  • Pregnant with the King of Mandopop’s third child, the model and actress has already found time to star in Hollywood movies, even working alongside The Rock in thriller Skyscraper
  • Not only is Quinlivan an ambassador for Boucheron, she’s also a friend of Chanel and started her own fashion brands Jendes and Woof!

Born to an Australian dad and a Chinese-Korean mum, and raised in Taiwan, Hannah Quinlivan married the “King of Mando-pop” Jay Chou in a fairy tale wedding in 2015, and is currently pregnant with their third child.

Despite her humble beginnings as an aspiring starlet and retail store worker, Quinlivan has proven time and again that she’s more than just another celebrity wife. Also known as Jen Wu and Kun Ling, the Taiwanese-Australian talent has already built an impressive resume and become a force to be reckoned with in multiple industries – all while starting a family. And she’s only 28 (that’s 15 years younger than Chou).

Just like her husband, who stepped into Hollywood in The Green Hornet and Now You See Me 2, Quinlivan is planting a foot in the action thriller genre.

In 2018, the budding actress starred alongside superstars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Neve Campbell in the film Skyscraper as a feisty assassin named Xia.

The Rock even gave her a shout-out on Instagram when they were still filming in Vancouver. “Don’t judge this sweet lookin’ book by its cover – lethality comes in all sizes,” the film star captioned their photo.

What’s even more impressive is how the future mum-of-three auditioned for the role just days after giving birth to her son Romeo, as per Marie Claire. Her other successful projects include S.M.A.R.T. Chase and Nezha.
