9 celebrity power couples who met on set
Love story
image

Local drama Doppelganger that started airing early this month marks a major milestone for Singapore’s celeb power couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong. This is the first time that the couple are acting in a drama together since their last 2003 drama (Always on My Mind). Although the two met and fell in love on set and are best known for playing lovers in TV dramas, they decided not to take on such roles after tying the knot in 2009. The lovebirds are most certainly not the only couple whose relationship formed under such circumstance.

After all, if there is chemistry between two actors on-screen, there’s a good chance sparks will fly when the cameras stop rolling too. Here are 9 other celebrity power couples who met at work.

Joanne Peh and Qi Yu Wu

Joanne was previously in a high-profile relationship with actor and radio jock Bobby Tonelli for four years before calling it quits in 2013. Joanne eventually moved on and tied the knot with fellow actor Qi Yu Wu.

The two actors have co-starred many times before, even tying the knot in one local drama. They stayed as friends for ten years before they started dating in 2013. Shortly after, the duo tied the knot in an intimate wedding held at Sentosa. Four years after their marriage, the parents of a 4-year-old girl and a one-year-old boy are still as loving as ever.

Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki

The next reel-to-real couple needs no further introduction. For over a year, the “Descendants of the Sun” stars denied rumours that they were dating. Rumours of their off-screen romance started circulating after the two were spotted together in New York. On Jul 5, 2017, the Song-Song couple sprang a major surprise and didn’t just come clean about their romance, but also announced their plans to wed on Oct 31. The beautiful couple eventually exchanged their vows in a private outdoor ceremony in Seoul.

Even though they are usually coy and tight-lipped about their relationship, Song Joong Ki’s agency, Blossom Entertainment recently revealed that he turned down a role for the Netflix drama “Kingdom” to focus on Song Hye Kyo. Cue the awws!

Kim Tae Yong and Tang Wei

Chinese actress and endorsement darling Tang Wei was thrust into the spotlight after appearing in Ang Lee’s film “Lust Caution”. She met her Korean film director husband through the 2009 film “Late Autumn” as actress and director, respectively.

When filming for the movie ended, the two remained close friends. From then, their friendship blossomed into the relationship that culminated in a private wedding held on the Faro Island Sweden in 2014.

Janet Hsieh and George Young

This good-looking pair first met on set of a commercial. George was appearing in the commercial while Janet was a model with the same agency that represented the former. The Eurasian model-actor based in Singapore and the Taiwanese-American host based in Taiwan stayed as friends for ten years before getting together. In 2015, the couple tied the knot in an exotic wedding among penguins in Antarctica.

Two years later, the duo became proud parents to a baby boy. She recently took to the gram to post this adorable snap of her husband and her son, Egan. She captioned it, “My boys…Almost makes me want another one…Almost.” We’ll be awaiting her good news!

Felicia Chin and Jeffrey Xu

While the pair insisted that they were just friends while shooting 2015’s long-form drama “Life – Fear Not,” there must have been something that clicked, otherwise they wouldn’t have gone public with their romance in Oct 2016. They revealed that they were boyfriend and girlfriend after Jeffrey planted a huge kiss on Felicia’s cheek during the Star Awards ceremony.

After meeting on the set of the TV remake of Romance of the Condor Heroes in 2013, the couple began quietly dating until they finally married in 2016. Right now, the couple has a one-year-old son nicknamed “Little Star.”

Andrea De Cruz and Pierre Png
image

You would think that the way these two act around each other that they had been married since birth. But no, they actually met at a salon. Andrea first caught Pierre’s eye as she left a salon, but the latter didn’t do anything because he was in a relationship with another person. Like a scene from the movie, a few years later, they met on a set of a play. This time round, he took the plunge and asked her out and the rest is history. The pair made headlines in 2002 when Andrea suffered liver failure after taking slimming pills from Slim 10.

Pierre donated a part of his liver to her. The two eventually tied the knot in 2003 and are still head over heels in love. We have Pierre Png and Andrea De Cruz to thank for keeping our faith in love alive.

Jesseca Liu and Jeremy Chan

It is widely believed that the two fell in love after acting together in the web series, “Who Killed The Lead” in 2014. They held a low-key yet very romantic beach wedding in Jesseca’s hometown in Langkawi late last year. Just recently, the lovebirds were spotted going on a honeymoon in Europe, where they traversed Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Melody Chen and Randall Tan

The start of this decades-long epic romance began on the set of The Donny Lee Show in 1996. The duo who has been married for ten years found out they had feelings for each other when Randall was struck by a nerve disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome and hospitalised in the intensive care unit. Randall has since fully recovered. Today, the couple is proud parents to twin boys.
