"I dreaded falling in love — but I knew this would be my last," the 92-year-old media mogul said in an interview announcing his engagement last month.
  • Rupert Murdoch is no longer engaged to former model and conservative radio host Ann Lesley Smith. 
  • The pair announced their engagement two weeks ago.
  • Murdoch, who owns Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, has been married four times in the past.

"It's a sad, sad day when love dies," Roman Roy, a character on HBO's "Succession," which is loosely based on the life of the Murdoch family, prophetically said in the first episode of the latest season. 

Today seems to be one of those days.
