In 1987 Deng met an American businessman and his wife, Jake and Joyce Cherry,[5] who had temporarily relocated to China to help build a refrigerator factory.[5] Deng asked the couple for tutoring lessons in English, which Joyce eventually provided.[5] In 1988, she abandoned her medical studies and travelled to the United States to study, with the Cherrys sponsoring Deng's student visa.[5] Deng enrolled at California State University, Northridge, where she studied economics and was among the top 1% of students.[5][6]

After studying at Cal State Northridge, Deng attended business school at Yale University.


Personal life
 

Husband Rupert Murdoch and Wendi in 2011
After entering the United States, Deng lived with the Cherry family for a while when attending university. Mrs. Cherry suspected her husband was having an affair with Deng (30 years his junior) and demanded she leave the house. Mr. Cherry soon followed and moved in with her.[5] The two married in 1990.[4] Deng and Cherry's marriage lasted 2 years and 7 months before they were legally divorced,[5] but he would later explain they only stayed together for 4 or 5 months,[4] after which he learned of the extramarital relationship Deng had with David Wolf.[4] Nonetheless, she had been able to secure a green card through being legally married to Cherry.[4][5]

In 1997, Deng met Rupert Murdoch at a company party in Hong Kong.[6] Deng and Murdoch married in 1999,[11] less than three weeks after his divorce from ex-wife Anna Maria Torv Murdoch Mann was finalized.[11] They live in Manhattan with their two daughters: Grace Helen Murdoch (born 2001) and Chloe Murdoch (born 2005). Deng is pro-vegan.[12]
