Recently, Taiwanese artist Ruby Lin shared a series of photos on social media while traveling in Milan, Italy with her mother. The mother-daughter duo, both with radiant smiles, posed intimately in front of the Milan Cathedral and by the lakeside, displaying matching dimples and sweet smiles that caught the attention of many netizens who praised them as “a divine replica” and remarked on the strong family beauty genes.
In the photos, Ruby Lin appeared bare-faced with light makeup, looking relaxed and youthful. Her mother sported a chic silver-gray short haircut, wore sunglasses, exuded a stylish demeanor, and appeared spirited and elegant. Ruby Lin leaned affectionately against her mother. What amazed viewers the most was how the mother-daughter pair showcased identical smiles in front of the camera, with matching mouth corners and expressions, even their dimples seemed like they were copied and pasted.
Aside from the heartwarming mother-daughter photos, Ruby Lin also posted a makeup-free selfie with her friend Shu Qi in Milan. Both women appeared without any makeup, looking relaxed and natural. Ruby Lin added a heart emoji in the caption, leading netizens to express envy and comment, “Both goddesses are 50 years old, yet their beauty remains ageless.”
The “dimple gene” in Ruby Lin’s family has always been a topic of interest. Ruby Lin has a dimple on her right cheek, while her husband, Wallace Huo, has one on his left cheek. Their daughter, Little Dolphin, flawlessly inherited her parents’ features, having dimples on both sides, creating an adorable double dimple effect.
In a report from years ago, on January 6, 2017, Ruby Lin gave birth via cesarean section to a 3300-gram daughter, with Wallace Huo present throughout the delivery. Many friends from the entertainment industry also sent their blessings. Although the low-profile couple did not intend to disclose their daughter’s photos, Ruby Lin joyfully described her daughter’s traits, saying, “She has two dimples, just like we each have one side, but she combines both, it’s fun!” She also revealed, “Her dad (Wallace Huo) can’t bear to put her down, he keeps holding her.”
Ruby Lin is widely known in the entertainment industry as a “filial daughter.” She once openly stated that she was deeply influenced by her mother’s “leading by example” filial piety from a young age, believing that being filial to parents is a moral imperative, and the ultimate filial piety is not about material gifts but about companionship. Ruby Lin mentioned that before getting married, she spent years acting in mainland China, with very limited time to return to Taiwan each year. But whenever she was in Taiwan, she would decline unnecessary social engagements and choose to spend time with her parents.
Ruby Lin’s mother has a great fondness for coffee, and whenever Ruby Lin has free time, she accompanies her mother to coffee shops. Sometimes her mother invites a few friends, and Ruby Lin quietly sits beside her, making her mother feel very cherished in front of her friends. Just like the recent attention on their Milan trip, Ruby Lin frequently arranges mother-daughter solo trips during her work breaks, accompanying her mother to relax, take photos, and capture her mother’s radiant smiles.
It is known that Ruby Lin’s parents divorced when she was in the first grade, and she was raised by her mother. During the days when her parents were separated, Ruby Lin never harbored any resentment towards either party; instead, she showed her mother double the love. Later on, Ruby Lin played a mysterious role in bridging the gap between her father and mother, eventually leading to their reconciliation. Ruby Lin highly values this hard-earned happiness, not only frequently accompanying her elderly parents but also organizing a significant “golden wedding” celebration for them, making up for past regrets.
