After actress Tu Hy Vien (Dai S) passed away in February 2025, who will take care of her two children with businessman Wang Xiaofei has continuously become a topic of concern.
According to Chinese media, the actress's younger sister, Tu Hy De (Tieu S), has spoken out to deny rumors that she and Wang Xiaofei (Tu Hy Vien's ex-husband) will take on the role of guardians of the two children.
According to Chinese media, Xiao S affirmed that there has never been a case of "co-parents" being brought up for discussion. She said that she has no legal basis to become a guardian when the biological father of the two children still has full rights and obligations according to the provisions of law.
According to the provisions of the Taiwanese Civil Code (China), when one of the two parents passes away, the other will continue to exercise their rights and obligations to their minor children, except in cases where the court determines that they do not meet the conditions or are restricted from the right to be parents. Only when both parents cannot exercise these rights and obligations will the appointment of another guardian arise.
This means that Wang Xiaofei is currently a person with legitimate rights and responsibilities in caring for, educating, and representing her two children.
On the side of the Tu family, members also expressed their respect for Uong Tieu Phi's decision on issues related to the two children. Before the inauguration of the Dai S memorial statue, the family said they had sent an invitation for the two children to attend, but whether they appear or not will be decided by Uong Tieu Phi and his children.
Meanwhile, Dai S's second husband, Koo Jun Yup (DJ Koo), is also mentioned in many rumors related to custody rights. However, according to legal regulations, the stepfather relationship does not automatically generate custody rights for the wife's stepchild when the biological father still has the right to be a father.
Recently, Wang Xiaofei has been caught many times taking her two children out to play and live with the family. Images of the businesswoman taking care of her children have received much attention on social networks.
Regarding the assets that the two children inherited from Dai S, Chinese media said that Wang Xiaofei's lawyer had previously informed that the assets under the inheritance of the two children would be managed in accordance with legal regulations to ensure the rights of the children. However, detailed information about the establishment of trust funds or asset management methods has not yet been publicly confirmed by competent authorities.
Currently, based on legal regulations and published information, Uong Tieu Phi is the person directly exercising rights and obligations to the two children after Dai S passed away. Information that Tieu S or DJ Koo will win custody has not been legally confirmed.
