Taiwanese-American singer Van Ness Wu of boy band F4 surprised his fans on June 29 when he announced that he was married for the second time.
The news came after the 47-year-old just completed the Manila leg of the F*Forever 1st World Tour on June 27 with his F4 band mates Jerry Yan and Vic Chou as well as Ashin of Taiwanese rock band Mayday.
“Every good thing comes from above,” Wu wrote on social media, sharing a photo of two hands clasped together with the wedding bands visible.
“2026 has been filled with so many blessings. Being able to tour again with the boys, being able to do what I love on stage and perform for you all … and now being blessed with the most important person in my life.”
He added: “I’m truly so grateful to be able to share this love with all of you who have supported me throughout the years.”
News of Wu’s marriage came as a surprise as he did not indicate previously that he was in a relationship. The singer was married to Singapore entrepreneur Arissa Cheo between 2013 and 2018.
The group was formed in 2001 after the popularity of Taiwanese idol drama Meteor Garden (2001 to 2002), which starred the actors as rich, arrogant students known collectively as F4.
The band split in 2009, but reunited for a surprise performance at Mayday’s concert at the Taipei Dome in July 2025.
Chu was dropped from the F*Forever 1st World Tour due to an alleged disagreement with B’in Music, the record label of Mayday. Ashin, the driving force behind F4’s reunion, was included to make up the quartet on the tour.
The group will bring its tour to Malaysia on Aug 7 and 8 at Unifi Arena at Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
