Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jam Hsiao is getting married to his manager Summer Lin, whom he has long been rumoured to be dating.
Making the surprise announcement in an Instagram post on Tuesday night, the 36-year-old wrote in Chinese: “I know this is sudden, but I want everyone to know that I am very happy, I really am very happy.
“I have music, basketball, good friends, a loving family and my supporters, I have a lot. Now, I have love, a love that is true and complete.”
Hsiao and Lin, who turned 50 on Tuesday, have worked together since his debut 16 years ago.
In the post, the Mandopop star wished her a happy birthday and said she has been his most trusted work partner all these years.
He revealed that he proposed to Lin on Monday night. “Yes, I have officially bid farewell to singlehood. I will treasure and love her well,” he wrote.
The pair has been romantically linked for many years.
In March 2020, Taiwanese media company Mirror Media spotted Hsiao and Lin heading to his house together.
In June 2021, the couple was spotted in Beijing by the paparazzi taking selfies in a car after Hsiao had recorded a variety show.
The couple’s proposal party was attended by family and friends, including other celebrities in Taiwan, such as singer Jay Chou and actress Alyssa Chia, who gave Lin a kiss for encouragement before Hsiao proposed. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
