The Mogul And The Model: Rupert & Jerry's Love Story

They’re Proving Critics Wrong, One Anniversary At A Time.

Eyebrows raised when they were first spotted in public together, watching the All Blacks triumph in the final of the Rugby World Cup in London in October 2015.

It’s a flash in the pan, people said. Only together for publicity, others surmised.

So when Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch announced their engagement in January 2016, there must have been audible gasps of shock.

“Surely Jerry Hall isn’t that desperate,” wrote one social media commentator.

But three years after deciding to tie the knot, the couple – who have a 25-year age gap – appear to be proving the critics wrong. They’ll celebrate their third wedding anniversary in March and it seems the honeymoon glow still hasn’t worn off, judging by their public displays of affection during a recent holiday in Barbados.

The pair were spotted holding hands while strolling along the beach together, sharing loving looks while swimming, and when media mogul Rupert (87) needed assistance getting to his feet in the surf, former model Jerry (62) was quick to help out.
