Murdoch and Deng, who are separated by 38 years and several billion dollars, were married in 1999 and have two children together. The large age gap has always been a topic of chatter when it comes to couple, but the most famous moment of their marriage came in 2011, when a comedian/prankster tried to throw a cream pie at Murdoch during a Parliamentary hearing. Deng leapt to his defense and then slapped the pastry assailant.
