Joe Chen Claps Back at Critics Questioning Her Ability to Have Children

Taiwanese actress Joe Chen, who turned 45 this year, recently responded to harsh comments from netizens questioning her ability to have children.

Chen, known for her roles in popular dramas like The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog and Fated to Love You, addressed these comments during a live broadcast, defending her personal choices and marriage.

Joe married Alan, whom she met on a reality show in 2019, and the two tied the knot in 2022. Despite the joy of her relationship, she has faced criticism over her age and not having children, with some netizens going as far as to predict a divorce due to her not becoming a mother.

During her broadcast, Joe didn’t hold back. She questioned the assumption that a marriage’s success depends on having children. “Is the length of a marriage dependent on having kids?” she asked bluntly. “If you have ten kids, does that mean your marriage would last long? That’s such a weird point of view.”

Joe also laughed off comments accusing her of caring more about her dog than having kids, sarcastically adding, “My dog can’t have kids either. I’m sorry, she’s been spayed!” She further questioned why her personal life was of such concern to others, pointing out that her decisions about motherhood don’t impact society.

Joe’s direct response resonated with many fans, who praised her for standing up to the hate. Her unapologetic stance served as a reminder that everyone’s personal choices should be respected, especially when it comes to matters like marriage and having children.
