Murdoch and Hall had officially Wednesday on Friday at Spencer House, an aristocratic palace built by ancestors of the late Princess Diana.

Hall had a Hindu wedding ceremony with Mick Jagger in 1990 in Bali, although a court ruled the ceremony was not legally binding when they split up nine years later.

Rupert Murdoch Wednesday former supermodel Jerry Hall in a low-key ceremony in central London on Friday, the fourth marriage for the media mogul. Britain’s newspaper industry was famously based on Fleet Street until Murdoch moved his printing presses to east London in the 1980 to fight the powerful printers’ unions, with other print media companies soon following suit. Murdoch has six children from three previous marriages, while Hall has four with her ex-partner Mick Jagger. They are expected to hold another ceremony at a church in the city Saturday.

A spokesman said at the time that they were “thrilled to be getting married and excited about their future”.

Murdoch divorced his third wife, Wendi Deng, a former executive at Murdoch-owned Star TV in China, in 2013 after 14 years, saying their marriage had been irretrievably broken.

St Bride’s link with journalism dates back centuries from a time when Fleet Street was home to Britain’s national newspapers and to many offices of regional and worldwide papers.
