Jackie Chan’s 19-year-old daughter Etta Ng has married her 31-year-old Canadian girlfriend.
The announcement comes after the pair were spotted arriving at Hong Kong International Airport at around 6am on Sunday morning.
An photo of the couple holding a marriage certificate dated November 8, 2018 was posted on an Instagram account that’s jointly-run by the couple.

An Instagram post by Ng’s partner Andi Autumn — under the caption “Back to Hong Kong as Wife & Wife” — from this morning features a photo of the couple wearing white, and a short video clip from what appears to be a wedding ceremony with the pair exchanging rings.

Ng also posted a photo of the couple this morning under the caption: “There is nothing greater than true love found. With love we’ve returned.”
It is not clear from the post if the couple are staying in Hong Kong for good, but the post then goes on wax lyrical about home and love (read below).

Ng — the daughter of Chan and his former beauty queen lover Elaine Ng — started dating Autumn in 2017, and they moved in together shortly after Ng came out as lesbian.
The relationship between Ng and her mother is known to be fraught with tension; in 2015, the elder Ng was arrested and later released by police following allegations of child cruelty.
In October 2017, the younger Ng dismissed allegations that she broke into her mother’s Happy Valley home after the elder Ng reported to the police that her home had been burgled and about HK$17,000 worth of goods had been taken.
The pair were believed to have moved to Canada earlier this year, but concerns for their welfare came about in April when they posted a YouTube video saying that they were homeless and needed shelter.
In that clip they also said they were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and that neither family, friends, or government services will help them.
That video came about shortly after CCTV footage appeared online showing the pair at a convenience store in Toronto, with Ng saying she wants to find her dad.
Since that video appeared, the pair went on to set up a Toronto-based company called UCHU, which they described on their Facebook page as a “multimedia, content creation company producing meaningful media projects.”
In April, Autumn updated her Facebook status to say she was engaged to an “Etta Zen.”
Journalists spotted the couple arriving at Hong Kong International Airport at about 6am on Sunday morning, Ming Pao reports.
When asked by reporters what the purpose of her visit was, Ng said that she was in the city for work, but wouldn’t say if it was related to UCHU.
When asked by reporters if the couple were married, Ng simply said “this is a surprise.”
Ng confirmed that she had been in touch with her mother, and when asked if she would move back in with her, she replied in English: “Who knows? Crazy world eh?”
When asked if she would go back to Canada, Ng said: “I’ll see where life takes me, I don’t know, I’m young, I have options.”
When asked by reporters to shine more light on the incident at the convenience store, she replied: “Oh that’s a funny story that I’ll have to tell another day, it’s too long for this walk.”
