Murdoch met Zhukova through his third wife, Wendi Deng, with whom he shares two children, The Daily Mail reported in August.

Zhukova is twice divorced.

According to the New York Times, which broke the story, the nuptials are set for June and invitations have already been sent out.

Australian-born Mr Murdoch was rumored to be dating Ms Zhukova soon after his engagement to ex-police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith was abruptly called off in April 2023.

Ms Zhukova was previously married to Russian oil billionaire Alexander Zhukov, while their daughter Dasha - a socialite and businesswoman - was married to the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich until 2017.

The New York Times reports that Mr Murdoch's marriage to Ms Zhukova would be unlikely to affect the future of his businesses, which are held in a trust by his four eldest children.
