Rupert Murdoch Ex Wendi Deng Dating Russian President Vladimir Putin? [WATCH]

Australian-born American media proprietor Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife Wendi Deng is in the news for being spotted with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The rumors are swirling around that Putin is currently dating media mogul Murdoch's former wife, Deng. The Chinese-born American businesswoman was married to Murdoch for 14 years before the couple divorced in 2013. Soon after her divorce, rumors started to swirl that after Putin's divorce with Lyudmila Shkrebneva in 2014, she started hanging out with him.

Us Weekly reported that a source close to Putin admitted that the ongoing relationship between the powerful leader and Deng is getting serious. Putin is noted for keeping his personal life away from the media news, so one can only imagine how long it will take them to officially comment on their relationship.

The report from Us Weekly further states that soon after Putin's divorce, he was linked with a Russian gymnast, Alina Kabaeva. Their alleged relationship was the talk of the town when Kabaeva was rumored to be pregnant in early 2015. Kabaeva went to Switzerland to give birth to her child but Putin has denied all the rumors, calling the reports nothing but a journalistic hoax.

"I am planning to appeal to people who have money to organize a competition for best journalistic hoax," a representative from the President's office stated.

Furthermore, a report from Movie News Guide stated that last week, Deng was spotted with Putin on her friend Roman Abramovich's yacht at St. Bart's and the rumored couple were looking good together. Not only this, Chelsea Football Club's chairman Abramovich has recently gifted the Russian President with a $35 million yacht.

A source close to the magazine was quoted by The Daily Beast as responding:

"Deng has yet to be spotted looking romantic with the Russian leader, but was seen boarding her pal Roman Abramovich's yacht in St. Bart's on Monday, March 28."
