Elena Zhukova

Elena Zhukova, born in Moscow in January 1957, is a retired molecular biologist who dedicated her career to diabetes research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). After leaving Russia in 1991, she has lived in America for over three decades. Elena Zhukova and media magnate Rupert Murdoch met through a mutual friend, his third wife, Wendi Deng. The couple tied the knot in June 2024 at Murdoch’s California estate, Moraga. The ceremony took place at his vineyard, where Zhukova wore a form-fitting, mid-length white Emilia Wickstead dress, and Murdoch opted for a classic black suit.
