Has Rupert Murdoch found love again? Drudge Report claims media tycoon, 92, is holidaying on yacht with a ‘new woman’ – scientist Elena Zhukova – and ‘just might be in love again’

• Murdoch, 92, split with his fifth fiancee Ann Lesley Smith, 66, earlier this year  

Rupert Murdoch has been spotted soaking up the sun alongside a potential new love interest, a new report claims. 

The 92-year-old media tycoon was seen lounging aboard a yacht with a woman named Elena Zhukova, according to The Drudge Report. 

‘He’s got the energy of people half his age,’ a source told Drudge. ‘He just might be in love again.’

Murdoch’s yacht, Vertigo, is currently sailing off the coast of the Greek island of Kefalonia, though it is not known whether the pair are holidaying there. 

The report comes just months after Murdoch split from former dental hygienist Anne Leslie Smith, 66.

Describing their whirlwind romance in April as a ‘gift from God’ the couple said they planned to wed in the late summer, but abruptly called off their wedding after a friend close to the couple said Ms Smith had struggled with the publicity.

‘She just could not cope with being in the public eye. She is very private,’ they said. ‘They sat down and talked and agreed it was better for them to part.

MailOnline has contacted Murdoch’s representatives at NewsCorp for comment.
