Jay Chou Will Not Have Pre-Nupital Agreement
Jay Chou (周杰倫) has been busy preparing his upcoming wedding with Hannah Quinlivan (昆凌). The couple will get married in Europe on January 18, which coincides with Jay’s 36th birthday. A larger banquet celebration will be held in Taiwan in February or March.
No Pre-nuptial Agreement
Although Jay has an estimated net worth of 1 billion RMB, he has never applied for any credit cards and continues to use cash. He revealed that after marriage, he would probably continue to get an allowance from his mother, whereas Hannah will manage her own finances separately. He also added that they will not sign any pre-nuptial agreements. He said, “I often don’t have any cash on me, and sometimes I even need [Hannah] to pay for me with her credit cards. I think this is what it means to be a family.”
Lasted the Longest with Hannah
Jay admitted that Hannah is not the first woman he had thought was “the one”. He had believed in that he found the right woman in past relationships, but they never seemed to last past the two-year or three-year mark. Hannah was woman Jay had dated for four years. He said candidly, “Being with me is not easy at all. She is the one who has to suffer, having been with me for so long!”
Jay treasured the “true love” he had with Hannah, as they rarely fought. In fact, it was so rare that Jay found it hard to even recall what they fought about.
Although the couple has a 14-year age gap, Jay said it was not a problem due to their similar personalities. “That’s because we are at the same level of maturity,” Jay laughed and said, “We are like little kids when we are together.” The only difference they had was their taste in movies, but Hannah would compromise by watching the movies that Jay did not like with her own friends instead.
Remains Close to Family
The couple’s wedding will be held in Europe with a vintage theme, to be attended by 50 guests. Despite the small size of the wedding, the costs are estimated at 2 million RMB. They will follow up with a wedding banquet in Taiwan, out of respect for his elderly grandmother who would be unable to attend the celebration in Europe.
Since Jay is very close to his mother, Hannah will move into their house after marriage. Hannah gets along very well with Jay’s marriage and the trio often takes vacations together. With their living arrangements after marriage, Jay is not worried about any conflicts between his mother and Hannah.
Jay also promised to release one album every year even though his main focus in life would be family after marriage.

Let’s see: no prenup, separate finances, living with mother-in-law because hubby is still a momma’s boy, 14 yrs difference….
Can we foresee a disaster in the making?
haha LOL… mama’s boy. Funny one..LOL…
Yes, sounds like a dude in love and showering w/love i/of of precautious w/a prenup agreement. Oh well, hope it lasts forever or split those millions in half.
Probably doesn’t matter. He prolly gives his mom his entire fortune to manage, seeing as he gets an allowance from her.
This means if they get divorced in the future, she might get some money from him, but most of it he’ll keep safe with his mom.
But dang, moving in with his mom?! She’s gotta play maid now to both him and his mom. I cant see that going very well in the future. A marriage is about two ppl, three’s a crowd.
Funny how little is discussed when it’s far more common for white guys to marry asian women with frequently 30-40 years in age differences: good example Rupert Murdoch (83) & his Asian wife (46) & posters here make a big deal of *one* Asian dude here marrying a girl 14 years his junior. The only problem I see here is Jay Chou’s poor decision of not having a pre-nupt even if all his future earnings go to his mother directly. It hasn’t stopped creative shysters & their gold-digging clients in the past.
Dude I think you mightve been under a bubble when all the backlash for Wendy and Rupert’s relationship was in the open. That lady and him too, of course, caught a shiz-ton of flack.
To be honest Wendy in her 40’s is way more handsome than Rupert was in his 40’s.
@coralie
I was following that ridiculous affair & can tell you that Jay Chou is copping more published flak than RP’s marriage to Wendi – funny thing is Jay isn’t even married yet to that young thing.
she will grow up and realize that there’s more…. living w/ MIL is not such a good idea.
It sounds to me that Hannah gives in a lot to Jay. Has Jay ever wonder that the reason why he didn’t work out with independent and mature ladies like Pattie and Jolin is because he is too hard to pleased? He sound very stubborn but Hannah is too young so he can definitely groom her into someone perfect for him.
When he said they don’t fight at all…I mean I know ppl say these kinds of couples exist, but I find it hard to believe. I find it easier to imagine she’s just too young and inexperienced to state objections. Typical subservient behavior until she grows out of it.
mature & independent women will not agree to this kind of marriage. this fella is NOT good-looking, stuck to mama and gets a wife to please both him and mama.
he looks like one of those popular Korean idols that girls go crazy over.
