TAIWANESE actress Barbie Hsu has filed for divorce from her businessman husband Wang Xiaofei after more than 10 years of marriage. According to an exclusive report by Taiwanese magazine Mirror Media, Hsu, 45, filed for divorce at the family court of Taiwan Taipei District Court in early November. The two asked to divide assets of around NT$950 million (US$34 million), including NT$600 million in property for Hsu and Wang’s S Hotel in Taipei (worth NT$350 million). S Hotel was named after Hsu, whose nickname is “Big S.” She was once part of a pop duo named ASOS with her younger sister Dee. As part of the court’s proceedings, Hsu and Wang have reportedly reached an understanding on asset division and arrangements for spending time with their two children, which will be announced soon. The magazine found that Hsu and Wang, 40, have engaged famed lawyer Tina Lai to handle their divorce. Lai also handled the divorce of Taiwanese singer Stella Chang. 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.” Hsu, known for classic idol dramas like “Meteor Garden” (2001), met Wang in 2010 and married him that same year after a whirlwind romance. The couple have a daughter born in 2014 and a son born in 2016. (SD-Agencies) |
