Shawn Yue, Wang Tangyun Divorce After 9 Years; Actor Reveals Past Panic Disorder Battle

Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue announced his divorce from Taiwanese heiress Wang Tangyun on March 20, ending their nine-year marriage. The couple stated their separation is amicable and they will continue to co-parent their children.

“

Marriage is something we both learned a lot from. We still care about each other, but we no longer have this relationship. This is not a sad or difficult thing, because we will be better.

Wang Tangyun expressed that they both learned a lot during their marriage and will continue to care for each other, emphasizing that this is not a sad event. She described Yue as "still a good father, a good partner, and a safe harbor for this family," adding they are "family for life."

He is still that good father, good partner, and the safe harbor of this family. We are still family for life.

Yue, 44, relocated to Taiwan after marrying in 2017, significantly reducing his public appearances in Hong Kong to focus on family and his personal brand. His career has faced challenges in recent years.

“

I couldn't control my condition at that time. I tried to manage it well and didn't want this to happen again.

In 2023, Yue candidly shared the reason for his nearly five-year absence from the public eye, revealing he battled severe panic disorder. He explained that the condition worsened during the pandemic, causing extreme panic and an uncontrollable urge to flee. This illness not only impacted his mindset towards work but also led him to "increasingly dislike working."

I increasingly disliked working.
