Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch gets married for the fifth time at the age of 93.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has got married for the fifth time at the age of 93.

The Aussie entrepreneur, who owns properties including News Corp and Fox, tied the knot with Elena Zhukova - a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist - after dating for several months.

Murdoch's previous marriage to the model Jerry Hall ended in 2022 and just a year ago he got engaged to former talk show host Ann Lesley Smith, although he called things off just a fortnight later.

Pictures shared in some of Murdoch's titles, including The Sun, depict the happy couple in the garden of his Californian vineyard, where they exchanged vows.

Last November Murdoch stepped down as chairman of News Corp and Fox Corp in favour of his eldest son Lachlan Murdoch.
