At age 93, Rupert Murdoch is once again a newlywed.

The media mogul and former News Corp executive chairman married girlfriend Elena Zhukova on Saturday, a representative for Murdoch confirmed to USA TODAY.

Photos from the wedding day, which were shared with USA TODAY, showed Murdoch posing with the bride as she held a bouquet of flowers. The ceremony took place at Murdoch's California vineyard and estate.

Murdoch revealed his engagement to Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist, in March, just days ahead of his 93rd birthday. According to The Guardian, the couple met at a gathering hosted by Wendi Deng, Murdoch's third wife. They have been together since last summer, The New York Times reported.

In September, Murdoch stepped down from his roles as chair of Fox Corporation and executive chairman of News Corp. He was succeeded by his son Lachlan.

"Neither excessive pride nor false humility are admirable qualities," Murdoch said at the time. "But I am truly proud of what we have achieved collectively through the decades, and I owe much to my colleagues, whose contributions to our success have sometimes been unseen outside the company but are deeply appreciated by me."
