They are engaged!!! When I first read it I thought it was a joke!!! but apparently it's true!!!!! Weird isn't it? Can't think of a more unlikely couple (but I'm sure you lot can!)

Couldn't possibly be the reputed £7bn he has in his bank account could it? hmm

The other thread is 'Congratulations' so it's not easy to tell that it is about the happy couple.

She's a glamorous lady. What's she thinking?! There must be (for her), finer fish in the sea.

Teetime Tue 12-Jan-16 16:41:11

I think she likes powerful men.

Makes me feel just a little bit sick- somehow. Jerry, what on earth are you thinking about (surely not the money, you've got enough)!

Reminds me of the reaction when Jackie Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis.

As my partner often comments in these situations at least he won't trouble her much in the bedroom department or at least I hope not! I suppose it's a bit like Nigella and Mr Saatchi and look how that turned out. I always thought Jerry would go for a much younger man. Do you remember that scene in Sex and the City when Samantha decides to get it together with a much older man until she sees his unclothed rear view.

Pur lease - take that picture away shock

Maybe he has hidden talent, nudge nudge. Oh now I feel nauseated.

A 25 year difference and there are many 60 year olds marrying 35'year olds. I am sure Jerry's ex partner Mick Jaquer has relationships with this difference. Many big men stars marry women more than 25 their junior and this is how those couples,will be when the men get older to 84. For me the problem is I remember him pleading age and fragility when he appeared at the phone hacking enquiry, now he is happy and smiling proposing another marriage.

What does it have to do with anyone else?

f77ms Wed 13-Jan-16 08:34:13

A question I would ask is ..... Jerry , what attracted you to the Billionaire Rupert Murdoch ?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 13-Jan-16 09:38:53

It's slightly amusing that posters object vigorously to a few hours of television time given over to the death of a pop icon, whilst continuing several threads about these two. Really confused

I thought Jerry Hall looked lovely in her wedding dress today and very happy too.

I must admit Bill Wyman looked a wreck, pleasant chap though have seen him playing with his Rhythm Kings.

Badenkate Sat 05-Mar-16 15:49:31

I'm sure that is a thought that has occurred to many of us f77ms wink

NotTooOld Sat 05-Mar-16 17:51:31

And after Brian Ferry and Mick Jagger, too.................sigh.

Lona Sat 05-Mar-16 17:58:27

Well, they both look very happy, so good luck to them! Plus she can wave V at Mick! wink

Jalima Sat 05-Mar-16 18:00:49

But at least this one has married Jerry grin
And I hope she'll be very happy

can't see the attraction in any of them myself £££

bookdreamer Sat 05-Mar-16 18:31:28

I just thought how happy they both looked.

I think she is rich enough in her own right.

Good luck and much happiness to them.

BBbevan Sat 05-Mar-16 18:36:32

As my Mum would have said "I wouldn't go to the foot of our stairs."

Ana Sat 05-Mar-16 18:39:18

I agree, she's made millions as a Supermodel, why on earth would she feel the need to marry him for his money? That old Mrs Merton joke is getting very tired...

Good luck to them - I hope they'll be very happy together.

merlotgran Sat 05-Mar-16 18:41:21

I think she looked lovely. Quite natural for a change.

Jomarie Sat 05-Mar-16 21:30:04

Ah well, each to their own.
