KUALA LUMPUR: It has only been two weeks since Taiwanese actress Joe Chen, 45, and her husband, Johor-born artiste Alan Chen, 36, held their Langkawi wedding and it seems like the question on everyone's minds is: When is the couple starting a family?
8 Days reported recently that Joe said during a Q&A session on Instagram Stories that a lot of people were concerned about her "baby plans".
"Is it really that important whether a woman has children or not?" she asked.
She stressed that the choice to have children should be a personal one, and that people should respect each individual's wishes.
"If you like them, you go have them. If you don't, then don't. Is it that difficult?" she said.
Joe admitted that she lacked the patience to be around kids.
She also shared her views on long-distance relationships, saying they are not difficult for her as she is someone who really needs personal space and freedom in her working style.
Joe and Alan met on the second season of Chinese reality show Meeting Mr Right in 2019.
They dated long distance for about a year before Alan relocated to Taiwan in 2021 to be with Joe.
The couple registered their marriage in April 2022.
