Michelle Chen comments on Terry Gou's golf friend reports, praises wife's charity work

Taiwanese celebrity Michelle Chen has weighed in on recent media speculation surrounding Foxconn founder Terry Gou and his frequent interactions with a female golf companion. Chen, who attended the "2026 Love Inheritance Charity Concert" on April 4, commented on the situation when asked about Gou's wife, Zeng Xin-ying.

Chen described Zeng Xin-ying as a compassionate individual who dedicates her time to charitable causes. "We connected through charity work, and my impression of her is that she is very caring towards those in need. That's what I admire about her," Chen stated. She noted that while she hasn't seen Zeng Xin-ying recently, their connection stems from their shared involvement in philanthropy.

Previously, Chen had defended Gou's interactions, suggesting that having golf friends, both male and female, is normal, especially after playing a game. She indicated that socializing after golf is also common and doesn't necessarily signify anything untoward. The reports about Gou's close relationship with a female golf friend emerged recently, with some online commentators linking it to his past political ambitions and alleged marital difficulties, including reports of Zeng Xin-ying being unsupportive and even leaving home in protest.

You (the report) say her husband plays golf, and when you play golf, you'll have golf friends, both male and female! His interactions with female golf friends are also very normal, right? They often have dinner together after playing.
