Mr Murdoch has been married four times and engaged on six occasions. Last year, he broke off his engagement to his previous fiancée, Ann Lesley Smith, just two weeks after he proposed. He met Ms Zhukova last summer through his third wife, Wendy Deng, and quickly decided he intended to marry her, a spokesman told the New York Times on Thursday. Wedding invitations for a ceremony on Moraga, Mr Murdoch’s California vineyard and estate, have already been sent out.
