On March 4, 2016, Hall married media business magnate Rupert Murdoch in a ceremony at the Church of England church of St Bride's, Fleet Street
This mixes up the couple’s civil wedding and their church celebration. Hall and Murdoch married in a civil ceremony on March 4, 2016; St Bride’s hosted a service of prayers and thanksgiving on March 5, 2016.
Full reasoning
St Bride’s own account says the church hosted Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall on Saturday, March 5, 2016 for a "service of prayers and thanksgiving" and that the couple "had been married in a civil ceremony the previous day." CBS/AP likewise reported that they married Friday, March 4, 2016 at Spencer House and were due to hold a celebration ceremony Saturday at St Bride’s. So the article is wrong to say that the March 4 marriage itself took place at St Bride’s; that church event was the next day and was a blessing/celebration, not the civil wedding.

she performed in six shows before 9,124 theatregoers in London's West End
The attendance figure is wrong. Contemporary reports of Hall’s record night say she performed before 9,214 theatregoers, not 9,124.
Full reasoning
Multiple reports on Jerry Hall’s February 24, 2004 West End record state that the audience total was 9,214. London Theatre says she "performed in front of 9,214 theatregoers," and Playbill likewise says she "entertained 9,214 theatregoers in the one night." The article’s 9,124 figure appears to be a digit transposition.
