Things To Know About Wendi Deng, Putin's New Lady

May 2024 · 1 minute read

No matter who Deng dates, she'll forever be tied to her ex-husbands, billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch and much lesser known businessman Jake Cherry. According to The Wall Street Journal, Deng met the Cherry family—a married couple with young kids—in her native China and moved with them to Los Angeles in 1988, at age 19, to go to school. She wound up having an affair with Mr. Cherry, whom she married in 1990. According to the article, that union lasted less than three years. Deng married Murdoch in 1999 and together they had two kids: Grace (2001) and Chloe (2003). Fourteen years later, Murdoch filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

The power couple's marriage often took abuse from the media. Some gossip sites suggested Deng was unfaithful to Murdoch, who is nearly 38 years her senior. Others speculated that Grace's godfather, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, was to blame for the duo's demise, though there has been no confirmation that Deng and Blair were more than friends.
