Long considered one of Hong Kong’s top beauty icons, Gillian Chung, also known as a member of the popular duo Twins alongside Charlene Choi, has had great success in both music and acting. At 45, he is reportedly worth more than HKD 100 million (about $12.8 million) and owns several luxury properties, including a spacious apartment in Beijing.
Despite his financial success, his personal life was marked by turbulence. She has experienced numerous high-profile breakups, endured the unauthorized release of private photos in the past, and divorced her ex-husband, Dr. Michael Lai, in 2021.
Recently, during an appearance on the program Extraordinary friendsGillian Chung has spoken openly about her long-standing desire to have a child of her own. She admitted that her dream of motherhood now seems increasingly out of reach due to health issues and age-related challenges.
“I always hoped to have a child to keep me company, but now it’s very difficult” he said. “I’m approaching 50 and I understand that giving birth at this age comes with a lot of risks. Also, getting pregnant isn’t easy. My doctor told me that for 45-year-old women, the natural conception rate is less than 1% and even the IVF success rate is only about 15%. This biological barrier seems like the biggest mountain in front of me. I’m still hoping for a miracle.”
In the past, the actress proactively froze her eggs in preparation for motherhood. However, during her brief marriage, that desire never materialized as the relationship eventually ended. Industry sources also said that when she was younger, she once conceived twins while dating businessman Qin Fen, but unfortunately suffered a miscarriage.
Currently, her chances of pregnancy are considered slim.

As of 2025, Gillian Chung has pledged to quit drinking and adopt a healthier lifestyle, including improving her diet and exercise, in hopes of restoring her health.
