The last time we spoke about Rupert Murdoch, the 84-year-old had tweeted something about Ben Carson and how he could be “a real black President who can properly address the racial divide.” As opposed to Fake Black President ™ Barack Obama. It was just another fail for an 84-year-old who should not be allowed on social media, if we’re being honest. In fact, after that incident back on October 8th, Murdoch didn’t tweet anything for more than two weeks. There were even rumors that Murdoch’s sons took away his Twitter privileges. But here’s the real reason why Murdoch was so quiet on social media: Rupe’s got a new girlfriend!!!
Murdoch has been single since 2013, when he suddenly filed for divorce from his much-younger wife Wendi Deng. There were stories about Wendi’s wandering eye, and how she may have even had a fling with Tony Blair. Murdoch really got burned with that marriage, but he took some time away from the dating game and now he’s ready to mingle. So ready to mingle, in fact, that he may have found love in the arms of Mick Jagger’s ex-partner Jerry Hall.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is dating Jerry Hall, the former girlfriend of Sir Mick Jagger, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The romance – which has remained a closely guarded secret until now – started after the couple were introduced in Australia by one of Murdoch’s sisters and his niece. It is the first serious relationship for the 84-year-old since the end of his marriage to Wendi Deng, 46. Their break-up followed The Mail on Sunday’s sensational exclusive story about her infatuation with former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Yet the revelation that Murdoch is dating Miss Hall, 59, marks the beginning of an even more astonishing chapter in the private life of the billionaire businessman.
A close family friend of the Murdochs said of the relationship: ‘It’s all very new. They are really enjoying each other’s company very much.’
Next week, the couple will appear together for the first time in public at the Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham. Over the past few weeks, Murdoch – whose businesses include The Sun newspaper – and Miss Hall have enjoyed time together in California and in New York, where they went on a date to see the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.
Murdoch was first married to Patricia Booker, a former flight attendant from Melbourne, and then to Glasgow-born journalist Anna Torv. After breaking up with both wives, he remarried within a year. But since the end of his marriage to Wendi Deng in 2013, he has been single. The age gap of 25 years between Murdoch and Miss Hall is rather less than the 38 years between him and Deng. His new relationship with the Texan model and actress – the girlfriend of Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry before she left him for Jagger – is being cited by Murdoch’s friends as evidence that he is as vigorous in his private life as he is in business. He continues to maintain a hectic schedule for a man of his age, leading a global media empire with vast holdings in America, Britain and Asia.
‘He is very fond of her,’ a friend of Murdoch confirms. ‘There is no question that they are a couple.’
The children of Murdoch and Miss Hall are all fully aware of the new relationship.
I actually have respect for Jerry Hall as a person. I think she loved Mick Jagger, she raised their kids together and turned a blind eye to his womanizing ways for many years for the sake of their family. In interviews, she comes across as funny, personable, a little bit snobby, but probably a lot of fun to be around. While I don’t begrudge her for going out and getting hers, I have my doubts that this is any kind of love match. I mean… yeah, Murdoch is “vigorous”… for an 84-year-old. But imagine what it’s like to kiss him. Or go to bed with him. Or listen to his thoughts on politics afterwards. YIKES.

EWWWW
She obviously has excellent taste in men.
that was my EXACT reaction. ew.
YUCK….He’s gross.
exactly, ewwwwww!!!
*shudder*
maybe jerry hall is a charlie angel-type figure sent from the universe to sexually manipulate hime into admitting he was wrong and flogging himself on fox news. otherwise, just shudder.
Wait a minute – the bottom photo is Jerry Hall?
Never would have recognized her.
Yes, a true “love match”.
Right??? I thought the bottom pic was of Shannon Tweed??
I thought it looked more like Madonna, albeit a more zaftig version
Nooooooooooooo Jerry, doooooooooon’t!
Jerry has aged so well and looks natural. If she has had anything done at least it is minimal.
First of all, she was Mick Jagger’s wife, even though he tried to claim otherwise during the divorse.
Secondly, I am appalled by how she is described by nothing but her ex-relationships.
Thirdly, I have a hard time believing this.
Don’t be too appalled. For many years she defined herself by her relationships.
I always rather liked Jerry, and she put up with years of s*it from Mick Jagger, but this liaison brings my estimation of her right down. Anyone who could bear to get next to the crypt keeper Rupe has to have had a taste bypass. I would imagine that any “goings on” in the bedroom would need to be assisted by a little blue pill, shudder. Maybe it is his scintillating wit that she is attracted to?
Companionship and money. Duh
Woman’s gotta take care of business. Get it, Jerry Faye!
I want to know exactly how Jerry plans to raise the dead?
Saywhatwhen: I’m betting that he’ll be taking care of that with a little blue diamond…
Go for it, Jerry. Own him, get him completely besotted, and then finish him off or us, will you? Ta.
Jerry hall..don’t think I’ve heard her name in..two or three decades? To each their own..shrug..
Ew and nope.
I think I just did a little bit of sick in my mouth.
Anyway. Would Jerry save Rupe from a custard pie attack, like Wendi did at the British parliament?

I totally remember that incident with the pie. LOL, too bad she didn’t let it hit in his face, she was too darn quick. She blocked that pie like pro athlete.
