Wendi Deng fascinates me. She’s gone from the young “Tiger wife” of Rupert Murdoch to the alleged mistress of Tony Blair and Vladimir Putin, to her current situation… which is sort of a socialite/hostess/professional friend to the rich and famous. She’s tight with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, because she played matchmaker for them. She’s tight with most media figures in New York. She’s friendly with a lot of the fashion people too. But it’s not all dinner-hostessing, power-dating and oligarch-lover-juggling. Apparently, Wendi has a new boyfriend… and he’s 21 years old. Wendi is 48 years old. Oh, Wendi.
New year, new man! Wendi Deng, the ex-wife of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, rang in 2017 with 21-year-old Hungarian model Bertold Zahoran, who made their relationship Instagram official on Sunday with a photo in which the duo are smiling and holding hands.
Zahoran captioned the snap with wishes for a happy new year in several different languages.
The 48-year-old businesswoman and her new beau spent the holiday weekend in St. Barts with her daughters — Grace, 15, and Chloe, 13 — from her relationship with Murdoch. The couple spent time strolling on the beach hand in hand. Although Deng did not share a photo with Zahoran, she posted photos with each of her children during the getaway. The Murdoch daughters posted a picture jumping into the crystal-blue water with supermodel Karlie Kloss during the trip.
My guess is that Wendi has reached that stage of every society woman’s life where she no longer gives a crap about leveraging herself to get high-powered lovers. Like, Wendi doesn’t want to bang “men of the world” anymore. Now she wants to take it easy and just have a young, pleasant boy-toy, just something pretty to look at. And this kid Bertold Zahoran IS pretty. He’s got a nice body too. Perfect boy-toy material, I’d say. More power to her. Granted, the age difference is not great, but no one says this is forever.

I would buy her memoirs in a heartbeat. That’s some life she’s had.
I wanna know if she really dated Putin.
Me too.
‘She’s tight with most media figures in New York.’ I wonder about this – surely the New York media types went to Rupert in the divorce? If for no other reason then because he runs shit?
I just do not understand, when I’m at home in Hungary never see boys like him.
Ohh you’re just looking in the wrong place 😉 Plenty of beauties in Budapest, although most have moved to London now. Try Best On The Brat on a weekend! Hipster hotties all over.
“Beer & A Brat”
What an interesting life!!! Didn’t she hit someone in the face over Murdoch once? The stories she could tell!!! I would buy her memoirs too. Well go Wendi with your toy boy. She looks fantastic too.
I believe she slapped/pushed a prankster who was about to chuck a pie in Rupert’s face while he was testifying to parliament about his newspaper’s antics hacking a dead girls voicemails…or something like that…I can’t bring myself to look this up to confirm. Basically she and her ex husband are both scum of the earth – regardless of how good she looks.
I don’t like her husband either, I just find her rise socially interesting. That’s right it was over the pie incident.
Her story is the stuff of 80s miniseries inspired by Jackie Collins/Judith Krantz/Barbara Taylor Bradford. It’s fascinating.
She is deplorable, since a young age she has gone after rich married men to elevate herself, it’s gross. I would rather read a memoir from a women who succeed based on intelligence and drive.
Gross, deplorable whatever you want to call it, it’s still fascinating.
Totally. She is completely fascinating.
Oh you are right Judith Krantz material, totally.
@lak
I read all of Judith Kranz!!! Wondering if the young’uns on here have read Dominick Dunne’s books and articles in Vanity Fair. That man could write about some scandalous families, and then he turned to powerful people getting away with crime. He was brilliant, I couldn’t stop reading the Two Mrs Grenvilles or Mansions of Limbo. Would love love love an interview/profile from him on Wendi.
Age is just a number he whispered in her ear as she handed him her credit card. Hooking up Ivanka and her husband speaks volumes. This relationship will last as long as trump’s yellow hair between colorings. I don’t care about the age difference, I don’t like her or her friends. The End.
