Rupert Murdoch reportedly has a 'terminal' rift with Tony Blair over the former prime minister's relationship with the media mogul's ex-wife Wendi Deng.
Blair has always said that his relationship with Deng is platonic.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, despite efforts by Blair to contact Murdoch, the media mogul refused to speak to him.
Sources close to Murdoch in London said that Blair and Deng had 'multiple encounters' without the mogul's knowledge.
They are said to have stayed overnight at Murdoch's California home on weekends in October 2012 and April 2013.
They even spent a weekend at Murdoch's Los Angeles home and had several meetings in London and New York.
