Rupert Murdoch to marry former model in $1.6 billion lawsuit

Rupert Murdoch is on a fifth set of nuptials, as his mass media company Fox Corp FOX is facing a $1.6 billion lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

The 92-year-old billionaire plans to marry San Fransisco police chaplain and former model Ann Lesley Smith, whom he met in September of last year in Bel Air, California, according to The Washington Post.

Smith, a widow of 14 years, accepted Murdoch's proposal on Saint Patrick's Day, where he offered her an Asscher-cut diamond solitaire in New York City.

Smith told Adams that it was a gift from God.

The couple, who plan to wed later this summer, told Adams how much they have in common. She and her late husband also owned a vineyard and had been involved in the wine business, Murdoch said. Smith, 66, talked about her experience in the media industry and said, Like Rupert, my husband was a businessman. They worked for local papers, developed radio and TV stations and helped promote Univision. I speak Rupert's language. We share the same beliefs. According to CNN, Murdoch, who attended former President Donald Trump's first state dinner in the White House in 2018 with his former wife, model and actress Jerry Hall, isn't likely to be sending an invitation to Trump for his marriage to Smith.

Trump has lashed out at Fox News, accusing the network of favoring Florida Gov., despite the Dominion lawsuit. Ron DeSantis was accused of being fake news. Evidence from the trial shows that Murdoch, a former close ally of Trump, didn't believe that the 45th president's claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged despite the decision not to stop many of the network on-air personalities from repeating it.
