Jackie Chan and his relationship with his stepchild gradually thawed

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

After more than 20 years of being cold, the relationship between Jackie Chan and his stepson Ngo Trac Lam is gradually reconciling.

In addition to the legal marriage with actress Lam Phung Kieu, the Chinese entertainment industry knows that Jackie Chan also has an affair with actress Ngo Y Loi. The actor born in 1954 once admitted to making "a mistake that men in the world can make" at a press conference event.

Ngo Y Loi gave birth to his daughter Ngo Trac Lam in 1999 after dating Jackie Chan. But the actor has never admitted this child, so Ngo Trac Lam was born by his mother's surname.

For decades, Jackie Chan was said to have not cared about Ngo Trac Lam and she was often associated with the phrase "the child being abandoned by Jackie Chan" in the media.

In her childhood, Ngo Trac Lam was isolated by friends because of the label "ex-child". At the age of 15, she reported to the police due to conflicts in her education with her mother, and at the age of 18, she publicly became gay and left for Canada with her girlfriend.

Ngo Trac Lam went through a difficult time living abroad. She queued in the cold breeze of Toronto to receive relief bread, huddled and sleeping under the overpass. At the same time, Jackie Chan was still the center of attention amidst the stage lights, being honored with the Oscar Lifetime Achievement statuette.

In 2018, Ngo Trac Lam posted a video on social networks publicly searching for his father: "I am Thanh Long's daughter, I need help", the scene behind it is a patchwork wall of a cheap housing area. But Thanh Long did not respond.

At that time, the media reported that Jackie Chan and his son Phong To Danh (with his legal wife) participated in charity activities, the image of father and son happily contrasting sharply with Ngo Trac Lam's decline.

The relationship between Jackie Chan and Nicky Wu is so tense that it seems irreversible. But a turning point has come at the end of 2025.

Jackie Chan's team secretly transferred information about the poster design bidding for the movie project "Level 2" to Ngo Trac Lam's studio. However, the conditions were very strict, she had to compete on par with 5 veteran global companies, without any favoritism. Ngo Trac Lam and his team edited 18 drafts, and they were finally approved.

The contract is signed at market prices, according to the standards of normal commercial cooperation. But the media believes that this is a sign that the relationship between Jackie Chan and his offspring is gradually improving.

The media discovered that Jackie Chan had used an intermediary to pay Ngo Trac Lam's remaining house rent in Canada; and at the same time established a trust fund of 40 million HKD, stipulating that each month she would pay living expenses for her daughter, and the remaining money would only be used after she completed her university program.

These silent help of Jackie Chan was only revealed after the bidding for the film poster design project ended.

Ngo Trac Lam has now returned to Hong Kong (China), but she does not live in a luxurious villa on Ban Son hill of Jackie Chan, but rents a small rented room for 4,000 HKD/month.

During the day, Ngo Trac Lam worked as a design assistant, at night she went to the market to sell hand-drawn T-shirts. All profits were reinvested by her for the studio, the first order was to draw album covers for a band, the fee was only HKD 3,000.

Ngo Trac Lam's Instagram account increased from 30,000 to 420,000 followers, poster tour design orders and movie posters have also been fully booked until mid- next year.

When asked if she would receive private sponsorship from Jackie Chan, she replied: "My income is enough to pay for the house, and more to buy color". She also silently deleted all previous articles criticizing Jackie Chan.

In a livestream, Ngo Trac Lam shared: "He watched the poster I made but the bidding process was the same as everyone else", showing that the father-son relationship has improved, but that did not mean she was "specially" favored by Jackie Chan in her work.

On the very day of Jackie Chan's birthday, Ngo Trac Lam posted on social networks a hand-drawn photo without a signature: the back of a man at sunset, the cracked ice surface under his feet, a green sprout sprouting from the ice crevice. The caption only had three words: "Destroying the ice".

Jackie Chan did not publicly respond, but staff discovered that his phone wallpaper had been changed to this drawing.
