Jerry Hall, the iconic former model, reveals that she hasn't laid eyes on her ex-husband, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, since their dramatic and "traumatic" divorce six years ago. In a candid chat with British Vogue, Hall opened up about the icy end to their marriage that officially concluded in 2022. The split was remarkably unsentimental – Murdoch, who has a staggering net worth of $23 billion, ended their marriage with a cold email. At 95, he allegedly wrote to Hall, "Jerry, sadly, I’ve decided to call an end to our marriage.” Talk about delivering the news with a chill!
Hall, 69, got the frosty message while battling a bout of food poisoning in her London home. One quirky clause of their divorce was that Hall was forbidden from giving story inputs to the TV juggernaut "Succession," which mirrors Murdoch's own family saga. Reflecting on the ordeal, Hall said, "Divorce is always traumatic, and not everyone stays friends." But there are exceptions – Hall remains amicable with rock legend Mick Jagger. "When you have children with someone, it’s important to be friendly," she explained, noting that she shares four kids with Jagger but none with Murdoch.
Hall’s divorce from Jagger may have been sparked by his fathering a child with another woman, but today, he’s a regular and beloved grandfather. "Mick's a great diplomat," Hall shared. "All the kids and their mothers get along – it’s just how it worked out." As for her current love life, Hall seems unbothered. She candidly admits, "I kind of can’t be bothered to date. I’m very, very happy. I don’t feel I’m missing anything. I like men's company, but I don’t think I’ll ever want to live with one again."
