The Hong Kong actor, filmmaker and martial artist had an extramarital affair with Elaine Ng in 1998 while he was married to Taiwanese actress Joan Lin. He had Etta with Elaine and a son named Jaycee with Lin.
Ng moved to Canada after she married Canadian influencer Andi Autumn. In previous media interviews, Ng has said that she considers her father a stranger because he is not a part of her life.
“He is my biological father, but he is not in my life. He never existed in my life. I will never consider him a father,” Ng was quoted as saying in 2015. “I’m not mad at my father and never wanted to see him. As long as I have my mother with me, I don’t need my father.”

Ng started dating Autumn in February 2017. In 2018, Ng came out publicly as a lesbian. She went viral for arguing with her mother about her sexual orientation. In the same year, Ng and Autumn publicly declared themselves homeless via YouTube, claiming that they could not approach government shelters for fear of being split up.
“We have been homeless for a month because of homophobic parents. We pretty much slept under a bridge and other things,” Ng said in a video. “Two people in love who share true love don’t try to break up and they try to fool us just because – I don’t understand – I love her.”
Jaycee, on the other hand, apparently lives a lavish life. He recently shared a photo of himself in his friend’s Rolls-Royce on his social media accounts.

“If we remove the Jackie Chan factor, she’s just another person who doesn’t want to be disturbed”, another user commented.
