Rupert Murdoch will embark on his fifth marriage later this year aged 92, after proposing to his girlfriend Elena Zhukova.
The media mogul will marry Ms Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist, in an early summer ceremony a year after they met.
Mr Murdoch has been married four times and engaged on six occasions. Last year, he broke off his engagement to his previous fiancée, Ann Lesley Smith, just two weeks after he proposed.
He met Ms Zhukova last summer through Wendy Deng, his third wife, and quickly decided he intended to marry her, a spokesman told the New York Times on Thursday.
Wedding invitations for a ceremony on Moraga, Mr Murdoch’s California vineyard and estate, have already been sent out.
