Joe Chen Expecting First Child with Younger Billionaire Husband
On September 5, sources in the entertainment industry revealed that Joe Chen, the popular Taiwanese actress, is expecting her first child with her husband Alan Tang Wei-Xiang, who is nine years younger than her. The couple has been married for two years. As Joe is currently in the early stages of her pregnancy and her wedding date is approaching, she has not yet made the happy news public. In her latest photo shared on social media, Joe Chen was seen wearing a fitted ceremonial dress that subtly revealed a baby bump, fueling speculation online. However, the actress has remained silent amid the rumors. Notably, in the past, she has always been quick to deny pregnancy rumors.
Challenges in Conceiving and Family’s Joy
At over 40 years old, Joe Chen has faced challenges in conceiving. After registering her marriage with Alan Tang Wei-Xiang in 2022, the actress paused her acting career to prepare for pregnancy. Reports suggest that Joe Chen’s in-laws are overjoyed with the news of her pregnancy, as they have been eagerly awaiting a grandchild for years. In celebration, they plan to present her with a substantial gift during the opulent wedding ceremony, which is scheduled to take place at the end of September. The exact nature of the gift remains undisclosed, but it is expected to be worth tens of millions of USD.
Overcoming Family Opposition and Winning Hearts
Previously, Joe Chen’s relationship with Alan Tang Wei-Xiang was met with strong opposition from his family. Alan’s parents were initially against their son marrying a woman nine years his senior, fearing that Joe Chen might struggle to bear a child for the family. Nevertheless, Alan chose to move to Taiwan (China) to live and marry the top Taiwanese star, defying his parents’ wishes. Through her charm and understanding, Joe Chen gradually won over her in-laws’ hearts. According to industry sources, the “queen of idol dramas” is now adored by her mother-in-law.
The couple’s wedding will take place at Langkawi Island, Malaysia, at the end of September. Joe Chen and Alan Tang Wei-Xiang have booked an entire 5-star resort for their celebration. Invitations and gifts have been sent to a select few friends in the showbiz circle. To ensure privacy, Joe Chen has requested her guests not to reveal the exact date of her wedding on social media.
The star-studded guest list includes celebrities like Ming Dao, Ady An, Summer Meng, Zhao Hongqiao, Lai Wei Ru, and more A-listers. Additionally, the wedding is expected to attract many of Malaysia’s wealthiest figures, who are business partners of the groom’s family. This influx of prominent personalities only adds to the anticipation surrounding what is set to be the most high-profile event in the Chinese entertainment world this September.
