Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch have finalised their divorce. The 66-year-old model filed for divorce from the 91-year-old media mogul last month. The former couple have gone their separate ways and vowed to ‘remain good friends’. A joint statement from Murdoch’s attorney Robert S Cohen and Hall’s attorney Judy Poller reads: “Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch have finalised their divorce. They remain good friends and wish each other the best for the future.”
It comes after it emerged on Wednesday that Hall had requested the Los Angeles Superior Court cancel the divorce petition. News of the pair’s split was first reported in June. In July, it was revealed Hall had filed for divorce.
She was said to have cited “irreconcilable differences”, requested spousal support and for her husband, who is said to have an estimated net worth of around $20 billion (about R320bn), to pay her legal fees in the paperwork filed in the Superior Court of California in LA County.
The documents added that Hall did not want the court to award support to her estranged husband.
In her filing, she said she was “unaware of the full nature and extent of all assets and debts, and will amend this petition when the information has been ascertained”.
The pair tied the knot in a civil ceremony at Spencer House in London on March 4, 2016, before holding a wedding service at Fleet Street’s St Brides Church the next day. At the time of their nuptials, Murdoch said he was “the luckiest and happiest man in the world.
