Speculations about Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch’s marriage are over: the actress officially files for divorce in California. However, Hall still has one request for her ex-partner.
There was public speculation about the marriage of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his wife Jerry Hall in mid-June. Now the 66-year-old has officially filed for divorce in a California court. This is reported by the “People” magazine, which has the relevant court documents.
Hall gave insurmountable differences as the reason for the divorce. In addition, she asks her estranged husband for alimony and the assumption of the legal fees. The full extent of “all of Murdoch’s assets and liabilities” could not be estimated at this point in time. As soon as this is certain, she wants to adjust the demands again, “People” quotes from the documents.
Murdoch and Hall went public with their relationship in October 2015 and married in London in March 2016. The media mogul has previously been married three times: from 1956 to 1967, he entered into his first marriage to Patricia Booker, who has a daughter, Prudence. Murdoch’s second wife was writer Anna Murdoch Mann. The US publisher has three children with her, Elisabeth, Lachlan and James. The media mogul was eventually married to entrepreneur Wendi Deng from 1999 to 2013. The couple have two more children, Grace and Chloe. The dissolution of Hall’s marriage would be his fourth divorce.
Jerry Hall was not officially married to Rupert Murdoch before marriage. However, the actress had a long-term relationship with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, the two had been together for 22 years. Hall and Jagger tied the knot in a Hindu ceremony in Bali in 1990, but it was not legally binding. The model has four children with the musician, Gabriel, Georgia, James and Elizabeth.
