Actress Barbie Hsu and husband Wang Xiaofei to split, court to divide assets worth $46.6m - The Straits Times

Barbie Hsu and Mr Wang have reportedly reached an understanding on arrangements for spending time with their two children.

Mr Wang's mother, businesswoman Zhang Lan, posted about roasting lamb meat for Wang on short-video platform Douyin on Nov 14. She wrote: "In life, there's no such thing as a forever spring or a winter that won't pass."There were rumours of a split in June this year (2021), after Mr Wang seemingly called the Taiwanese "a bunch of traitors" on Weibo following two confirmed Covid-19 cases on a flight from the island to the Chinese city of Xiamen. When contacted for comment, Hsu dropped the bombshell that she was in the process of divorcing Mr Wang.Mr Wang later apologised for his post. Hsu's mother denied there was a divorce, saying it was a lovers' spat blown out of proportion.The two have been largely separated since the beginning of the pandemic as Mr Wang is based in China for work while Hsu and their two children reside in Taipei.In September, when he travelled to Taiwan to visit them, he assured netizens that his wife and him were well in a live stream. But after he returned to China in October, he deleted all traces of Hsu from his account on Douyin. It is believed that he had been in Taiwan to discuss the details of their divorce.Hsu, known for classic idol dramas like Meteor Garden (2001), met Mr Wang in 2010 and married him that same year after a whirlwind romance. The two held a lavish wedding in the Chinese coastal city of Sanya the following March.Mr Wang was known then as one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing - a term used to refer to the sons of four famous entrepreneurs in the city. Mr Wang's mother Zhang Lan is a successful restaurateur who founded the high-end South Beauty chain of eateries.The couple have a daughter born in 2014 and a son born in 2016.See more onCelebrities
