Murdoch presented the ring to Ann Lesley Smith on St. Saint Patrick’s Day. He told the Post: “I’m one-fourth Irish,” so it is a fitting celebration. Even though he has been previously married, the 92-year-old billionaire was very nervous, “I dreaded falling in love — but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I’m happy,” Murdoch stated.

The future Mrs. Murdoch is a former San Francisco police chaplain, whose late husband was Chester Smith, the country singer, radio and TV exec. Ann told the Post, “We’re both looking forward to spending the second half of our lives together.”
