Taiwanese actress Joe Chen marries Malaysian tycoon Alan Chen in Langkawi

According to Sina, the wedding took place on Langkawi Island, Malaysia, a location the actress reportedly selected because it was where she accepted Alan Chen’s love confession on the Chinese dating show "Meeting Mr. Right 2," marking an important milestone in their relationship.

The event was attended by family and close friends of both the bride and groom.

At the wedding, Joe Chen expressed her feelings to Alan Chen, saying: "My dear, you are not only my husband, but also my family, friend, companion, driver, chef, guide, and sports coach. I believe marriage means that being with someone else brings more happiness than being alone."

As reported by Next Apple, Joe Chen grew emotional when reflecting on their relationship: "The best person may come a bit late, but you showed up. You’re like a gift from heaven, made just for me and arriving at the perfect time."

Joe Chen expressed her gratitude to her husband for providing her with a sense of security and always prioritizing her. She credited his kindness and sincerity for helping her become a more sensitive person.

Alan Chen shared that they balance each other well. "I will always be your sun, shining on you, the sunflower. Your emotions are deep, unpredictable, and ever-changing, but I will remain patient for you," he said.

Following the wedding, Joe Chen posted their wedding photos on her Weibo, humorously noting, "I’ve joked about wearing wedding dresses 200 times in my acting career, but now it’s finally time to wear my own."

The couple first met in 2019 on the Chinese dating show "Meeting Mr. Right 2" and officially registered their marriage in 2022. Despite being married, Joe Chen has reportedly faced criticism from her in-laws for not having children yet, according to SCMP.

Known as the "Queen of Idol Dramas," Joe Chen has made a lasting impact with her performances in popular series like "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog," "Fated to Love You," and "The Queen of SOP."
