Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall finalize divorce after six years of marriage

Billionaire Rupert Murdoch and model Jerry Hall have finalized their divorce after six years of marriage, Hall’s lawyer says.

It was the fourth divorce for 91-year-old Murdoch, who married Hall, 66, in London in March 2016.

“Jerry and Rupert Murdoch have finalized their divorce,” lawyer Judy Poller said.

“They remain good friends and wish each other the best for the future.”

Australian-born Murdoch owns newspapers around the world and is worth more than $US17 billion ($24 billion), according to Forbes.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement, The New York Times reported in June. It means the separation is unlikely to alter the ownership structure of businesses in which Murdoch holds stakes.

Those businesses include the parent companies of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal.
