Mark Chao Doesn't Mind Being Called "Gao Yuanyuan's Husband"

Mark Chao (趙又廷) and Gao Yuanyuan (高圆圆) are often referred to as the “model couple” among the industry. The couple started dating after filming the 2012 movie, “Caught in the Web” (搜索). The two got married in 2014 and welcomed their daughter, Rhea, in 2019. Since becoming a mother, Gao Yuanyuan has taken a step back from acting to take care of their daughter while Mark Chao continues to film. The couple also maintains a very private life and have never shared a picture of their daughter.
