Murdoch and Zhukova were married Saturday at his Bel -Air estate.
Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch tied the knot with Elena Zhukova at his private California vineyard on Saturday in a joyous ceremony attended by close family and friends.

The wedding was held at Moraga, Murdoch’s Bel-Air, Calif., estate, Saturday afternoon. The property, which is filled with Mediterranean-inspired architecture, includes several vineyards. Murdoch bought the property in 2013.
The couple was surrounded by close family and friends, and official wedding photographs showed Zhukova in an elegant white dress clutching a bouquet of Lily of the Valley flowers, while Murdoch wore a dark suit and yellow tie.
The pair announced their engagement in March.
