About a month after announcing their plans to get married, Taiwanese TV hosts Hank Chen and Lulu Huang have become husband and wife.
The couple registered their marriage at the household registration office in Nangang District in Taipei on Oct 20. The ceremony was witnessed by their family members and Huang’s boss Isaac Chen. Huang is an artiste with Chen’s agency.
Hank Chen, 41, and Huang, 34, unfurled a banner after registering their marriage, with the words: “We are married. PS: Not a prank.”
The couple were co-hosts of Taiwanese variety show Hot Door Night (2013 to 2025) with Jacky Wu, with the veteran TV host often joking about matchmaking them.
Chen and Huang once staged a mock wedding on the show, with Chen saying the words: “Lulu Huang is my wife.”
Wu, 63, joked in an interview that he would give them an NT$2mil (RM275,718.85) hongbao if they got married. He added that he would give another NT$2mil hongbao if Huang gives birth to a daughter.
Then on Sept 11, Chen and Huang announced on social media that they were getting hitched. The announcement shocked their celebrity pals, who were unaware the pair were dating.
Chen and Huang said after completing their marriage registration that they did not choose Oct 20 specifically; both of them happened to be free that day. They added that neither wind nor rain could stop them from tying the knot, referring to the heavy rain and strong wind across Taiwan due to Tropical Storm Fengshen.
The Taiwanese media said they will hold a wedding ceremony in January.
The couple attended the first day of Taiwan’s Golden Bell Awards on Oct 17.
Huang was host of the ceremony, with the couple nominated with Wu for Best Host in a Variety Show for Hot Door Night.
Huang was also nominated in the same category with Ada Chang and Dr Beauty for their variety show The King Of Nightmarket (2024 to 2025).
The award went to Dee Hsu and Patrick Liu for Dee Girl’s Talk (2022 to present). – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
