Media tycoon Robert Murdoch is going to tie the knot with his girlfriend, his team has confirmed.

According to BBC news report, Australian-born Mr Murdoch, 92, has been dating retired Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, 67, for several months.

The marriage, which is expected to take place at his Moraga vineyard and estate in California this year, will be Mr Murdoch's fifth, but sixth engagement.

According to the New York Times, which broke the story, the nuptials are set for June and invitations have already been sent out.

He stepped down as chairman of Fox and News Corp last year.

Mr Murdoch's other former spouses were Australian flight attendant Patricia Booker, Scottish-born journalist Anna Mann, Ms Deng and US model and actress Jerri Hall.

Rupert Murdoch began his career in Australia in the 1950s - eventually buying the News of the World and The Sun newspapers in the UK in 1969.

He later purchased a number of US publications including the New York Post and Wall Street Journal.

In 1996, he launched Fox News - now the most watched TV news channel in the US.
