Taiwanese celebrity Jerry Yan (言承旭) has always been very low key about his personal life. His high profile on-and-off relationship with Lin Chiling (林志玲) has always been under public scrutiny throughout the years. While the two have never directly confirmed their relationship, they’ve been caught together before through eyewitness accounts and pictures. At a Japan fan meeting last October, Jerry Yan thanked his girlfriend for being there for him. However, chances for her to be Lin Chiling were shot down when she denied being his girlfriend the following month.
