News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce Thursday
(June 13th) in New York
from his third wife, Wendi Deng Murdoch, who he married in 1999, citing a
breakdown in the relationship.
The 82-year-old Murdoch and 44-year-old Wendi have two
daughters, 11-year-old Grace and 9-year-old Chloe. Murdoch also has four older
children from his previous marriages.
The divorce filing
comes just one week before News Corp. began the process of splitting into two
companies, one that will contain a publishing division and Australian TV
assets, and another for the global TV and movie businesses.
Chinese-born Wendi Deng met Murdoch when she was working as a junior executive at News Corp.'s subsidiary Star TV inHong
Kong .
A spokesperson for former British prime minister Tony Blair flatly denied media rumors that Wendi Murdoch was romantically involved with him.
When contacted by The Hollywood Reporter, the rep said: "If you are asking if they are having an affair, the answer is no."
