On June 17, Joe Chen was spotted visiting an art exhibition in Shanghai with her husband, Alan Tseng. Photos of the outing quickly spread across Chinese social media platforms.
The actress appeared with minimal makeup, glowing skin and a slim physique as described by many netizens extraordinarily youthful. Observers noted that he showed few visible signs of aging despite recently celebrating his 47th birthday. Many online users have commented that Joe Chen seems to be getting younger rather than older.
One topic often mentioned by fans was the couple’s age difference. Joe Chen is nine years older than Alan Tseng, but many observers have noted that their appearance together does not create a noticeable age gap. Instead, fans praised their harmonious visuals and chemistry, with some lines that Alan must have wanted “keep it hidden at home” because it remains so beautiful.
The comments were largely playful, reflecting admiration for the actress’ appearance rather than suggesting any actual restrictions on her career.
In addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and exercise routine, many fans believe that Joe Chen’s youthful image is partly a result of his happy marriage. Over the years, she often shared moments from her travels and daily life with Alan, giving audiences glimpses of a seemingly stable and loving relationship. Supporters often point to her relaxed lifestyle and emotional well-being as contributing factors to her radiant appearance.
Joe Chen and Alan Tseng first met while filming the reality dating show Meeting with Mr. Right 2 in 2019. Unlike many reality show couples whose relationships end after filming, the couple developed a real romance off-screen.
In December 2019, Joe Chen officially confirmed their relationship, generating widespread discussion due to the age difference and Alan’s rich background. At the time, some fans expressed concern after media reports scrutinized Alan’s personal life and past dating history. However, Joe Chen publicly defended his partner and continued the relationship.
After several years together, the couple officially registered their marriage in 2022. In September 2024, they celebrated their wedding in Malaysia, Alan’s home country. The lavish ceremony has reportedly become one of the most talked about celebrity weddings of the year.
Since getting married, Joe Chen has mostly focused on enjoying married life rather than returning to a demanding acting schedule. She has also openly stated that she currently has no plans to have children, explaining that she doesn’t feel fully prepared for motherhood and is aware of the challenges associated with pregnancy later in life.
The couple recently addressed rumors that Alan had a secret child. Rather than avoid speculation, Joe Chen spoke about it directly and with humor during a television appearance. She jokingly asked her husband: “Is your secret child a boy or a girl?” Alan replied: “I didn’t even know I had a son.” Their lighthearted exchange quickly went viral and was widely seen as a playful dismissal of the rumors.
Despite stepping away from regular acting projects, Joe Chen remains one of the most recognizable actresses in Chinese-language entertainment. Her latest public appearance once again reminded fans why she earned the title “The Queen of Taiwanese Idol Dramas,” with many praising both her timeless beauty and the happiness she seems to have found in her personal life.
