Less than two years after Wendi Deng made headlines for trying to puch an activist who had attacked her husband, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, with a shaving foam pie, the couple have filed for divorce.
Wendi Deng was born in 1969, the year Rupert Murdoch bought the News of the World - the now defunct 168-year-old British tabloid.
She was born Chinese. And she was born Deng Wen Ge, named after the cultural revolution. She is said to have changed her name to Wendi as a teen.
She schooled in China and was sponsored in 1988 for a student visa to study in the US at the California State University. Thereafter she got her MBA degree from Yale University. She had been married and divorced by then.
In 1996, Wendi moved to Hong Kong and life reportedly changed on the flight there. She met Bruce Churchill on the flight and got a position as an intern at Star TV.
Ms Deng met Rupert two years later, in 1998. She was a junior executive at SkyTV, all of 29 years old. He was 67.
She wed Murdoch in 1999, merely 17 days after his divorce from his second wife Anna came through.
She has been in the spotlight ever since, as the fashionable wife of the media baron.
In November 2011, she made headlines when she fell over trying to defend her husband from a foam-pie attack, at a televised hearing of the News of the World phone-hacking scandal.
She lives in Manhattan with her two daughters - Chole and Grace.
