Jerry Hall has officially filed for divorce from billionaire husband Rupert Murdoch six years after the pair married.
- Ms Hall has filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences"
- She has also sought spousal support from Mr Murdoch
- The marriage was Mr Murdoch's fourth and Ms Hall's second
The 65-year-old model and actress filed a petition in the Superior Court of California, citing "irreconcilable differences" as legal grounds for divorce.
In her petition, she also sought unspecified spousal support from 91-year-old media mogul Mr Murdoch and wants him to pay for her attorney's fees.
She said in the petition she was "unaware of the full nature and extent of all [Mr Murdoch's] assets and debts, and will amend this petition when the information has been ascertained."
Ms Hall's attorney, Ronald Brot, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Mr Murdoch and Ms Hall married in a low-key ceremony in central London's Spencer House in March 2016.
It was Mr Murdoch's fourth marriage and Ms Hall's second.
