The Daily Mail published some snaps of a laid-back Murdoch in shorts, a Ralph Lauren shirt and a sun hat.

Media mogul's multiple marriages

Murdoch has been married four times before. His first wife was Patricia Booker, a flight attendant from Australia, whom he married in 1956 and divorced in 1967.

The 92-year-old's second wife was Anna Torv, a journalist from Scotland, whom he married in 1967 and divorced in 1999.

The billionaire's third wife was Wendi Deng, a businesswoman from China, whom he married in 1999 and divorced in 2013.

His fourth wife was Jerry Hall, a supermodel and actress from Texas, whom he married in 2016 and divorced in 2020.

Rupert Murdoch's fifth engagement

In March, the tycoon, in an interview, announced he would tie the knot for the fifth time at the age of 92 years.

Murdoch engaged Smith, the widow of American country singer and media executive Chester Smith.

"I was very nervous. I dreaded falling in love but I knew this would be my last. It better be," he told New York Post.

Smith said:

“I’m a widow 14 years. Like Rupert, my husband was a businessman. Worked for local papers, developed radio and TV stations and helped promote Univision. So I speak Rupert’s language. We share the same beliefs."
