“I'm not the type of person who wants to explain everything and hopes for understanding. I just choose to live my life to the fullest in silence,” Chae wrote on Instagram.

Gao posted on Weibo, saying “I sincerely thank Liu's mother and wish her the best in the future.”

The two first met while shooting a 2013 Chinese TV drama “The Lee Family,” in which they starred as a couple. They married in October 2014, and welcomed their son in December 2017.

My Lady” (2010). She was also active on the Taiwanese and Chinese entertainment scene, starring in TV series including “Warriors of The Yang Clan” (2004) and “Kang Xi Mi Shi” (2006).
