Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and ex-police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith have abruptly called off their engagement weeks after the announcement, according to reports.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Vanity Fair quotes a source close to Mr Murdock, 92, as saying he was uncomfortable with what Ms Smith, 66, described as outspokenly evangelical, views.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Murdoch, who split from fourth wife Jerry Hall in 2022, is yet to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But his engagement to Ms Smith was only announced last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The two met at an event at his winery in California in September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In March, the businessman told the New York Post, one of his own publications: “I was scared of falling in love – but I knew it would be my last. It’s better this way. I am happy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Murdoch, the Australian-born US magnate, added that he proposed to Ms Smith on St Patrick’s Day (March 17), noting that he was “one quarter Irish” and “very nervous” has been. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mrs. Smith’s late husband was Chester Smith, a country singer and radio and television executive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s a gift from God for both of us. We met last September,” she told the New York Post after announcing their engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I’ve been a widow for 14 years. Like Rupert, my husband was a businessman… so I speak Rupert’s language. We share the same beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Murdoch, who has six children from his first three marriages, added at the time: “We both look forward to spending the second half of our lives together.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The wedding was scheduled to take place in late summer and the couple had hoped to spend it between California, Montana, New York and the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Murdoch was previously married to Australian flight attendant Patricia Booker, Scottish-born journalist Anna Mann and Chinese-born entrepreneur Wendi Deng.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
