23. "'I've never even MET Putin': Wendi Murdoch hits back at rumors she is dating Russian president..."

It was probably just a fling. Sounds like he dumped her in this July 25 Daily Mail story (echoed by People):

An insider close to the Russian leader, who divorced his wife in 2013, said the relationship between the two had become 'serious,'US Weekly reported.

But the 47-year-old businesswoman ridiculed the rumors, telling Vogue she 'never even met Putin'.

'But wow, so much press about it,' she laughed. 'Why did they choose me?''