Yoohoo, Abbess, so nice to see you here, haven’t heard from you in a while. Friendly wave.
Wait…you respect her for turning a blind eye to her husband’s womanizing ways “for the sake of the family”? Yikes.
She broke Bryan Ferry’s heart. I have never forgiven her for that.
I can’t understand her wanting to shack up with a deranged right wing lunatic who uses media to manipulate low information voters into supporting an agenda that is anit-woman, racist, homophobic, xenophobic and meant make the rich richer and the poor into chattel for corporations and churches.
To each their own I guess? Or is this just her retirement plan?
It’s just her retirement plan. Don’t take it personally. I’m doubting Jerry is active in politics. That’s not what this is about.
Yes! Poor Bryan Ferry. Although he got “Kiss and Tell” out of it. And his last wife was his son’s ex, at one point, Eek.
Anyway, I would think Jerry could do better than Rupert Murdock. She can’t be hurting this much for money.
Doesn’t she have enough money!?!
She’ll never have enough money.
ewwww…. and she is still very much younger than him, a whole generation younger than him… ewwww….
errrr and I doubt ” she is getting hers”… at 84, no matter how many pills the old man is popping h went into geriatric territory a long time ago in that department…
Age is a number and “sex” isn’t vitally important for mature relationships — Real intimacy is made up of a lot of things and traditional sex isn’t necessarily one of them. Some 80-year olds seem as youthful as other 60-year olds. These days, “old” isn’t defined by a number, but the individual. He is bound to be a fascinating man with incredible life experiences. She, too, has had the same, though surely of a different sort. They are both wise enough to know what’s what. If they enjoy the company of one another, good for them!
“Some 80-year olds seem as youthful as other 60-year olds” actually that is biologically incorrect… this is exactly within this gap that most of major organs dysfunction properly: a healthy 60 year old can still jog… a healthy 80 year old NOT.. at that age walking/ eating/ and thinking properly are what healthy is!
And age isn’t a number (who invented that stupid and absolutely false expression?)… particularly at the end of life
You don’t sound like you’re joking, but I really hope you are! People in their 80s can’t jog? My 82-year old dad regularly jogs, (and splits and cuts firewood); a local runner in my town, in his early 80s, completes an annual 10-miler running race. These are just two I know of without giving much thought. Many people in their 80s are quite fit, mentally aware and enjoying life quite fully. Do you not know many people in their 80s?
On the flip side, I know from nursing home work, some people in their 60s who need (and receive) assisted nursing care. Lifestyle choices, environment, diet, exercise and genetics all play a role in shaping a person’s health and wellness — *that* is biology. Spend some time in nursing facilities and with primary care medical practices and you will realize that there *is* a significant range of function, both mental and physical, for people in middle age and older. People are living longer, and with better health and fitness, than ever before.
@Lurking from my cozy corner: you take few specific and try to make them into rules … marks and statistics will be your friends you know…
No am I not joking: no matter how healthy you eat and live people die in their 80s … in their 60s not so much….That is biology! after that of course you will see the exceptional 80 years old jogging or the exceptional 60 year old struggling with health problems, but they are just that: exceptions!
A more striking example: living healthy at 60 can guarantee you some more decades…. Living healthy at 80 just ensure you the next week… THAT is BIOLOGY!!
No matter how much you take care of yourself you organs DO grow old! and the older they get, the closer you are getting to a failure of one of them!!
What is wrong with this reality? You do know that the more you grow old the more you approach death do you? of course people die older….and at 80 you at the end of the ride!!!
PS:my dad is doctor he sees more dying 80s people than 60s ones… and people in nursing home at 60 are quite exceptional exceptions!
And what first attracted you to the multi-millionaire Rupert Murdoch?
Sorry you would have to be a Brit to get that completely
To be fair, he is only 12 years old than her ex Mick Jagger.
“only 12 years old “… “Only” includes a lot of years here…
I agree that Jerry’s put up with a lot. If she’s getting intellectual stimulation and some fun times from Rupert, why not? And Rupert was hella embarrassed and heartbroken by Wendi’s weirdo affair (her obsession with his butt?) with Tony Blair, which was profiled in Vanity Fair and testified to by house staff. Mick Jagger: just gross. I seriously can’t see the appeal, even in pics from his youth. He writhes on stage like a crazy worm.
Three things:
1. Oh, sweet Jesus remove that image from my brain.
2. Ms Hall has never struck me as being particularly intelligent, so Old Rupey’s gross non-PC-ness probably won’t even register with her.
3. Nice boost for the pension, Jezza, but OMG what a price to pay.
I deliver you one more theatrical retch.
Ewww is right.
She’s now 59 years old? Huh. She used to be younger than me when she was modeling and started dating Mick. I just checked my drivers licence. Yep, I’m 55. I’m not good at math, but this seems odd…
Please, this is not the first time (and it won’t be the last one), where someone stays with a much more older one for money. This kind of things are as old as the world. Anycase, she is almost 60s, she is a fully grown up woman, she knows very well what she is doing. I don’t see here any bad, old wolf.
She did that sad reality show mess a few years ago, so I chalk this up to greed!
He MUST have some other wonderful character traits beside his vast wealth. Snicker.
