Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall spotted kissing

Jerry Hall and media mogul Rupert Murdoch have appeared together for the first time in public, after rumours the pair were secretly dating.

Rupert, 84, and Jerry, 59, were spotted sharing a kiss and a cuddle at the Rugby World Cup final over the weekend.

The pair are said to have met in Australia through Murdoch’s sister and niece and have taken holidays together to New York and California.

A friend of Rupert said the News Corp executive chairman was very fond of the Texan beauty. “There is no question that they are a couple,” the source said.

It is the second time Hall, 59, has had a romance with an Australian man.

She dated Perth millionaire Warwick Hemsley for two years until they split in 2012.

Before that, she was in a relationship with Jagger for more than 20 years and the pair had four children together.

Murdoch, 84, has been married three times, most recently to businesswoman Wendi Deng.

He has been single since their divorce in 2013.
