It is reported that Elena met Murdoch through the introduction of her daughter Dasha. And Dasha is the ex-wife of Russian businessman and former Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich. According to other sources, Murdoch and Elena met through the joint introduction of Murdoch's ex-wife Wendy Deng and Dasha. According to reports, Dasha and Deng Wendi are very good friends.
It is understood that Elena is a retired molecular biologist and an authoritative expert in the field of diabetes. She had two marriages. In 1991, after divorcing her first husband, Russian oil tycoon Alexander, she moved to the United States with her then 10-year-old Dasha and lived there for over 30 years. Before retiring, she was a medical expert at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Elena's daughter Dasha, who is 42 years old, is an active social figure in the art world and has been married to Abramovich for about 10 years. The two divorced in 2019, and Dasha later married Stavros Nikos, the billionaire heir to the Greek shipping empire.

Murdoch, who is now 92 years old, has been married for four times and has six children. It is reported that his first wife Patricia Booker, an Australian, divorced in 1965 after 9 years of marriage. The second wife was Anna Toff, who had been married for 32 years and divorced in 1999. The third wife is Deng Wendi, and this marriage lasted for 14 years. The two divorced in 2013. The fourth wife, Jerry Hall, a 25-year-old model from Murdoch Jr., also ended in divorce.
Earlier, Murdoch had planned to welcome his fifth marriage this summer. In January of this year, Murdoch and 66 year old radio host Ann Leslie Smith were photographed on vacation in the Caribbean island of Barbados, and their relationship was subsequently made public. In March, it was immediately revealed that the two were engaged and their wedding was scheduled for the summer. At that time, Murdoch said that this would be his last marriage.

It is reported that Murdoch personally selected an engagement ring for Smith, an 11 carat diamond wedding ring worth $2.5 million. In addition to the wedding ring, Murdoch was also revealed to be preparing to purchase a $30 million, 6500 square foot apartment in the South Side of Central Park in New York as his and Smith's wedding home in New York.

However, with only two or three months left until the wedding, sources around Murdoch revealed that he suddenly cancelled their engagement. The insider said that although the exact reason for the breakup between the two is not yet clear, it may be due to Murdoch's unease with some of Smith's religious views.

According to an analysis by a British magazine, the reason why Elena's date with Murdoch has made headlines in major media is mainly due to three factors: Murdoch's astonishing wealth, power, and influence, his age, and Elena and her daughter's central position in the power network of the art world, Russia, and even the world's oligarchs, as well as the world's most influential shipping empire.
