#SHOWBIZ: Taiwanese actor Chen Bo-lin to wed girlfriend after dating for 13 years
TAIPEI: Taiwanese actor Chen Bo-lin is reportedly set to marry singer-actress Chen Ting-hsuan, his girlfriend of almost 13 years, this year. According to a report by Taiwanese magazine Mirror Media on July 9, sources in the catering industry have learned that Chen has been making enquiries about the details of a small wedding to be held overseas. It's thought that the ceremony will most likely take place in New Zealand at the end of the year, though a final decision is yet to be made. Chen, 41, travelled to Queenstown, New Zealand, in May, where he proposed to Ting-hsuan, 35, during a helicopter ride over the mountains. He chose the location for his proposal, and likely the wedding, after being impressed by New Zealand's scenery while filming the travel variety show What A Trip there recently. In June, Ting-hsuan posted videos and photos of herself in Glenorchy, New Zealand, where she enjoyed a horse ride at one of the filming locations for The Lord Of The Rings trilogy (2001 to 2003). When approached by the media on July 9, Chen's manager neither confirmed nor denied the news, saying: "Thank you for your good wishes. We will let you know when we have any good news." The couple's relationship first came to light in late 2012 after Ting-hsuan was seen going to Chen's house after work. He later confirmed on social media that they began dating after meeting on the set of the Taiwanese film Machi Action (2013). Prior to this, Chen was in a relationship with Malaysian-American model Mandy Lieu, 40, from 2007 to 2010. Ting-hsuan was a member of the Taiwanese girl group Popu Lady, which debuted in 2012 and has been on hiatus since 2020.

It is very likely to be held in New Zealand at the end of the year, but the final decision has not been made yet. Mirror Media quoted sources as saying that Chen Bo-lin, 41, had travelled to Queenstown, New Zealand, in May and proposed to Chen Ting-hsuan, 35, during a helicopter ride in the mountains. He chose the destination for his proposal and likely the wedding, as he was recently in the country filming the upcoming travel variety show What A Trip and was impressed by its scenery. The programme was shot over two months entirely in New Zealand. In June, Chen Ting-hsuan also posted videos and photos of herself in Glenorchy, New Zealand, where she rode a horse at one of the filming locations for The Lord Of The Rings trilogy (2001 to 2003). Mirror Media said Chen Bo-lin has no budget restrictions for the wedding. The number of guests is still being decided on, but the wedding is likely to be an intimate affair of about 30 people, including close friends and relatives.

He acknowledged on social media later that they had begun dating after meeting on the set of Taiwanese film Machi Action (2013). The actor has been discreet about the relationship, unlike his previous high-profile romance with Malaysian-American model Mandy Lieu, 40, between 2007 and 2010. Chen Ting-hsuan was a member of Taiwanese girl group Popu Lady, which debuted in 2012 and have been on hiatus since 2020.
