Vivian had previously mentioned in an interview that his future wife would have to fulfil these basic requirements: take on his surname, always wear her wedding band, and to be willing to share their assets.
Fans got wind of this and wondered if Jolin, who has a net worth of NTD 20 billion (approximately S$900 million) and is not considering marriage in the near future, would agree to such a conservative arrangement. True enough, the pair broke up a month later.
However, Jolin’s manager refuted the rumours of the couple splitting due to differing opinions on marriage and explained, “They decided to break up after discussing about it and are still good friends. Why would there be conflicts about money between them when both of them spend their own money?”
Friends of the two also felt that they would not have dated for such a long time if they did not see eye to eye regarding the issue of marriage.
Following the split, the 36 year-old continued working as per normal and even won a fondant cake competition in London last month. It looks like she will not be meeting Vivian or returning to Taiwan anytime soon as she has her hands full with overseas performances on Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
The singer continued to keep a low-profile with issues regarding her personal life and refrained from discussing the details of her break up, but fans are wondering if she had actually initiated the split, but chose to protect the actor from negative remarks from the media by announcing that it was an amicable break up.
