Another local celebrity couple, Fann Wong and Christopher Lee started off on what you can call the ‘wrong foot’.
It was in 1995 when Fann Wong first saw Christopher Lee in Star Search, and her first reaction was that he was an Uncle. (Hint: He was only 24 at that time. Yes, you read that right. He was handsome, but not photogenic, she realized only after seeing him in person.
They began dating in 2000 and were married in 2009.
Christopher shared his thoughts on marriage and how his plans to propose with Fann were thwarted more than once. He had planned to propose to her on a special occasion – he insisted he had to, be it a birthday or a Mid-Autumn festival.
Both plans failed when Fann went abroad.
He proposed at Fann house’s Chinese New Year celebration without prior planning. Zed, their son, is now theirs.
However, when one starts a family, some sacrifices have to be made, and it’s no different for this couple. This was made evident in Christopher’s Golden Bell speech in 2021. After being awarded Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film, Christopher said:
I know how much she sacrificed after giving birth – definitely more than me. She loves acting, but for our son’s sake, she took on the role as mother. That has allowed me peace of mind to go out and perform with confidence.
While some couples place heavy importance on how long they’ve been together, this lovey-dovey couple is different.
Christopher wrote a half-English and half-Chinese Instagram post to mark their 2021 wedding anniversary. We have always counted how many years (we have been together), (I think) we don’t have to count anymore, because it’s forever.
Similarly, Fann posted the same picture, with the caption “Happy Anniversary my dear hubby. There’s no need to count anymore, just know that it’s an anniversary”.
It would be great if everyone could feel so confident in their relationships.
