Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has married actress Jerry Hall at a private ceremony in London.
Mr Murdoch, whose company News UK publishes the Times and the Sun newspapers, and Miss Hall, an actress and former supermodel, married during a ceremony at Spencer House.
It is the 84-year-olds fourth marriage and the second for Hall, 59, who had was previously in a relationship with Sir Mick Jagger. The executive chairman of News Corporation revealed his engagement to the former supermodel on the births, deaths and marriages section of the Times newspaper in January.
The notice read: "Mr Rupert Murdoch, father of Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace and Chloe Murdoch, and Miss Jerry Hall, mother of Elizabeth, James, Georgia and Gabriel Jagger, are delighted to announce their engagement."
Speaking at the time, a spokesman said they were "thrilled to be getting married and excited about their future".
Held at Spencer House in London, the venue is described on its website as "one of the most sumptuous private residences ever built" in the capital. It is said to be London’s finest surviving eighteenth-century town house.
According to the Forbes rich list, Mr Murdoch is reported to be worth $13.9 billion and appears at the 77th richest person on the planet.
The newlyweds will also hold a private ceremony of celebration on Saturday at St Bride’s Church on Fleet Street, which proclaims itself the “spiritual home of the media”. The church, which has space for 150 to 200 guests, will be closed to the public for the day.
Mr Murdoch famously killed off the historic link between Fleet Street and the newspaper industry in the 1980s when he moved the printing presses to Wapping in east London.
St Bride's history reads: "On January 24 1986, some 6,000 newspaper workers went on strike after the breakdown of negotiations with Rupert Murdoch's News International, parent of Times Newspapers and News Group Newspapers.
"They were unaware that Murdoch had built and clandestinely equipped a new-technology printing plant in Wapping. When they struck, he moved his operation overnight.
"Within months the printing dinosaur that was Fleet Street was dead. By 1989 all the national newspapers had decamped as other proprietors followed Murdoch's lead."
Australian-born Mr Murdoch, who now has US nationality, split up with his third wife Wendi Deng in 2013.
