the couple’s marriage seems destined for the divorce courts. A split which came as a shock to everyone who is close to the couple may not be an entirely amicable one. Sources in the Murdoch camp are already suggesting that the media mogul has complained about the model’s behaviour, of which more later.
For her part, Ms Hall, 65, was devoted to her 91-year-old husband and, according to friends, was quite prepared to care for him if he fell into ill health. Any assumptions that she might have decided to cut and run with whatever she is entitled to after six years of marriage would seem to be wide of the mark. And whatever the true reason for their separation, there are signs it happened relatively swiftly: only last December the couple bought a ranch in Montana that was seen as a romantic gesture from Mr Murdoch to his Texan-born wife.
Are we witnessing an old man with a £14 billion fortune getting his complex family affairs in order like some sort of Succession season finale? Or does the truth about the demise of the Murdoch marriage lie in the sort of mundane day-to-day strife that can doom the relationships of billionaires and ordinary people alike?“I was genuinely shocked when I heard,” said one friend of the couple. “Their marriage is very much the genuine article and if you ask anyone who has seen them together privately they will tell you Jerry dotes on him, so no one saw this coming. ”Another source said: “They seemed so well matched.
