本周四一位发言人向ABC新闻的记者证实，国际传媒大亨默多克向其妻子邓文迪提出离婚，这段14年的婚姻走到尽头。

Murdoch, 82, chairman and chief executive officer of News Corp., married Deng, 44, in 1999 in New York City.
现年82岁的默多克是新闻集团的主席以及执行长官，他和44岁的邓文迪于1999年在纽约市结婚。

A spokesman for News Corp. said the court filing describes that their relationship had broken down irretrievably in the last six months.

They met in 1997 when she worked for Murdoch's Star Television in China. Murdoch and Deng have two young daughters, Grace and Chloe, who were born in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Murdoch had two previous marriages and has four adult children.
