Last month, we learned that Rupert Murdoch, 84, has started dating Jerry Hall, 59. While there is a 25-year age difference and that ordinarily would make me roll my eyes, I kind of enjoy the idea of Rupert and Jerry, or “Jupert” as the British tabloids are calling them now. Jupert have already been out and about before now, but on Friday, they were photographed out on a date night in London. Ah, crusty love. Ever since Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp split, I’ve been waiting for a new Crusty Love situation to happen, and it has. Jupert may even be the best Crusty Love situation of all time.
There’s so much to love in these photos, isn’t there? I love that she’s wearing sparkly flats on her Friday date-night. I love the fact that she’s is trying to dress the part of a woman dating Rupert Murdoch – she looks like she’s wearing an ensemble from The Republican First Ladies’ Collection. Considering Rupert’s last wife was trying to be a fashion plate, he probably appreciates the fact that Jerry isn’t trying to wear the latest designers and the most eye-catching styles. I also love the fact that in some of these photos, it looks like Rupert is already mad at her and he’s bitching her out in front of the cameras. Crusty Love means never needing to play to the cameras!
What else is there to say? I hope they last forever. I hope he marries her. I hope – and this is a very sincere hope – that Jerry is getting some jewelry out of this. Cranky octogenarian media titans may come and go, but marquis-cut canary diamonds are forever.
