Jackie Chan’s Real Daughter, Etta Ng: What To Know About His Estranged Child
Jackie Chan, the legendary actor known for his action movies and incredible stunts, has recently made headlines due to a viral clip from his 2023 film, ‘Ride On.’ The clip shows Jackie shedding tears alongside his on-screen daughter, Liu Haocun, as they watch some of Jackie’s most memorable stunt scenes. However, several fans have mistakenly assumed that Liu is Jackie’s real-life daughter. In reality, Jackie is estranged from his adult daughter, Etta Ng.
Jackie Does Not Have A Relationship With Etta
Etta Ng, whose full name is Etta Ng Chok Lam, was born in 1999 to Jackie and Elaine Ng. It has been reported that Jackie had an affair with Elaine, a beauty and pageant queen in the 1990s, while he was married to his wife, Joan Lin. Despite being Jackie’s biological daughter, Etta has made it clear that she does not have a relationship with him. In a 2015 interview with E! News, Etta stated, “He is my biological father but he is not in my life. He never existed in my life. I will never regard him as a father.”
Etta is content with her situation and has expressed that she does not hold anger towards her father. She stated, “I am not angry with my father, and have never wished to see him. As long as I have my mother with me, I don’t need my father.” Etta and her mother live private lives in Hong Kong, away from the spotlight.
Etta Came Out As Lesbian In 2017
In 2017, Etta publicly came out as a lesbian and queer through a series of Instagram posts. The first post featured her silhouette against a rainbow background, accompanied by hashtags signaling her sexual identity. The overwhelming support she received from followers prompted her to express her gratitude in a second post. In her message, she expressed her desire to use her experiences to help others and highlighted the importance of love and acceptance.
Etta Is Married To Andi Autumn
Etta found love and support in social media influencer Andi Autumn, and the pair got married in November 2018. They have shared their journey and experiences on social media, advocating for love, understanding, and acceptance. In one of her posts, Etta wrote, “We have concurred our fears, accepted our faults, and now we understand that the people who hurt us are hurting still…Love is kind, it does not judge. Love is both strength and weakness. Love can make change. Love wins!”
Etta Claimed She Was Homeless Due To Her Father’s Hate
In an emotional video shared on YouTube in April 2018, Etta and Andi claimed that they were homeless due to the unsupportive attitudes of their parents. They alleged that they had been sleeping under a bridge and facing a lack of assistance from authority figures and LGBTQ shelters. The couple felt helpless and frustrated with their situation, as they did not know where to turn for help. It remains unclear whether Etta was eventually taken in by her mother or how the couple’s circumstances have since changed.
Jackie Chan Has Admitted To Neglecting Etta
Although Jackie Chan rarely speaks about his daughter in public, he has acknowledged his neglectful behavior towards her. During the promotion of his 2013 movie, ‘Police Story 2013,’ Jackie discussed a scene in the film where his character’s daughter walks away from him. He admitted that the scene reminded him of his own daughter and confessed, “I have neglected her for the longest time.” While Jackie’s reflection suggests regret, it does not clarify the extent of his current involvement in Etta’s life.
Overall, the relationship between Jackie Chan and his daughter Etta Ng is strained, with Etta emphasizing her independence and contentment without him. Both Etta and Andi Autumn continue to advocate for love, acceptance, and understanding for the LGBTQ community. The story highlights the complexities of familial relationships, personal growth, and the importance of support and acceptance for individuals and their chosen identities.
