Rupert Murdoch and Ann Lesley Smith have decided to cancel their engagement, just shy of a month after publicly revealing their plans to marry.
The initial report of their engagement surfaced in Vanity Fair, and Rupert Murdoch personally verified the news through his publication, the New York Post.
Media sources indicate that the reason behind their separation is Rupert’s growing discomfort with Ann’s religious convictions. Ann has openly shared her faith through the Christian Broadcasting Network.
Ann conveyed to the outlet, “Material possessions no longer hold significance for me. What truly matters is the well-being of others. Surrendering control to the Lord allows you to overcome challenges. From the wreckage, you can ascend, and His anointing can envelop you completely.”
Additional details from LittleThings: Rupert Murdoch is set to marry the widow of the late country singer, and reports suggest he’s feeling “very nervous” about the upcoming union.
Rupert had previously clarified his decision to enter into another marriage, expressing, “I was apprehensive about falling in love again, but I knew this would be my final journey into matrimony. It has to be. I am content, and we are both eager to share the latter part of our lives together.”
