When Rupert Murdoch brought Jerry Hall home to Australia five years before marriage breakup

Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall have ended their six-year marriage and will divorce, to the shock of friends who watched the happy power couple in the throes of love. 

That was no more apparent than when the media titan took his former supermodel bride home to Australia in January 2017, about 10 months after their low-key wedding in London.

Murdoch, 91, and Hall, 65, attended the belated Christmas party of then-Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, and later visited Melbourne on via a private jet.

The loved-up couple were all smiles as they walked arm-in-arm through the gates of Kirribilli House to meet political, media, and business elite.
