Barbie Hsu & Wang Xiaofei’s Post‑Divorce Drama: Money, Kids, and a Surprising New Love
TL;DR: After an 11‑year marriage, Hsu and Wang split, but the settlement money didn’t go smooth. It’s a battle over spousal maintenance, child support, and who’s paying for the luxury Taipei pad.
What Went Boom
- In November 2021, the Taiwanese power couple called it quits.
- They share an 8‑year‑old daughter and a 6‑year‑old son, making cash disputes even more sticky.
- Hsu, aka Big S, shocked fans in March 2022 by tying the knot with DJ Koo (Koo Jun‑yup), a South Korean beat wizard.
The Money Feud
Yesterday, Mirror Media rattled the Taipei District Court with a claim that Wang, now 41, has been skipping his spousal maintenance since March. The bail‑money has ballooned to over NT$5 million (roughly S$220 000).
The court decided to snatch up a chunk of Wang’s assets in Taiwan as it had “clear evidence” that the dough was sitting in limbo.
Wang’s Counter‑Pitch
Wang, stepping out of the shadows, sent a lawyer‑wrapped note to the press saying:
- He’s still covering the kids’ school fees and everyday goodies.
- He did not want to foot extra luxury home bills that didn’t belong to him.
- He’s been pulling down the chauffeur and helper, so he’s not “missing a single cent” on the kids’ lives.
Grandpa Utility Bill Drama
Wang even posted a list on Weibo that breaks down “real expenses” spent on children and the fancy house in the past year. He insists he should not be paying “utility bills for this home now that they’re married.”
Custody Check‑In
Next, he hinted he’s living in a “can’t see my kids” situation: “We have joint custody but they’re not allowed to stop me from seeing them.”
Hsu’s Reply? (Silence)
The actress hasn’t spoken up yet, but her mom, Huang Chun‑mei, spilled the tea to Taiwan’s Next Apple News:
“The kids have to do quarantine if they go to Beijing where Mr. Wang is based. The children stay in Taipei, and he should bear some thought for them.”
Takeaway
It’s a classic story of divorce, financial tussles, and new love—with a dash of humor to keep things light.
Stay tuned, as we’ll watch the court drama unfold and hope the children get the support they deserve.
