The news is bad for Rupert Murdoch, for he and Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger’s famous ex, are set to divorce, according to a report from The New York Times. The publication noted that “two people with knowledge of the decision” spoke with them on the split between the 91-year-old Rupert and 65-year-old Jerry, but only if they could “speak anonymously to discuss a personal matter.” HollywoodLife has reached out for comment on this report and will update this post with any additional information.

Rupert and Jerry wed pm March 4, 2016, a week short of his 85th birthday, in London. This will be the fourth divorce for Murdoch, who was previously married to Wendi Deng, an entrepreneur, and investor, from 1999 to 2014. Murdoch divorced his second wife, Anna, a former newspaper reporter, in 1999, after more than three decades. His first wife was Patricia Booker, an Australian model whom he divorced in 1965.
Jerry was famously involved with Mick Jagger. She even married the Rolling Stones frontman in a 1990 ceremony. However, the union was annulled nine years later and found not to be exactly legal. Thus, Mick’s marriage count is only at 1, officially, and that was to Bianca Jagger.

This split between Rupert and Jerry will not likely affect Murdoch’s media empire. Per the NYT: “The Murdoch family’s shares in the companies Mr. Murdoch founded reside in a strictly managed trust. Mr. Murdoch splits voting rights over that trust with his four oldest children — Lachlan, Elisabeth, James, and Prudence — and has arranged them so that he can never be outvoted.” However, if the split ends up costing him, it might “reverberate throughout his business empire.”