The dude is pretty lucky to date a mixed girl bc he’s not attractive man..
not ugly, but not handsome…but damn lucky to get a young wife.
not the best looking but jays talented as fuk mang
WTH – exactly how is Jay “lucky” for getting on with a mixed-race girl? She is not that attractive. More like this mixed girl is lucky to get a rich star. Most mixed girls end up in porn and/or abusive relationships because of early parental divorces & broken homes.
Err maybe in Japan…?
Cus from what I’m aware, a lot of mixed asian girls do pretty well for themselves in Asia.
I heard alot of mixed kids in Asia are the result of broken marriages. The high rate of divorce between AW and WM in places like Japan will do that. I’ve heard of stories of prostitutes in places like Thailand, Philippines and China where the client was white and they ended up getting pregnant. So I agree, not sure what’s lucky about getting a “mixed race” girl. Hell I know some pretty f@cked up mixed race girls here in the US
@Edge
As it were, westerners face higher divorce rates than those living in East Asia. So, can you imagine how much higher those rates will be when you factor in religious/cultural/racial/socioeconomic differences between AMWF/AWWM couplings? The gods forbid they produce a child just shortly before separation & divorce. Then, we’ll get a kid who’s for most parts, barely tolerated.
@coralie:
Other than “models”, nope. Not known for any scientific or academically rigorous achievements.
“he would probably continue to get an allowance from his mother, whereas Hannah will manage her own finances separately”
“I often don’t have any cash on me, and sometimes I even need [Hannah] to pay for me with her credit cards. I think this is what it means to be a family.”
So he’s gold digging her instead? LOL
More like testing her than anything. How does he expect her to pay for anything in the future? I mean like, lmao, does his mom give her an allowance too?
“He revealed that after marriage, he would probably continue to get an allowance from his mother”
Is his family really rich?
probably he means his mum manages his fortune, idk…
no need to sign any pre-nup…mummy dearest holding all his money.
it was mentioned Hannah manages her own finances…but will she continue to work after giving birth to kids, or will mil give her an allowance too?
a young wife staying with her mother-in-law…I really don’t know why she is giving in so much.
Not a wise decision getting hitched without prenup. He will regret it if anything happens in their marriage. He might ended up penniless… Well…rich men uses cash only…credit card is for poor men who acts rich.
such a mama’s boy. hope they last. Hannah is still too young.
wait. If they’re dating for four years, that means the Hannah girl started going out with him when she’s around 16-17? Ew.
14 years difference is quite a gap…especially when she gets older and realizes the mind set is different. if living with mother in law, he will hardly grow up.
Base on this article, she was 18 when they started dating.
He’s 36 and they are 14 years apart, so she’s 22 now. They have been together for 4 years, so she was 18 at the time.
omg, this fella is still a mama’s boy.
at 35, his mother gives him an allowance every month? he is supposedly rich, but Hannah is paying for him using HER credit cards? the girl is obviously on the losing end…she has to stay with mother-in-law after the marriage and give birth to several kids??? which man wouldn’t like her?
I think that’s more of a respect to his mom. It seems like he’s the type that gives his mom money and have his mom give him ‘allowance’ (pretty sure he has money of his own anyways) to help him not spend as crazily as some other rich celebs.
Just because Jay Chou is rich doesn’t mean he has to pay for everything. Just like in a non celebrity relationship. Do you expect your bf to pay every time? If she’s willing to pay once in a while then I find it much more ‘normal’ and respectful of her. Unlike Raymond and Ka…forgot her name, where all you hear is Raymond buying her expensive bags all the time.
Just because theres a huge age gap doesn’t always mean that they’ll divorce. I’ve known some people who are only a yr or two apart and have divorced. You never really hear bad news of Jay Chou. He actually seems like a wise person
I agree with you completely. Jay Chou has been known to be a very filial son. I even went to his concert and he said his mom was also there that day. He’s just really close with his mom because she raised up him and he takes her to everywhere he goes, even when he’s doing concert tours. I don’t see anything wrong with that. That’s actually one aspect I like most about Jay. He’s really respect his mom and he just wants to be able to take care of her. Surely, most people would not live with their parents after marriage but because Jay’s mom is a single mother. If he leaves her after marriage then she’s all alone by herself. Maybe Jay just feel the need to keep his mom by his side so she doesn’t feel all alone. There’s nothing wrong with that.
