Hong Kong action star Jet Li has directly addressed persistent public speculation that he favors his daughters with his current wife, Nina Li Chi, over his two daughters from his previous marriage.

In a rare interview alongside his younger daughter, Jada, Li refuted claims of neglecting his elder daughters. He revealed that his current wife had pledged to support his daughters from his first marriage, covering their education expenses and managing their life affairs even before their own children were born. Li emphasized that his current wife and his elder daughters have always maintained a good relationship.

Those assets are enough for them to live until they are 100 years old.

Responding to years of being labeled a "biased father," Li calmly stated that public perception often overlooks the reality of family dynamics, which are not as complicated as they might seem.
