna, a newspaper reporter, for more than 30 years. 2013 marked the end of his third marriage to Wendi Deng.
