Rupert Murdoch ended his marriage to Jerry Hall with an 11-word sentence emailed to her, it has been claimed.

"Jerry, sadly I’ve decided to call an end to our marriage,” Rupert Murdoch reportedly wrote to his fourth wife.
He added: "We have certainly had some good times, but I have much to do. My New York lawyer will be contacting yours immediately".
The divorce was reportedly initiated by the billionaire media mogul without any warning in June 2022.

Almost one year on from their unexpected divorce, new claims have emerged about the brutal way in which Murdoch went about informing his wife that it was over.
Friends of former supermodel Hall said she was 'blindsided' by the split, as the couple had 'never fought' and Murdoch's wife had stood by him and cared for him throughout several battles with illnesses.
Despite this, it has been claimed that Hall was given just 30 days to move out of the couple’s mansion in Bel Air, California.
