Model Jerry Hall has cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as she files for divorce from media titan Rupert Murdoch and asks a judge to formally end their six-year marriage.
Ms Hall, 65, gave her married name as Jerry Murdoch, sought the permanent split of court documents filed Friday in Los Angeles County courts, according to DailyMail.com.
There is no mention of a prenuptial agreement in divorce papers filed by her lawyers to end her marriage to Mr Murdoch, 91, who has an estimated personal wealth of $7.68 billion, on Friday .
In her petition, Ms Hall says she is not fully aware of the extent of Mr Murdoch’s assets and the documents say her file will be amended “when the information has been verified”.
Hall also claims in the legal papers that she is unaware of the full extent of her ex-husband’s assets, with the papers saying her divorce petition will be amended “when the information is verified.”
“The petitioner is unaware of the nature and extent of all separate property assets and debts, and will amend this petition when the information is verified,” the petition states.
Ms Hall’s solicitor, Ronald F Brot, says in the papers the couple married on March 4, 2016, but their separation date is listed as “to be determined”. Mr Murdoch has 30 days to file a response through his own legal team.
The couple married at St Brides Church in London in March 2016. It was reported that she filed for divorce just hours after Mr Murdoch emailed her while she was waiting in London to tell her that their marriage was over.
Ms Hall was “heartbroken” and “devastated” by the breakdown of her marriage, and blames Mr Murdoch’s adult children for the split, according to the outlet.
She reportedly told a friend, “I still love him. I’m devastated.”
Court documents say Ms Hall’s current home is Mr Murdoch’s $37million, 13-acre vineyard in Bel Air, California.
Ms Hall was previously in a long-term relationship with Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger, with whom she shares four children: Elizabeth, 38, James, 36, Georgia May, 30 and Gabriel, 24.
This will be the fourth divorce for the owner of Fox News, who has six children with Patricia Booker, Anna Mann and Wendi Deng.
