Murdoch to wed for the fifth time at 92 years old

Yuma, AZ – It is common for the news to report on celebrity marriages and divorces. However, it is rare that a person will make it to their fifth marriage. There are also statistics to show that people who have already been married and divorced multiple times are less likely to stay married in the future.

Yahoo News reported on the recent divorce and upcoming marriage of wealthy businessman Rupert Murdoch [1].

Ultra wealthy Murdoch about to get married again shortly after a prior divorce

Murdoch had gotten engaged to a woman who is 26 years younger than him only seven months after a divorce settlement was finalized with his prior wife. Their marriage ended suddenly when Murdoch communicated his intention to get divorced via email. The 92 year old has been married four prior times, and he stated that this fifth marriage is his last chance at love. He had proposed a few days before the news report on St. Patrick’s Day.

Previous reports noted that the couple had met just about five months earlier and had told the media they were in a relationship a month later. They had been spotted together on a vacation in Barbados not long after their relationship was confirmed. That means that Murdoch decided to propose after a fairly short period of courtship.

Murdoch’s new fiancee is named Ann Lesley Smith, and she was previously married to country singer Chester Smith until his death in 2008. She stated that her prior husband had many business interests in newspapers, television and radio, so she was comfortable speaking to Murdoch who has worked in similar fields for decades.

The importance of prenuptial agreements

In situations where there is a significant amount of wealth at issue in a potential divorce, a prenuptial agreement is almost always recommended. This will help each member of the couple retain their personal interests related to wealth and real estate, and it can also help get to a divorce settlement or end of a divorce case much more quickly. However, prenuptial agreements also need to be drafted correctly and in accordance with state law, meaning that it is important for each spouse to speak with their attorney about the agreement well in advance of the wedding.
