Jerry Hall & Rupert Murdoch to marry this weekend after 7-week engagement

FFN_KMFF_VANITY_FAIR_1_2272016_51982333

Jerry Hall & Rupert Murdoch attended this year’s Vanity Fair Oscar party. Jerry wore Vivienne Westwood and I have to say, she looked pretty great. Jerry is 59 years old – she’ll be 60 in July. Rupert is 84 years old – he’ll be 85 next week. Apparently, Rupert doesn’t want to be an old groom, because he’s rushing Jerry down the aisle! Jerry and Rupert just got engaged in mid-January, after only four months of dating. And now they’re going to get married THIS WEEKEND.

Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall will hold a “wedding celebration” on March 5 at St Bride’s Church on Fleet Street in London. The couple, who announced their engagement on January 10 after a four-month courtship, will hold the celebration at the Christopher Wren-designed church, situated in the area previously known as the heart of London’s newspaper publishing industry.

Claire Seaton from St Bride’s told Reuters the pair will be married elsewhere but “will be having a service to celebrate the marriage.”

I do feel like this is Murdoch and not Jerry. Like, she has never been the woman to rush a man into marriage. She and Mick Jagger were famously not married for years, meanwhile Rupert Murdoch is rushing into his fourth marriage with a woman he’s been with for less than six months. It does seem sudden. But maybe when you’re that age, you’re like “Eh, why not? What’s the worst that could happen?”

Jerry also covers the latest issue of Hello Magazine, where she shares her wedding plans. Again, for this weekend.

    Gross. And not because of his age.

  2. Santia says:

    Get money!

  3. Jenns says:

    He’s pushing 85. There’s no time to waste!

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Dream wedding? To an evil corpse? Do we really have to go along with this copywriting?

      Does every woman have a price tag? I like to think that all his money would be meaningless in light of what you’d have to do to get it.

    • Vizia says:

      This is what my father-in-law said, when he found another 80-year-old he wanted to marry–do it before it’s too late!

    • spidey says:

      Beat me to it!

    • steph o says:

      No fool like an old fool!

    Get your money honey!

  5. Londongal says:

    I love Jerry but he is Mr Burns crossed with Satan before we move onto the fact that he’s decrepit and FUG. Let’s all hope for Jerry’s sake he’s impotent. Doesn’t bear thinking about!

    • Dena says:

      Stop. Please. I can’t read much more. I’m going to have to leave work and go home sick if I read too many more comments like this one. Oh. The imagery.

    • Emily C. says:

      “he is Mr Burns crossed with Satan”

      This. I know almost nothing about Jerry Hall, but Rupert Murdoch doesn’t deserve ANY woman. Well, maybe Ann Coulter.

    • mary simon says:

      haha – “hope for Jerry’s sake he’s impotent” Yeah, but she still has to kiss that mouth!

    St Brides is a stunning church. It even had a crypt accessible from inside, so Rup’s and Jerry can move down there and become full time Mr + Mrs Cryptkeeper right away.

  7. ldub says:

    get money, bitch. *khia voice*

  8. Jayna says:

    Since they are engaged and plan to marry, she needed to marry him right away at his age. He could kick off at any moment, and she wants to be in the will. Because no one believes she is marrying him for love.

  9. LAK says:

    Actually, they are both the marrying kind. Rupert ALWAYS marries his partners. The man has never been single since his first marriage at 26. Every single wife was married days after divorce from previous wife and usually there was a significant overlap in terms of each succeeding wife having been his mistress.

    I think the single year between Jerry and Wendi was purely because that marriage was the first one where he didn’t have a mistress on the side. As soon as he found someone, BAM he married them. That’s what he does.

    Jerry was tied to the most commitment phobic man on the planet. She had to settle for the living arrangements as they were, and actually thought she was married in that Bali ceremony. She always referred to herself as married before and after the ceremony and now refers to herself as an ex-wife.

    I bet that she’s thrilled that Rupert isn’t shy about marriage after the decades she put up with Mick, the poster boy for commitment phobes.

    Must have been love at first sight.

  11. India says:

    I want to see the ring. I hope it’s as grand as Mariah’s.

  12. Tiffany says:

    I know a shotgun wedding when I see one 😉

  13. Hazel says:

    Good luck Jerry on Rupert’s wrinkly pinky.

  14. Mia4s says:

    Some people would want to see a picture of the dress or the cake…

    …I want to see a picture of the pre-nup. 😉

  15. Esther says:

    i dont understand why he would do that. what has he to gain from marrying so often? im all for disgusting people like him loosing their money but he will have a good prenup and i would still look down on a woman who has no problem with money that comes from so much lies and hatred.

  16. Magnoliarose says:

    Even though she’s marrying Citizen Kane I can’t really say anything derogatory about two older people marrying. Especially these two since they have been around the block a few thousand times each and know exactly what they are doing.

  17. Pants says:

    Get that money, honey.

  18. Truthful says:

    ewwwwww! vomit!!! breath- vomit again!

    Everything is disgusting from his old age to his values. Dirty dirty dirty money Jerry!

    re-vomit!

  19. lovemesseg says:

    Good for them!

    He’s who he is.

    She’s who she is.

    Till death do them part.

  20. Talie says:

    She’s just securing her future. Nothing wrong with that…

  21. lowercaselois says:

    Oh those crazy kids getting married over the weekend.

  22. Ann says:

    Hall has THE worst taste in men.

  23. Pix says:

    This man is such a drama queen. I will never forget reading about his ex-wife Wendi in Vanity Fair. Now that was an amazing gossip article.

  24. Pandy says:

    Please tell me the other ceremony is legit this time?

  25. Maybenot says:

    This will be panned and poo pooed I’m sure, and Murdoch’s business practices and Jerry’s practicality aside, these two actually have excellent astrology together. Everyone should be so lucky. This often accounts for odd couples: Gwen/Gavin, Hilaria/Alec etc. If you feel good with someone and being together makes you happy (as good astrological connections ensure), why not?

  26. Mmtahoe says:

    Why do so many people here who would rightly oppose the egregious effects of racism or prejudices about social class unabashedly indulge in ageism?
    It really bothers me that we spend energy on inequities across every social and demographic group but react this way about older citizens — you might remember we all journey in the same direction. All of us have older relatives, parents, grandparents. Wouldn’t you want them to be happy under these same circumstances, to hopefully have companionship late in life? They’ve certainly earned it. Not to mention these are two really successful, intelligent people.

    Would you really be so judgmental? Please, save the stereotyping and discriminating against individuals on the basis of their age. Even the casual comments are offensive.

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      I agree with you under nearly all circumstances but Rupert Murdoch brings out the worst in people. I’ll endorse anything negative about his personality and business practices and politics … but yeah, his old age per se should not be termed “disgusting.”

      Let’s pile on about everything else. We probably all love and support people who are his age … just not him.

    • Truthful says:

      Yes I would to… with people at the same stage of life as them… as companions as you said.
      I don’t know why people expect women of a certain age to settle for rubbish even if that means literally a corpse… just because these women are middle-aged.

      If the gender were reversed people would be acting way more offended

  27. Who ARE these people? says:

    “Rupert doesn’t want to be an old groom,”

    Nah, more likely Jerry wants to be a young widow.

  28. Beatrice says:

    Lock down the deal before it’s too late, Jerry.

  29. spidey says:

    Should have stuck to Bryan Ferry, Jerry.

  30. db says:

    Good for them. He’s 84, so I don’t know it’s so much rushing into marriage as grabbing life and happiness while you can. I think it’s great to find a good match at any age 🙂
