Cherie Blair has angrily insisted her husband Tony did not have an affair with Rupert Murdoch’s wife.
Unfounded rumours about the former Prime Minister swept the internet after it was revealed media tycoon Mr Murdoch is divorcing stunning Wendi Deng, 44.
But sources close to barrister Cherie – mum to Mr Blair’s four children – have told the Sunday People she is certain her husband was not intimate with Wendi.
One said: “Cherie isn’t having any of it. She knows these rumours are absolute nonsense.
“She trusts Tony implicitly and knows he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her or their kids. She is bemused and baffled by the whole thing.
Cherie has been telling those close to her that she is upset that people would say such things.
“Besides, Tony wouldn’t dare. He’s too scared of Cherie.
Both the Blairs are close friends of the Murdochs. And Tony is godfather to their daughter Grace.
A spokesman said on Friday after Mr Blair, 60, was dragged into the divorce mystery surrounding billionaire Mr Murdoch, 82, and Wendi.
In response to a piece written on US website Hollywood Reporter, the spokesman said: “If you are asking if they are having an affair, the answer is no.”
Mr Blair became close to Mr Murdoch during his time as Labour Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007.
He was present at nine-year-old Grace’s star-studded baptism ceremony on the banks of the River Jordan in 2010.
While pictures of the event appeared in Hello! magazine, there was no mention of Mr Blair’s involvement.
News Corp boss Mr Murdoch revealed on Thursday that he and Wendi were divorcing after 14 years of marriage.
Papers filed in New York said that their relationship had “broken down irretrievably”.
The couple met at a party in Hong Kong.
Wendi is known best for punching a protestor who threw a foam pie at her husband during a Parliamentary hearing into phone hacking two years ago.
