Media magnate Rupert Murdoch, at 92, continues to arouse passions. Just a few months after calling off his engagement to widowed Ann-Lesley Smith, it looks like the nonagenarian Australian might be open to love again.
A year after his divorce with the model Jerry Hall, with whom he was married for six years, he has now been seen vacationing in Mediterranean waters with the Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova.
According to the American portal Drudge Report, the media mogul, owner of ‘The Sun’ and ‘The Times’ in the United Kingdom and the American news channel ‘Fox News’, could be in love again, although it is not known a lot about the woman who could be his new partner.
Apparently, the “couple” is not spending the holidays alone, since they are accompanied by some of the businessman’s children. Even so, they are on the legendary Cristina O superyacht, which has 18 bedrooms and is very large, with more than enough space for everyone.
According to sources close to Murdoch, Zhukova knows her daughters Grace and Chloe, whom she had with Wendi Deng, whom she was married to in 1999. In fact, she was the one who introduced them, since she is a great friend of the biologist, according to the Daily Mail.
Not much is known about Elena Zhukova, the woman who accompanies Murdoch on his summer getaway on his superyacht, although she could be the businessman’s new love. She is an eminence in the world of biology, although she is not active. Her specialty is diabetes and her name resonates with the UCLA medical research unit.
On a personal level, she has been married twice and has been living in the United States for over 30 years. She left her native Russia in 1991 with her daughter, the ex-wife of businessman Roman Abramovich.
Just like in his love story with Ann-Lesley Smith, the age difference is not a problem for the businessman. Although there are still no images of Murdoch and Zhukova, they could be saving themselves for big red carpet events. In fact, he is known for his transparency and naturalness when it comes to presenting himself with his relationships.
Given Murdoch’s family fortune, his love life has been making headlines for years. He has been married four times and has had six children from those marriages. Although he has been divorced four times, his split with Jerry Hall has been the quickest and most contentious. She was one of the most expensive in history, given the properties that the magnate had.
