  • Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch have finalized their divorce, their attorneys said.

  • The news was made public after a legal document suggested Hall tried to cancel the divorce.

  • The media mogul and former model were married six years, and have a 25-year age gap.

Rupert Murdoch and former model Jerry Hall are no longer married, their lawyers said Wednesday.

The pair announced the news in the wake of a report that Hall had attempted, apparently without success, to call the divorce off.

The divorce was confirmed in a joint statement to Insider by Murdoch's lawyer Robert S. Cohen and Hall's lawyer Judy Poller.

"Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch have finalized their divorce. They remain good friends and wish each other the best for the future," said the statement.

The announcement came hours after reports that Hall had filed to a Los Angeles court to cancel the divorce petition she had submitted in June. It's unclear why she would have made that request.
