Billionaire media baron Rupert Murdoch recently revealed that he is engaged to Ann Lesley Smith (66), six months after he met her.

The announcement comes in less than a year after Murdoch's divorce from his fourth wife Jerry Hall was finalised.

Rupert Murdoch and Ann Lesley Smith got engaged on Friday.

In an interview with New York Post, Murdoch admitted that he was "very nervous" and "dreaded falling in love" but knew this would be his last. "It better be. I am happy," he was quoted as saying.

They met in September, and the wedding will take place in late summer.

“I’m a widow 14 years. Like Rupert, my husband was a businessman. Worked for local papers, developed radio and TV stations and helped promote Univision. So I speak Rupert’s language. We share the same beliefs," she was quoted as saying.

She called their relationship as a "gift from god."

He met her at his vineyard Moraga in Bel Air, Calif. They talked a bit and two weeks later, he called her.