And I totally agree with you about the whole thing sharing expenses to be normal in a relationship. Just because you are married to someone or dating someone, the male partner should be responsible for paying for everything. Don’t most husbands and wives split cost to pay house expenses and bills and such? It would be unfair to have only one person pay it all the time. And Jay mentioned that he “sometimes” ask Hannah to pay with her credit card, do that doesn’t necessarily mean she ask him to pay ALL the time. Personally, I’m more of the type of person who would hate to have my husband or boyfriend pay for everything. I believe both partner should have equal rights to pay for their own expenses as well as shared expenses like a mortgage or house appliances and etc.
Don’t HV to sIGN Pre nup since most of his wealth under his mom name?. Sounds very scary..married to a man who controlled by his mom…
Marriage is a lifetime commitment. I feel it is good that he didnt go for pre-nup as this means his determination in making the marriage works.
Living with ML is ok provided she is understanding and the couple has their own personal space.
Asking his mother to look after his finance is a wise move as at least this could prevent people from asking him for money. This could be why he could accumulate so much fortune.
However it is not healthy to only watch movies that he likes. This action is a little selfish. Both parties must give and take. Otherwise one day the other party will be so tired for always giving in and that is when it is too late.
Maybe this is true love.
I don’t understand what’s with the comments about attractiveness… I honestly do find him attractive, he’s nowhere near ugly IMO..
I just hope he doesn’t end up having no money if anything happens to their relationship.
Best wishes to them!
I don’t foresee the 14 year age gap as a prelude to a disastrous marriage for them as I would have maybe three or four years ago.
This is because their relationship has outlasted even my loftiest estimation and I think it was wise of them to not get immediately into marriage and dated for these many years first because of that age gap.
Now that they have a great understanding of each other’s strength and flaws, I’m optimistic that they will prove the naysayers wrong.
Not having a pre-nup further indicates their confidence in each other.
There isn’t a need for pre-nup since it sounds like all of Jay’s fortune is under his mom. If they were to split in the future, Hannah won’t get much if everything is under her MIL’s name. Jay is actually pretty smart, he knows how to protect his richness.
she will not want to live with the mother in law before long. no matter how understanding the elder is, she’s not her own mother and she will eventually come to resent MIL’s opinions, especially after having children.
regardless of whether she is a gold-digger or not, she’s sacrificing a lot to be with jay – her youth, her voice, maybe even her freedom. don’t really envy her as much as karena, who has LF eating out of her hand.
it’s not a good idea to live with MIL…no matter how open-minded she is. ultimately she will protect her son. if mama’s boy here listens to mama, where does Hannah stand? she is giving in too much and if she wants to get back some say, it will be hard.
Hannah has no say. Mom and son will gang up on Hannah. Hannah will surely lose. Marriage is doomed and will likely end in divorce if the mom lives together with them.
I just find it kinda disturbing when jay said he finds their mentality really similar or whatever. What could you possibly have in common with a what – 18/20 yr old? Cradle robbing her youth in order to make himself feel younger. Or worse, he really is like her…makes you wonder how healthy is his emotional and psychological growth.
Well, that’s a very subjective argument. He might be way older than her, but doesn’t meant mentally he’s more matured. It’s good that he had admitted that they are both compatible.
So what’s your point?
That his immaturity is a good thing from both an emotional and psychological standpoint?
most men are known to mature later.
Hannah moving in to stay with MIL after marriage…not only have to learn to live with husband as well as MIL. poor girl.
Extrapolating their age gap according to this recent statistical study, the Jay/Hannah marriage stands more than 40% likelihood of ending up in divorce.

sorry about the error
In which country is Hannah born and raised?
Taiwan!
It literally looks an arrangement deliberately made to end in disaster lol. I wish them both luck tho.
There are 3 things on how Man sees a Woman:
1) LUST said that the Woman is Beautiful based on her Physical Appearances
2) MIND said that the Woman is Beautiful based on her Knowledge and Wisdom
3) HEART said that the Woman is Beautiful based on her Character
So, Jay which above category you fit it? You know yourself… In reality, most Men always on the First Item… For those Men who chose their girlfriend on item 2 & 3, I respect them…
No offense, but I think Hannah spoke “too soon” in front of the press that “I’m afraid I can’t find someone else who treat me good” – so naive…. Of course, she is so young… I don’t blame her but I pity her..
For me, if the person you married whether is a good person or bad person (then, wait) until they die (people will leave us someday) and from there, you yourself will be able to see that in this Lifetime, oh I married a good man / good wife Or yeah, this Lifetime, I married a bad man / bad wife…
So, is too soon for her to say that as if she is going to be marry a good man… Come on, Jay is not a handsome but a very talented man with money…. If he takes you for holiday, who does not want to go with him?
