Chan, 35, rose to fame in Hong Kong after finishing as the third runner-up in the 2016 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. Following her success in the pageant, she built a career as a television host and actress.

She stepped away from the entertainment industry in 2020 to pursue her passion for yoga and wellness, becoming a certified yoga instructor and launching her own wellness brand.

She married Kuok Meng Jun, a 35-year-old DJ and music producer, in 2021 and has maintained a low-key profile since then.

Kuok Meng Jun’s grandfather Robert Kuok, 101, owns the Kuok Group, which has interests in hotels, real estate, and commodities. He founded the internationally renowned Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts chain in Singapore in 1971.

As of Dec. 17, Forbes estimates Robert Kuok’s net worth at US$11.6 billion.