Bleh, 21 is just too young. I’m 28 and I wouldn’t want to date a 21 year old. I have no problem with her dating young, but I would want a guy without a college mentality.
Especially when you’re traveling with your 15 year old daughter.
This. When your boyfriend is closer in age to your offspring than you, it’s a a problem.
I think the word “dating” is over used around here. That word implies an actual interest in each other beyond their genitals or at the very least dinner and flowers. But she is probably banging him not “dating” him. All that matters in that context is how well he throws it not his mentality.
Well she’s bringing him on vacations with her teenager daughters. I don’t care if she’s dating/hooking up/friends, I still wouldn’t want to do anything above with a 21 year old. It’s not like guys at 21 are known for their sexual prowess.
Holy pearl clutching! She isnt riding him infront of her kids, sheesh. And teenage kids should know by now that mums can have recreational sex if they want. Also 21 year olds ARE known for stamina and staying power. Male sexuality peaks in the mid 20s. Technique comes from either experience or a good teacher, and I’m betting Wendi is giving nightly tutorials 😉
I got together with a 22 year old when I was 33 – we have been together 9 years and are now married (very happily). That said, I think he is kind of the exception that proves the rule (an “old soul” type). It is interesting though – I have numerous male friends who are with women with similar age gap (or more) and my relationship (at least at the outset) was subject to a lot more scrutiny – by way of example, a lot of questions along the lines of “who pays?” (I earn a lot more money, partly because I am 11 years older and partly because I am in a higher paying profession – lawyer v teacher – there was a lot of “head-tilting” concern that I was being taken for a ride that never seemed to come up with my guy friends). The experience has really underlined (for me) entrenched bias as to what a relationship “should” look like, which reflects traditional assumptions around gender roles.
Wake me in two years when you get tired of dating men your age. All the ones that are left over are the ones that are left over for a reason. That being said I can’t date 21 anymore, the ones I had were duds. Sometimes you want pretty and nice to look at but their crap gets boring 🙄
Why bring that around your kids?
Probably first time she’s enjoyed sex…in a while.
Bingo.
LOL
HA!
Good for her!
Oh Wendi ( and really I Loathe to But at the same time I HONK for Wendi Deng Stories) … She has arrive at the Ivanna Trump portion of her love life… I Mean I can’t even front like I Hate it, Having money and time to just look hot world travel and on top of that get the prettiest piece to Carry on with?! Lord the stamina of Young Genes… Ooff! *fans self* (I hope at least she is picking them talented at the bedding arts cause i’m fairly sure pretty is only going to last Wendi a couple weeks)
I think she might be my spirit animal. Minus the part where I think she might actually be evil.
Me too.
Same TBH, I can’t ever look away, I Look for her ridiculous Interviews she is Chutzpah personified
She slapped a bitch for getting shitty with her man. She’s got wealth out the arse. Which she uses in good taste on excellent dresses and shoes. This is under ratedly hard. She goes to fancy parties, looks super hot and now has a boy toy piece with abs her maids could do the laundry on. Shes a bad bitch in her own right who does not apologise.
Can we clockwork orange her so she comes back from the dark side? Just imagine the Putin stories she has.
CAN WE DO THIS FOR A MINUTE DETRITUS?!??! : Cause YES! for her to be as wealthy as she is and be who we know her to be but keep it elegant ( I mean lets think of Ivanna, Leona, Um , Joan Collins, Catlady… Is really hard to get to their age group and dating habits without in essence looking a bit of a gaudy hot mess, and she is doing it!, ditto for the careful rearrangement of her features I mean her DR and Sharon Stone’s …*applause*… Go On Wendi, to money well spent in a tropical Island Schutpping a young guy
Does anyone know details of why and what led to the Wendy/Rupert divorce?
Seems Wendy likes to get under Rupe’s skin.
