Jackie Chan has dated –

  1. Feng-Jiao (1981-Present) – Jackie first started dating Feng-Jiao, who was a professional Taiwanese actress in 1981. Immediately, after the start of their relationship, Feng got pregnant and to keep the pregnancy a secret, he sent her to the United States. In 1982, they got married in a small cubicle in Los Angeles. Just a day after their wedding, Feng gave birth to a son, Jaycee Chan. She soon gave up her career to focus on family life.
  2. Teresa Teng – Jackie had a brief affair with Taiwanese pop singer Teresa Teng. As Chan would later put in the autobiography, they broke up owing to the difference in character. Apparently, she had come to meet him while he was discussing a script with his friends. After waiting for an hour, she left and later telephoned him to tell him that he didn’t need her, so he should stay with his friends.
  3. Elaine Ng – In the late ’90s, Jackie Chan had an affair with Elaine Ng, the former Miss Asia. Their affair came to the public knowledge after Elaine got pregnant and opened up about the affair after much speculation. After public pressure, Jackie also owned up to the affair and termed it a mistake that many men make. He also feared that his wife Lin Feng-Jiao would seek a divorce after the incident.
  4. Zhang Ziyi (2011) – Jackie was reported to be having an affair with much younger Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi after having worked with her in the action movie, Rush Hour 2. The fact that she accompanied him on the red carpet further flamed up affair reports.
  5. Kim Hee-sun – Chan started going with South Korean actress Kim Hee-sun after having got enamored by her while shooting for the 2005 release, The Myth. Later, she even shared the stage with him during his birthday concert to sing a duet, Endless Love.
