KUALA LUMPUR: Supermodel Amber Chia’s husband is her manager and business partner, Adrian Wong (pic).

The newly-weds met journalists here yesterday to reveal the identity of “Mr Amber Chia”, after keeping mum on the issue since their wedding in Bali, Indonesia, last Thursday.

Wong, 36, has two children from a previous marriage.

“We decided to come out because we want people to stop speculating,” Chia told The Daily Chilli.

“We don’t want things to go out of control. We’re sorry if we shocked a lot of people, including our own friends, but we’re just two people in love who would like to keep things private,” the Malaysian supermodel said apologetically.

“We were looking for a more appropriate time to make it public. Please understand that he’s not a celebrity and he’s not used to the limelight like I am,” Chia added.

On accusations from some parties that she was a “home-wrecker”, Chia said: “Never. By the time I got to know Adrian and eventually fall in love with him, he was officially divorced from his wife.”

Wong, a business graduate from Melbourne University, spent 10 years in Australia and was the founder and director of Absolute Entertainment, the event management company responsible for bringing the Pussycat Dolls and Andy Lau to Malaysia.

He currently has business interests in Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Wong popped the question five-and-a-half months ago after courting Chia for a year and a half.
