Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch have reportedly finalised their divorce – despite last-minute reports the actress filed court documents seeking to dismiss the action.

Lawyers for the former couple confirmed on Thursday morning (Australian time) that their divorce proceedings had concluded.

“Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch have finalised their divorce. They remain good friends and wish each other the best for the future,” Mr Murdoch’s lawyer, Robert S. Cohen, and Ms Hall’s lawyer, Judy Poller, told Britain’s Mirror newspaper in a joint statement.

It followed reports earlier on Thursday that actress and former supermodel, 65, had asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to cancel the divorce petition she filed just five weeks ago.

The latest documents were claimed to have been filed by Ms Hall’s Los Angeles lawyer Ronald Brot last Tuesday. Details of why Ms Hall sought the dismissal, or if the couple had agreed to settle out of court, were not available.

Confirmation the split between the 91-year-old media mogul and his fourth wife had been finalised came just weeks after The New York Timesbroke the news in late June that their six-year marriage was over.

Mr Murdoch’s decision to end his marriage to Ms Hall reportedly took her completely by surprise. She responded by filing for divorce on July 1 in Los Angeles – rather than Britain, where they had married in a low-key ceremony in March 2016.
