Personal life

[edit]

In 2011, Joel Chan and Florinda Ho, the third daughter of "Gambling King" Stanley Ho, were repeatedly rumored to be in a relationship but the two denied the news. Joel Chan also admitted that he had gone through divorce procedures with his ex-wife Ponny Yeung with whom he had been in a relationship for 10 years at the end of 2010. In the early morning of August 14, 2011, Florinda Ho, the daughter of the rich businessman Stanley Ho, uploaded a photo on Weibo, officially publicizing the relationship.[2] In 2013, he and Florinda ended their two-year relationship.

On November 1, 2019, Chan married his out of industry girlfriend, Apple Ho, after dating for 5 years.[3][4] The two held a wedding banquet at the W Hotel in Hong Kong.[5][6][7] On 14 February 2020, he announced on Instagram that his wife was pregnant. On July 1 of the same year, his wife gave birth to their 7.1-pound son, Jaco Chan, by caesarean section.

Due to their common interest in long-distance running, Chan along with Benjamin Yuen, Brian Tse, Jack Wu, Nancy Wu, Paisley Wu, Elaine Yiu, Selena Lee and Mandy Wong formed the group “Crazy Runner”.[8]
