Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan, who married Taiwanese artist Mark Chao in 2014, now has a 6-year-old daughter named Rhea. The family of three is filled with happiness and joy. Recently, Gao Yuanyuan was spotted with her daughter at Beijing airport, and their heartwarming interaction caught the attention of many. The adorable appearance of Rhea also led netizens to exclaim, “She’s like a mini Mark Chao with braids.”
A video of Gao Yuanyuan and her 6-year-old daughter at Beijing airport surfaced on Chinese social media recently. In the video, Gao Yuanyuan, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, donned a low-profile look in a gray t-shirt and jeans, while 6-year-old Rhea sported a yellow t-shirt with shorts and a pink hat. As Gao Yuanyuan pushed the luggage, Rhea first followed behind her mother before sitting obediently on the suitcase, allowing Gao Yuanyuan to pull it while occasionally checking on her daughter to make sure she was secure. This mother-daughter interaction warmed the hearts of netizens who commented on how heartwarming it was.
Upon leaving the terminal, Gao Yuanyuan held her daughter’s hand as Rhea clung to her mother’s clothes, displaying a sense of reliance that melted fans’ hearts.
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan and Mark Chao are very protective of their child’s privacy, rarely showing Rhea’s full face on social media. When spotted by fans at the airport this time, Gao Yuanyuan politely requested, “Please cover the baby’s face for me,” and as a result, Rhea’s face was obscured throughout the video. By safeguarding her daughter’s privacy while maintaining a gracious demeanor, Gao Yuanyuan’s high emotional intelligence earned praises from netizens.
It is worth noting that despite Rhea’s face being covered in the video, her rapid growth is still evident as she reaches almost the height of Gao Yuanyuan’s shoulders. Observing Rhea’s faint features in the video, netizens couldn’t help but exclaim, “She’s definitely a spitting image of Mark Chao with braids.”
Gao Yuanyuan and Mark Chao met while filming the movie “Caught in the Web” in 2012. Despite their five-year age difference with Mark being the younger one, the low-key couple’s relationship has always been a source of admiration.
Mark Chao, who is always attentive to Gao Yuanyuan, revealed his ideal view of love by stating, “A close and intimate marriage between parents is the epitome of my vision of love.” His popularity soared after starring in the TV drama “Eternal Love” in 2017, where he expressed, “Love is very important to me. I am not an ambitious person in my career. If I have to choose between career and family, I will definitely choose family.” He mentioned that his daily routine without work involves “staying at home” because “I love spending time with Yuanyuan.”
During a television program where peculiar questions about love and marriage were raised, Mark Chao boldly declared, “I want to marry Gao Yuanyuan in all my lifetimes!” his words resonated with the audience, touching many.
Whenever Gao Yuanyuan talks about Mark Chao, her words are always full of sweetness. Once, when asked by the media about her favorite male star in Taiwan, Gao Yuanyuan unequivocally responded, “First is Mark Chao, second is also Mark Chao… and the hundredth is still Mark Chao.”
Mark Chao once described their relationship as being “in sync.” What one of them thinks, the other understands; their preferences align perfectly. Netizens showered blessings upon them, likening their love story to the meaning conveyed by their daughter’s name “Rhea” – a gentle flow that leads to eternal happiness.
