Jake and Joyce Cherry hosted Deng in their home during her studies in the United States. Later, Jake Cherry left his wife,[15] and married Wendi Deng in 1990.[45] While married to Cherry, Wendi obtained a green card.[15][45] Their marriage lasted 2 years and 7 months when they divorced.[15] Jake later said that they stayed together for only four to five months when he learned that Deng was spending time with David Wolf, a man closer to her age.[45]
In 1997, she met Rupert Murdoch, who is 37 years her senior, while working as an executive at the Murdoch-owned Star TV in Hong Kong.[9] They married in 1999[46] on board his yacht "Morning Glory",[47] less than three weeks after the finalization of his divorce from his second wife, Anna Murdoch.[48][49][50] The couple had two children, Grace (born 2001) and Chloe (born 2003). Tony Blair is Grace Murdoch's godfather.[51] In June 2013, Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce from Deng, citing irreconcilable differences.[52]
On July 19, 2011, Wendi Murdoch attacked Jonathan May-Bowles (comedian Jonnie Marbles) after he threw a pie at her husband Rupert Murdoch while he was giving testimony before a British parliamentary committee considering the News International phone hacking scandal.[53] May-Bowles was subsequently sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment.[54]
In February 2014, The Daily Telegraph and Vanity Fair alleged that Wendi Murdoch might have had an affair with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.[55][49] An article in The Economist claimed that as a result of Rupert Murdoch's suspicion that Blair had an affair with his wife, he ended his long-standing association with Blair in 2014.[56]
In early 2018, The Wall Street Journal published a story suggesting that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump,[57] longtime friends of Murdoch, were warned by US intelligence agencies that Murdoch may be using her relationship with them to further the goals of the Chinese government.[58] Michael Wolff, author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, posited that the article was an attempt by Rupert Murdoch, owner of The Wall Street Journal, to spread the idea that "Wendi is a Chinese spy" in the aftermath of their acrimonious divorce.[59]
