Joe Chen Spends Holiday with Rumored Boyfriend

Taiwanese actress Joe Chen (陳喬恩) was spotted a few days ago with her rumored boyfriend, Zhang Bujin (張卜今), enjoying a meal at a hot pot restaurant. Also present were some of Joe’s family members, which suggests that she and Bujin may be close enough to consider marriage.

Two days ago, Joe returned to Taiwan to spend time with her family during the Dragon Boat Festival, according to Taiwanese news reports. They were seen at a hot pot restaurant on Linjiang Street and later went to the Tonghua Night Market to stroll around.

Zhang Bujin, who is rumored to be Joe’s current boyfriend, was with the actress and her family the entire time. Bujin previously served as an assistant to Taiwanese politician Hsieh Kuo Liang (謝國樑) and is also known for having dated Taiwanese actress Kimi Hsia (夏于喬).

When asked about the rumors, Joe’s older brother and manager, Chen Jiawei (陳嘉偉), stated that Bujin is actually his assistant and was merely helping him take care of some of his duties. “He is not Joe’s boyfriend,” he clarified.

Joe shot to fame in Taiwan after starring in the idol drama, Fated to Love You <命中注定我愛你>, in 2008. In recent years, however, she has increasingly focused her career on the mainland Chinese entertainment market. Her most recent drama, Destined to Love You <偏偏喜歡你>, which also features Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) and Jia Nailiang (賈乃亮), began airing on Hunan TV on June 16.

Joe appeared at number 61 on Forbes Magazine’s 2015 list of Chinese celebrities, which ranks stars according to their income and media exposure rate. Following her on the list are pop singer Chris Lee (李宇春), actor Hu Ge (胡歌), and pianist Lang Lang (郎朗).