She may or may not have had an affair with Tony Blair. Either way, she hid their private meetings from Rupert. When he found out, he investigated, didn’t like what he found which included notes/diary of Wendi musing about Tony’s hot body (eewww!) and he divorced her.
VF magazine had a salacious article about it….
http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2014/03/wendi-deng-note-tony-blair
Wasn’t it his strong thighs she rhapsodized about? Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeewwwww
Thanks!
She rhapsodized about his butt!
She’s such an interesting woman…imagine the stories she could tell.
Indeed.
She is just waiting for Rupert to die and for the kids not to be babies anymore…
She should also include how she got an American couple to sponsor her to America and then she broke up that marriage but entering into an affair with the husband. I believe her first hubby was an older man too.
Well now we’ll see if the tables will turn for her. Frankly, I find her awful.
I never believed the Putin story…Blair, sure, but not Putin. I’m sure he goes for youth as well.
If a hot 21 year old was willing to date me, I would totally do it. lol Then again, I am 35 and my boyfriend is 25. 🙂
I’m surprised everyone’s all for this. If he was 48 and she 21 I don’t think it would get the same response.
For what it’s worth, I don’t have an issue with it.
You know, I always wondered why people got pissed at older men dating younger women too. Who cares? Unless its pedophilia, then let people date who they want to date.
I think if this seemed like a long term relationship were she was moulding the young dude to be her caretaker and f*ckpiece, I’d be a bit more upset. Also, if I didn’t view her like a cartoon villian. Also, if this wasn’t counter the regular narrative of older ladies never boning and being dried up old hags who no one wants. Also, if I wasn’t a hypocritical.
I fully own up to my hypocrisy on this couple vis a vis their age difference, but i justify it by the distraction of her cartoon life. This is one more notch in a laundry list of events in her life that are comment worthy.
Good for her! You go, Wendi!
She worked hard for that money. She spent years with Rupert Murdoch. Good on her for taking it easy and finding herself a boy toy.
Murdoch was old enough to be her grandfather. That’s right, not just her father, her GRANDFATHER. As was Clint Eastwood to Dina.
You can rationalize up to about 31 years difference. Bo Derek and her husband had the biggest age gap of any couple who seemed to be the real deal. Anything more is out of the question.
While I would normally tell a woman in her situation to go for it, I have a feeling she’ll suck his soul dry like a fashionable dementor somewhere over the Riviera. That woman is the definition of amoral-he needs to make a run for it.
Eh cliche as all hell. I wouldn’t want to know that woman as a rattle snake is more trusting than this one. Read the article detailing how she destroyed the marriage of the people who brought her into America. Ended up sleeping with and dating her “father” figure….yes the man destroyed his marriage as well but can’t deny it went according to her plan. She earned every penny on her back and can’t really respect that but again she’s cliche as hell.
Best response from my typically straightforward Hungarian partner – ‘Good for her, embarrassing for him’.
So Wendi, boy-toy, and her kids on vacation, then randomly Karli Kloss? Hm. Karli has been dating Jared Kushner’s bro forever, so likely he was there. Makes me suspect Ivanka and Jared as well, since that’s the connection. Interesting.
Yep. Caught that too.
I figured she’d go younger after being married to Rupert.
Eww! Eww! Eww!
She says in the article that she’s never even met Putin.
Mark my words she will have her fun and then she will marry another rich, age appropiate, powerfull and possibily a billionaire man. She is just regrouping. We tend to forget that she is a highly intelligent woman. She actually earned degrees which I’m to lazy to google now. She probably hates to stay on the side as a socialite. For a month vacation I would pay a 21 year old to have fun
She’s getting some good sex I bet! LOL
He loves her……………….bank account.
I don’t know who’s this woman (neither see why the fascination over ladies here) but the idea of calling a person “toy” is somewhat gross for me, just like hooking up with someone just for money.
But the first thing I noticed in the picture is that she looks better than him.
You can add professional gold digger to her list of job titles. Also, that dress makes her look frumpy, which in turn, accentuates the mom vibe.
