Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Ann Lesley Smith call off their engagement: Report

Firstpost  

New York: Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and a dental hygienist-turned-conservative radio host have abruptly called off their engagement, a report said Tuesday. The 92-year-old announced his planned nuptials less than a month ago, telling his own New York Post that he would wed Ann Lesley Smith and the pair would spend “the second half of our lives together.” But Vanity Fair, citing unnamed sources close to Murdoch, said the wedding plans were suddenly halted. The magazine reported one source saying Murdoch had become uncomfortable about 66-year-old Smith’s evangelical views. The Australian Murdoch, whose media empire includes The Wall Street Journal, Fox News and other influential outlets, is worth more than $20 billion, according to Forbes.
