Jerry Yan was caught by surprise, saying: “Is it real?”
That was his response after journalists told him that Taiwanese model-actress Lin Chi-ling, 44, whom he had an on-off relationship for 17 years, had announced her marriage to Akira, 37, on June 6.
Apple Daily reported that after he was told that both Lin and Akira, a member of Japanese boyband Exile, had posted the news, Yan, 42, who was filming in Beijing, was in no mood to say more, simply stating: “I truly wish her happiness.”
But he has not completely accepted the fact that his relationship with Lin is over, it seems.
He and Lin started dating in 2000 but broke up six years later.
.............There is also talk that Yan botched his chances by not sending a note he drafted to Lin over their hot-cold relationship.
“I was not good enough, not mature enough… since we broke up, I haven’t stopped crying in front of my friends,” he apparently wrote.
