The News Corp chairman and chief executive's wife, 35-year-old Wendi Deng, gave birth to the couple's second child, a girl named Chloe, in New York on Thursday, reports say.
Murdoch's first daughter (from this marriage), Grace Helen, was born in November 2001. Murdoch has four children from his previous two marriages, Prudence, Lachlan, James and Elisabeth.
Murdoch married Deng, a former employee at News Corp's Asian subsidiary Star TV, in 1999. Deng joined Star TV in the mid-90s and rose rapidly through the ranks. It was on one of Murdoch's visits to Hong Kong that the two reportedly met.
