Sorry to say, Rupe old boy, you'll never find another Wendi Deng.
From the Guardian, March 8:
Congratulations, Rupert Murdoch! Let’s hope this love match lasts longer than TalkTV
This is the media mogul’s second proposal in 12 months. Us mortals can only speculate about his mesmerising dating secrets
At last, some happy news. Rupert Murdoch is engaged – and for the second time in less than a year. I know! Despite being 93 next Monday, he’s getting engaged even more frequently than serial sex killers serving life sentences. Those betrothals, of course, tend to happen entirely by letter, but as far as we know, Murdoch’s latest love match is a real-world union.

....What you might not have seen is the full instinctive and furious reaction of Mr Murdoch’s wife, Wendi. Having sat through the evidence unsmiling, she moved faster than anyone else. First, she swung a slap at her husband’s attacker. She followed up by picking up the plate and trying to strike him with it. And then she moved back to her husband. Sitting on the table before him, she started to clear the foam from his face, sometimes embracing him, holding his bald head in her arms.
