JACKIE CHAN AND JOAN LIN

Jackie Chan is not only known for his amazing action moves in TV and movies. He is an icon in his own right — a handsome man who can make any women fall for him harder. When he met Joan Lin, love quickly blossomed, resulting in a four-decade old marriage. He calls her the “love of his life,” and they have been married for almost 40 years now. They secretly got married in Los Angeles, back in 1982, and Joan gave birth to their son, Jaycee, the day after.

Joan was a Taiwanese actress when she met Jackie, but she opted to retire to focus on raising their family. Theirs was a rocky relationship at first—the actor even admits to not being a good husband. He has cheated and even had a secret child! The relationship seemed destined for a call to their attorneys, but by putting in the work, they were able to avoid this fate. Thanks to Joan’s perseverance and kindness, Jackie has turned his way around, and become the best father for his family.
