Jerry Hall has revealed she hasn't seen Rupert Murdoch since their divorce.

The couple's six-year union ended abruptly in 2022 when the media mogul, 95, sent her an email stating that he had 'sadly decided to call an end to our marriage'.

And it seems time hasn't been a healer, with the pair having no contact since their divorce was finalised.

Speaking about the split to British Vogue, Jerry, 69, said that 'going through a divorce is always traumatic', adding: 'Not all exes you want to be friends with, do you? Some people aren’t friendly.

'I think when you have children with someone it’s important to be friendly. Rupert, we were married six and half years and no children, and so, you know...'

Yet she has four children with Sir - daughters, Elizabeth and Georgia May, and sons, James and Gabriel - and their relationship is still friendly.

Conversely, Jerry insisted that she holds no ill will towards her first husband Mick Jagger and that the pair are still friends (pictured with their daughter Georgia May in 2014)

The couple were famously together for 22 years until she filed for divorce in 1999 when Mick fathered a child with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez during their marriage.

Yet despite the ugly breakup, Jerry insisted that she holds no ill will towards him and that the pair are still friends.

She called him a 'brilliant' granddad, noting that all the children love his fiancée, choreographer , 38.

'He comes out here quite a bit, Sunday lunch, him and Mel and their son, Dev,' she explained. 'They’re so sweet.

'Mick’s a great diplomat. All the kids love each other. All the mothers of the kids love each other. It’s just odd, isn’t it? Just worked out that way.'

Now, Jerry is happily single, and admitted she 'kind of can't be bothered' to date.

She explained: I’m very, very happy. I don’t feel I’m missing anything. I like men’s company but I don’t actually think I’ll ever want to live with one of them again.'

Jerry is not believed to have dated since splitting from Rupert four years ago.

She was said to be heartbroken when on the afternoon of June 6, 2022, Jerry was at her London house nursing a terrible case of food poisoning when she checked her phone and saw an email from Rupert.

‘Jerry, sadly I’ve decided to call an end to our marriage,’ the message began. ‘We have certainly had some good times, but I have much to do... my New York lawyer will be contacting yours immediately.’

When she settled into the Oxfordshire home she received in the divorce, she discovered 32 surveillance cameras were still sending footage back to the headquarters of Murdoch’s TV behemoth Fox.

She called on ex Mick, who sent his security consultant to disconnect them.

Four months later, Jerry received a shock when newspaper's around the world printed photos of him on holiday in Barbados with new girlfriend Ann Lesley Smith.

On March 17, 2023, Rupert proposed to Ann Lesley with an 11-carat diamond engagement ring said to be worth upward of $2.5 million. The wedding was planned for summer.

She was a 66-year-old former dental hygienist turned conservative radio host with conspiracy-style politics, who had found God after her first marriage ended in divorce.

However, they never made it down the aisle, with Rupert calling off the wedding two weeks later after allegedly feeling uncomfortable with her extreme evangelical views.

Five months later, Rupert had a new girlfriend: 66-year-old retired Russian biologist Elena Zhukova, whom he quickly made his fifth wife.
