Rupert Murdoch has revealed that his divorce from Wendi Deng, who allegedly had an affair with Tony Blair, was very "stressful".
In an interview with Fortune magazine, the 83-year-old media mogul admitted that he was "shocked" when he got to know that his former wife kept diary entries about the former British Prime Minister, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
The News Corporation chief has confessed that he first learned of the alleged relationship between Deng and Blair while he was on a trip to Australia, and he filed for divorce within a week, in November last year.
According to Vanity Fair magazine, Murdoch's wife of 14-years reportedly praised Blair's "good body and really really good legs", however, the British Labour Party politician has always denied he had an affair with Deng.