But Jay is also naive to think that Hannah or someone younger than him makes him look young and easy to pleased him? He is so damn wrong…. Hannah will grow up and mind you, Jay – woman are a lot matured than Man…
Soon, Hannah will have her own different point of view later and the way you guys do things will be completely different…
Jay, I hope you don’t see Hannah as LUST of Her Physical Appearance and Hannah, I hope you don’t see Jay as GREED of Money…
If yes, then this marriage will not work…
Want to have Marriage work? That is – Live a Simple Mind, Do Not Have Desire or High Expectations of Each Other, then your Marriage will Work!
Good Luck to Both of You!
Hannah is very young…He said candidly, “Being with me is not easy at all. She is the one who has to suffer, having been with me for so long!”
she will suffer for the rest of her life married to this man.
Hi Janet,
Yes, you are right. Although in the eyes of public, they seem to be perfect but inside, Hannah will continue to suffer for the rest of her life marrying this man….
Good points LOL! I agree with you but in those 3 categories that you mentioned, I do not think it is just one of them. Of course with everyone,the looks have to come first because that is what draws you in. However, it will have to go beyond that in order to work. What you mentioned goes back to the old saying, guys like “se”(looks and beauty ) of women while the women like “Cai”(which is money/talent) of men. It will be sad if he is only after her looks and youth while she is only after his money. Living with the mother in law would be a pain too.
after marrying mummy’s boy and giving birth to a few kids, Hannah is just a tool. of course this jay’s mother will like her…young and can be controlled.

Yep, three generations under the same roof and soon to be four generations. Hannah should wait some years (to see how things will be) before having babies cuz babies are all the mother and son is after.
Hannah is born under Gen-Y and what I heard from my friend’s (their brother’s wife, who is born under Gen-Y) does Not Like to take care of Elderly.. In first place, they show some respect to their Elderly because they want to be with their sons but after married, things are not seem to be.. As for this “Trio” – best of luck to them…
When people are So Much in Love – they are Blinded with everything that either one of them should see it coming before they decided to get Committed…
@LOL,
You really believe in that stuff? I think it is fun for trivia but we should not take it too seriously. I used to really believe in that stuff until I got scammed and conned out of my money.
Haha you’re way to invested in this relationship. I ran out of fingers counting the number of assumptions you made. Funny read though
He doesnt have to sign any pre-nup because all his wealth is under his mom, he is penniless. And only gets allowance from mom. Smart and yes, a bit too mommy’s boy.
Hannah should make Jay sign a pre-nup. She may even become a bigger star than Jay in the future. Who knows?
Scenarios:
1) Easily pliable for both Jay and his mom. She is still young, dewy-eyed, inexperienced and sees Jay as her hero.
2) Bears a couple of kid. Matures, and realizes hero is a man-boy, and perhaps selfish and self-centred.
3) Man-boy decides Hannah is an old cow, and he deserves young nubile bodies.
Lose-lose for Hannah without the pre-nup.
I hate to admit it,but that may happen in the future.
This mummy’s boy has dated Hannah for 4 years…now at the age of 35, he wants marriage and a few kids. When she is no longer young and dewy-eyed, Hannah has lost her value.
Hope he has connection with the triad in case she gives him a nasty divorce in the future. It’s cheaper to pay the triad than to have your future ex wife takes you to the cleaner. Remember, dead people don’t tell tales.
Most of you probably think it’s a joke but in reality, I have heard lots of horror stories from coworkers, relatives, and even real estate agents while shopping for a home. They all told me about the same thing on how the ex husbands slaughter their ex wives because the divorce got too nasty and most of the time the men get screwed.
Moral of the story is that women want to marry rich older men should think twice about milking them.
Here is one story where the ex wife got really nasty on the divorce. She has 3 kids from different men yet she wants her now ex husband to pay her child support and alimony after he married her for a little over a year. So he took the laws into his own hands. He didn’t only murdered his ex wife but most of her family members during a christmas party at her parents’ house.
Here is the link, happy reading.

Thanks for the link. I do not remember hearing about that. But yes,it is a good lesson for women to be independent instead of thinking that you can always rely on and milk the guy.
jay’s not naive. neither is his mom.
you think with the kind of fortune he has, he doesn’t have some way to safeguard it? hannah won’t get a huge chunk of his wealth.
Yes, history’s riddled with “disappeared” ex-spouses of acrimonious divorces seeking alimony.
As one who knows a particularly successful shyster, there’re ways to dispute or override whatever Jay Chou & mother are plannning without the pre-nupt protection, especially if Hannah is at the beginning of her “career”, which she has to “sacrifice” for her marriage to Jay & becoming his wife. Very dangerous territory.
