Rupert Murdoch's engagement at 92 years excites Larry Madowo

 

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, 92, is engaged again. The wealthy magnate is set to marry Ms Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist.

This is his sixth engagement. It will also be the fifth time he is walking down the aisle to say 'I Do'.

News of his engagement to Elena Zhukova comes just months after the Fox boss effectively handed over the reins of his conservative media empire to his son, Lachlan Murdoch.

The wedding is set for June at his California estate and vineyard, called Moraga. Larry appears to be encouraged that he also has time.

Taking to his Twitter account, Madowo penned his delight simply captioning the news story.

"Ï still have time."

The CNN correspondent is among Kenyan male celebrities who aren't married. He also has never indicated if he is dating or has ever been in any relationship.

However, his closeness to Kenyan national DW news correspondent Edith Kimani gets tongues wagging.

The two have been friends for so long that anytime they do share anything online, it gets Kenyans happy and speculating about their friendship.

7 years ago, Larry on his Twitter expressed his frustration at the constant hounding about his status, writing,

"Apparently marriage is the ultimate achievement & is supposed to tie you down. What utter nonsense," he said.
