In a shocking announcement made today, Wu Chun finally admits to being married and blissfully confesses his status as a proud father. He met his wife when he was 16 years old and they have been together for 18 years, supporting each other during life's roughest moments.

After his debut in 2005 as a member of Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit, Wu Chun quickly gained a massive following for his boyish good looks and fit physique. Despite high media exposure, Wu Chun managed to keep much of his life private, saying little about his relationship status other than the fact that he had experienced his first love during his teenage years.

Determined to break the mystery, the media traced Wu Chun's career back to his native Brunei. There they discovered what was considered an open secret. In 2011, Taiwanese media published reports alleging that Wu Chun already filed for marriage in 2009, and that his wife had given birth to a daughter two years later

According to reports on Ming Pao and Jayne Stars, Wu Chun firmly denied the rumours at that time. When reporters presented photo evidence at the time, Wu Chun's manager stated that the woman was Wu Chun's sister-in-law, and the child belonged to his elder sister.

Spending the past two years back home in Brunei, Wu Chun spent his free time writing a book, Ignite Courage, about his life and business ventures. On the eve of its release, Wu Chun decided to make his big confession via his official fan site.

He began with his view on romance, speaking freely about his stubborn dedication to love. "No matter how others try to interfere, or how life differs, my persistence towards that love never changes. Once I've set my sights on it, I will chase after it till the end. I am working hard for love, for our future."

The love that Wu Chun has been fighting hard to protect will certainly be cherished forever. "That's right. I am now playing a role that cannot be bought with money - a blissful super dad!" Wu Chun added that it has been difficult for him to conceal this fact, saying that he is someone who wants to spread happiness, and that becoming a father was a great thing that had changed his life.

He then spoke further about his wife, revealing that she is his first love, Lin Li Ying. "She has been by my side since I was 16, it has been more than 18 years. She is also my first love. Throughout the years, she helped me pull through all the ups and downs of life. From the time I studied abroad in Australia, to the time my mother passed away, through my best friend's death, and managing my business in Brunei. All the way until now. She has always been there to give support and encouragement."

Wu Chun shared that he had introduced Li Ying to others when he first entered the entertainment industry. After he exploded in popularity, Li Ying requested to stay in the shadows, away from media gossips.

Wu Chun said, " I understand and I respect this decision. Because of her complete support, I was able to bravely face the challenges in my life and career. She always reminds me that I am a very lucky person because I have so many supportive and loving fans throughout the years. 'Today's Wu Chun would not exist if it wasn't because of them' - that is something she had said countless times."

Although information is sparse, the press discovered that Li Ying's family is rather well-known in Brunei. Her father is the appointed masseur and nutritionist for the fourth brother of Brunei's current Sultan. Also, while Wu Chun did not speak about his daughter in detail, some estimated that the girl is around two and a half years old as Wu Chun had remained in Brunei during that time.

To wrap up his blog post, Wu Chun apologised to his fans for the sudden revelation, and thanked them for their support. At this content stage of his life, Wu Chun concludes that to live and to love simply is the greatest achievement of all.

Thanking his parents, he reflects, "Here, I want to thank my parents for their love and support. They are always encouraging us, becoming my most powerful backing. This unconditional love allows me to realise that, being able to maintain a simple life and love is truly the utmost bliss."
