Aaron Chen’s Unexpected Love‑Life Reveal
Act legend Aaron Chen Zhao‑rong—the 53‑year‑old star famed for the 2001 Taiwanese hit Ah Cheng—has sparked a new buzz in the gossip scene. Recently spotted by Mirror Media alongside a mysterious “long‑haired woman,” the rumor‑laden paparazzi couldn’t pick up a familiar face. The film‑star’s longtime partner, Chang Ching‑wen, whom he married 27 years ago, seemed to be nowhere in sight.
While jet‑lagged in Japan, Aaron told a close friend on October 19 that he’d been divorced from Ching‑wen for several years. He added, “My ex‑wife and I have a pretty solid rapport now.”
In an oddly-adorable statement, he shared:
- “We once spent endless time hoping one of us would morph into our ideal. After years of acting in that drama, we’re still the same two people.
- “All we cared about was our kids growing up safe and happy. They’re adults now, and our chapter is closing—so we want each other to be happy.”
The couple had one daughter and one son. Aaron has always been a vault when it comes to family matters. Even:
- His daughter Pin‑ru’s school records didn’t list him as her dad—only her grandfather.
- He kept his children’s faces muffled from tabloids.
- Only when Pin‑ru, now 23, decided to chase showbiz did he finally let the cameras see them together.
He chuckled when giving that first press shot: “This is the first and only time I’m doing THIS!”
His fans are already buzzing under the headline, “AH BYE, OFF‑SCREEN ERNEST! Aaron Rewrites Love Story.” The actor even thanked his showbiz comrades for keeping the secret hush‑hush for years and asked media to “give our family space.”
