The wedding of the year? Rupert Murdoch announces his engagement to his very well connected girlfriend - whose tied to socialites, oligarchs and a Gre
Elena Zhukova, a specialist in molecular biology with expertise in diabetes, is the mother of Dasha Zhukova. Dasha, who was born in Moscow, became known for her interest in art collecting and was previously married to Roman Abramovich, a billionaire Russian businessman who achieved fame in the United Kingdom due to his ownership of Chelsea Football Club. Dasha's father, Alexander Zhukov, was also a Russian oligarch, but he and Elena separated when their daughter was only three years old. Elena brought their daughter with her to America, where she pursued her career as a molecular biologist and eventually held a position at UCLA.
Dasha is friends with Italian aristocrat Bianca Brandolini and fashion designer Emilia Wickstead. She married billionaire Abramovich in 2008 and had two children, Aaron Alexander and Leah Lou, who were born in the US. The couple split in 2017 and divorced in 2018. Dasha received property worth over $92 million in the settlement, including a four-story mansion in Manhattan.
Dasha Zhukova, together with Stavros Niarchos and Charlotte Santo Domingo were spotted together in a certain location.
After Dasha Zhukova split with her former partner, rumors emerged claiming that she was in a romantic relationship with Stavros Niarchos III, who is the successor of his grandfather's Greek shipping empire. Initially, Dasha and Stavros kept their love affair private by arriving at events separately and avoiding being photographed in each other's company (which was tough considering their social media enthusiast friends). However, their relationship was nearly confirmed when Stavros celebrated New Year's Eve in Peru with Dasha's friends. The group included famous personalities like music mogul David Geffen, supermodel Karlie Kloss, and screenwriter Erin Foster, who embarked on an adventure through the Amazon.
