Rupert Murdoch Is Engaged to Scientist Elena Zhukova

Rupert Murdoch is engaged to scientist Elena Zhukova.

The media patriarch, 92, announced he is planning to get hitched to the retired 67-year-old – who he met through his third wife, Wendi Deng, 55 – on Thursday (Mar. 7) through his team.

Invitations for the wedding have already been sent out, according to the New York Times.

Murdoch and Zhukova’s nuptials are set to be held in June at his California estate, Moraga, the publication added.

The media mogul started dating Zhukova over the summer after his previous engagement to former police chaplain and vineyard owner Ann Lesley Smith was called off two weeks after it was announced.

DailyMail.com revealed that the couple started dating in August when the two were spotted cruising the Mediterranean on a family summer holiday.

Zhukova is mom to Russian socialite Dasha Zhukova, famous for her marriage to Russian oligarch and former Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich.

A source told the Mail about Rupert and Elena: “They met through Wendi and Dasha.”

Elena has been married twice and specialized in molecular biology and diabetes.
