And yet, during the past year, what people have most noticed is their closeness. She had seemed to become his key adviser, close enough that there has been speculation she would go on the board of the newspaper company being split from the larger entertainment company.

She had also become, to his children's ever-greater consternation, his gatekeeper. Outsiders did not get to Rupert without going through Wendi.

But now the split is dramatic. As harsh as the split from Anna.

And in the fashion that Rupert does things – peremptorily, wrathfully, implacably – it would seem to leave Wendi far out in the cold. There is her 1999 pre-nup, and, to boot, two post-nups. What's more, it is a fearsome thing when News Corp and the Murdoch family close their ranks against you. Indeed, it is not that easy to hire a law firm not conflicted out by its work for News Corp, or the promise of work. Her PR aide, Steven Rubenstein, is on Rupert's payroll – so his help disappears.

Except, of course, that Wendi knows all Murdoch's secrets. All of them.

当1998年鲁伯特·默多克突然宣布与31岁的妻子安娜·默多克

但是他交到了。他的离婚、再婚，及其对他孩子、社交生活及高级主管的影响，都会塑造默多克公司的下一代——可以说成是我们这个时代的罗曼史。

默多克草率快速地声明向邓文迪提出离婚申请，当时两人相遇时，邓文迪年仅28岁，在默多克的香港公司星空卫视工作。这一举动又激起千层浪。
