They may appear to be the gold benchmark of relationships, and even had a shared ‘mental image’ foreshadowing a life together, but celebrity couple Felicia Chin and Jeffrey Xu aren’t perfect either. In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao for her upcoming drama I Do, Do I, Chin shared that she had a big fight with Xu when they were dating and they almost broke up.

She said, “A big reason is because we grew up in different environments. Although we speak the same language, the expressions and words are not necessarily the same, which sometimes leads to friction. In addition, we have different personalities. Although we love each other, the relationship may not stand the test.”

Chin, 39, recalled an incident on 31 Dec 2021 when they almost split. The couple were arguing before their church gathering and Chin had left in a huff.

“I walked pretty far, but suddenly I felt that I should go back, and I shouldn't leave like this... We almost broke up that night, but the pastor brought us back together.”

Now, the couple have been happily married for a year, and have been together for eight.

Felicia Chin has yet to test whether she is pregnant

On Chin’s YouTube series Let’s Take a Walk, Xu also credited Chin for helping him rediscover his passion for acting.

She texted him words of encouragement while they were filming the 2015 series Life - Fear Not, which he said stopped him from spiralling downwards.

Xu added, “Ever since I started out, up to that time, I have never received encouragement from a colleague. So when you encouraged me, I was surprised. I didn't know we could encourage each other.”

As for whether the couple will have kids, Chin told the Chinese daily that they’ll let nature take its course.

“I believe that this gift will come to us at the right time,” she said, while laughing and adding that she had yet to test whether she is pregnant.
