FORMER British Prime Minister Tony Blair is godfather to one of Rupert Murdoch's children, fashion magazine Vogue said yesterday, raising fresh questions about close ties between the media tycoon and British politicians.
Blair, according to an interview with the News Corp boss's third wife Wendi, was present when her two daughters were baptized on the banks of the River Jordan last year.
The relationship was not made public at the time, but features in the piece in the October issue of Vogue to be published on Thursday.
At the time only Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were named publicly as godparents to the youngsters: nine-year-old Grace and Chloe, eight.
Blair did not feature in any of the photographs released.
While Wendi Murdoch does not comment directly on Blair in the article released to Reuters the piece identifies him as Grace's godfather and says he attended the event "garbed in white."
