The Complicated Relationship Between Jackie Chan and His Children. Jackie Chan, renowned for his acting career and martial arts prowess, has recently made headlines not only for his on-screen achievements but also for his complex relationship with his children. In a viral clip from his 2032 film “Ride On,” Chan and his on-screen daughter share an emotional moment reflecting on his character’s film legacy, shedding light on his private life as a father.

Chan’s son, Jaycee Chan, now 40, has followed in his father’s footsteps as an actor and musician but has faced challenges in achieving the same level of success. Their off-screen relationship has been rocky, particularly following Jaycee’s arrest in 2014 on charges of Ԁrug possession and hosting illegаl Ԁrug use in his home. During his six-month detention, Jaycee’s parents were absent from his hearing, and his father publicly denounced his actions. Jackie publicly apologized on behalf of his son and emphasized the importance of staying away from Ԁrugs. He also mentioned not leaving any money for Jaycee in his will, encouraging him to make his own way in life.

Despite the strained relationship, there have been attempts at reconciliation. Jackie shared photos on Weibo of himself giving Jaycee a haircut, indicating their efforts to reconnect. However, both father and son remain private about their personal lives.

Jackie’s daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam, born in 1999 from an affair with Hong Kong pageant queen and actress Elaine Ng Yi-Lei, has had a different journey. Jackie distanced himself from Elaine and Etta, maintaining no relationship with them. Etta, who came out as a lesbiаn in 2017, has stated that she does not consider Jackie Chan her father and has no desire to see him. She has found love with social media influencer Andi Autumn and the two got married in 2018.

The relationship between Jackie Chan and his children remаins complicated and distant. Jackie has refrained from discussing his daughter or their affair publicly. Meanwhile, Jaycee has made efforts to rebuild his bond with his father, but details about their current relationship remain scarce. The public glimpse into Jackie Chan’s private life through his film and his children’s statements highlights the complexities and challenges within their familial dynamics.
