According to Chinese media, Coco - Ta Hien's ex-girlfriend (Ta Dinh Phong's father) - recently attracted attention when sharing on a livestream about Ta Dinh Phong and Truong Ba Chi's marriage.
According to Coco, Ta Dinh Phong, after hearing the news that Vuong Phi married Ly A Bang in 2005, was heavily criticized, and his spirit collapsed. He hurriedly looked for someone to fill the void in his heart.
Actress Truong Ba Chi appeared with Nicholas Tse at that time. Her companionship made him feel guilty, and Nicholas Tse wanted to prove that he had given up his old love and had a new life. This led to Nicholas Tse's impulsive marriage proposal decision.
Coco is not an outsider. She used to be Ta Hien's public girlfriend for 12 years, almost becoming Ta Dinh Phong's "legal stepmother". In those years, she lived in the Ta family, witnessing Ta Dinh Phong wrestling between Vuong Phi and Truong Ba Chi.
Regarding the secret wedding of yesteryear, Coco added many little-known details. On September 18, 2006, on a remote island in the Philippines, Nicholas Tse on a trip with Cecilia Cheung suddenly proposed.
According to the staff present at the time, Truong Ba Chi was stunned for about ten seconds before bursting into tears and saying "I agree". The wedding of the two was simple to the point of being rudimentary: no wedding dresses, no relatives, only a few local staff as witnesses.
Their marriage was kept secret. Even Ta Hien only knew her son got married through the press and was extremely angry.
Traditionally, after getting married, the bride and groom must respectfully greet their elders to be officially recognized by the family. At that time, Coco was Ta Hien's official girlfriend, theoretically Ta Dinh Phong's "future stepmother". But while respectfully greeting her, Ta Dinh Phong only greeted her superficially and then ignored her.
This seemingly small action, according to Coco and some media outlets, shows Nicholas Tse's superficiality towards this marriage.
The story between Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong began in 2000, when Faye Wong, 31 years old, held the hand of a 20-year-old rookie at a press conference - a moment called "the hand of the century".
One side is a personality music queen, the other side is a rebellious "schooled child". During their dating process, they met and broke up many times. In 2003, when the couple broke up again, Vuong Phi decided to marry Ly A Bang.
Nicholas Tse married Cecilia Cheung only 11 months after his ex-girlfriend's wedding.
Cecilia Cheung publicly expressed her feelings for Nicholas Tse early on, repeatedly saying she loved him from the age of 18 and only wanted to marry him. After getting married, she almost stopped her peak career to focus on her family.
From 2007 to 2011, Truong Ba Chi became pregnant many times, gave birth to 2 sons and had 2 miscarriages. She once admitted innocently thinking that having more children would keep her husband's heart. But the foundation of marriage may have existed cracked from the beginning.
In 2011, the incident of Truong Ba Chi revealing photos with Tran Quan Hy was considered the "last straw", causing Nicholas Tse to get angry. Not long after, the two announced their divorce, ending 6 years of marriage. The custody of 2 children belonged to Truong Ba Chi.
From Coco's perspective, the deep reason their marriage broke down was that Nicholas Tse had never really let go of Faye Wong.
After the divorce, Truong Ba Chi devoted all her efforts to her children, and soon made a will leaving all her assets to her son. Nicholas Tse shifted his focus to food and entertainment business, building the "Phong Vi" brand.
In 2014, the media captured images of Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong kissing in an apartment in Beijing, a "reunion of the century" that caused a social media storm.
At that time, both were single. This time, when they got back together, their relationship became more secretive and stable: no marriage registration, no rituals, rarely showing public affection, but were often caught going together.
Nicholas Tse clearly stated that he would not remarry. He believes that two people cherishing each other is enough, without being bound by paperwork.
