Didn’t see this one coming! Rupert Murdoch goes public with new flame, Jerry Hall

The supermodel and the media mogul made their power couple debut this weekend at the Rugby World Cup final in London.

Their first public outing was at the Rugby World Cup final in London last November and there were PDAs galore.

Since September, Jerry Hall, 59, and Rupert Murdoch, 84, were rumoured to be seeing one another and now the duo have confirmed the claims, putting on an amorous display at the England verse Australia game at Twickenham on Saturday.

This is the first public relationship for the billionaire since the demise of his 14 year marriage to Wendi Deng, 46, back in 2013.

Unlike the 38 year age difference between the News Corp owner and his ex-wife, there is a 25 year age gap between the Melbourne-born businessman and the former wife of Rolling Stones star, Mick Jagger.

Despite the Wallabies losing the game, Rupert was still in good spirits.

The new couple are believed to have met in Australia and spent time together in California and New York.

Fittingly, the pair’s first public date played homage to their time in Australia, as they watched the Wallabies (sadly) get defeated by the New Zealand All Blacks 34-17.

Thankfully Jerry, who is the proud mother to supermodel daughter Georgia May Jagger, was on hand to nurse the wounds of Rupert’s team losing with the pair indulging in a very public smooch.

Jerry is the first woman to date Rupert since the end of his 14 year marriage to businesswoman Wendi Deng.

Prior to his relationship with Wendi, Rupert was married to Patricia Booker, a former Melbourne flight attendant and Scottish journalist Anna Torv.

Meanwhile, the leggy blonde was previously married to Mick Jagger for 23 years. They tied the knot in a lavish Balinese wedding and their divorce was finalised in 1999.
