Jerry Hall filed for divorce from billionaire husband Rupert Murdoch last Friday, citing “irreconcilable differences” six years after their marriage.
The 66-year-old model asked the 91-year-old media mogul to pay an unspecified alimony and attorney fees, according to the California court filing.
Hall said in the petition filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court that she “was not aware of the nature and extent of all (Murdoch’s) assets and debts and will amend this petition when the information becomes known.”
Hall’s attorney, Ronald Brot, did not respond to Reuters’ request for a position. Murdoch’s legal representatives could not be contacted outside of business hours.
Murdoch and Hall were married in a low-key ceremony at Spencer House in central London in March 2016. It was Murdoch’s fourth marriage.
The New York Times reported in June that the divorce would likely not change the ownership structure of the companies in which he holds stakes.
Murdoch, chairman of Fox Corp, which owns the Fox News channel, controls News Corp, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, through a family fund based in Reno, Nevada, which owns approximately 40% of the voting shares of each company
