Less than a year after divorcing Jerry Hall, the 92-year-old Fox mogul is hearing wedding bells again. Hes engaged to Ann Lesley Smith, a 66-year-old San Francisco police chaplain. According to gossip columnist Cindy Adams, who broke the story in the New York Post, Murdochs future wife was previously married to Chester Smith, a country-western singer, as well as a radio and TV executive who died in 2008. A spokesperson for Murdoch confirmed the engagement to Variety.
Adams reports that the two bonded over their shared knowledge of the media business as well as the fact that she once owned a vineyard and he still does.
If they tie the knot, it will be Murdochs fifth marriage. Hall, a model and actress, was married to Murdoch for six years. In addition to Hall, Murdoch was previously married to Wendi Deng from 1999 to 2013; Anna Maria Torv from 1967 to 1999; and Patricia Booker from 1956 to 1967.

The news comes as Murdoch is facing a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting. The technology company alleges that Fox News anchors made knowingly false claims about Dominions influence on the 2020 election, implying that it rigged the race to favor Joe Biden.

(51,643 posts)but I didn't understand how an American can marry that dick who is hell bent on destroying our country. She was sleeping with the enemy. Was she hard up for money? She got money from Mick and modeling so she doesn't need it. I just don't get the attraction.
