The sudden passing of actress Từ Hy Viên on February 2 has left not only her fans heartbroken but also significantly impacted the life of her ex-husband, businessman Uông Tiểu Phi. Recent reports indicate that he is facing severe challenges both emotionally and financially.
Emotional Turmoil and Financial Crisis
According to 163 News, since Từ Hy Viên’s death, Uông Tiểu Phi has been in a state of severe emotional distress. In addition to facing harsh public criticism, he is reportedly burdened with debts exceeding 4.5 billion New Taiwan dollars (approximately $140 million). This financial strain has led to business partners withdrawing support, canceling leases, and forcing him to postpone store openings.
On February 6, a close friend revealed that Uông Tiểu Phi is experiencing serious mental health issues, including a recurrence of depression. This has placed immense pressure on his relationship with his current wife, Mandy, a popular socialite. She has publicly defended her husband, urging netizens to stop criticizing him and affirming her commitment to caring for his two children from his previous marriage.
Custody of Two Children and Asset Division
Amidst the chaos, Từ Hy Viên’s family decided to grant Uông Tiểu Phi custody of their two children, who will now live with him and his wife in Beijing. However, concerns have arisen due to his unstable financial and psychological condition.
Regarding inheritance, Chinese media reports that Từ Hy Viên left behind assets worth approximately $30 million, including luxury properties such as land near the Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (valued at 44.38 million RMB) and a high-end penthouse (valued at 80 million RMB).
Từ Hy Viên’s current husband, Korean DJ Koo Jun Yup, announced he is renouncing his inheritance rights, leaving all assets to her mother. According to legal experts, transferring these assets will incur significant taxes. Moreover, disputes over asset division between Từ Hy Viên’s family and Uông Tiểu Phi remain unresolved.
Legal Issues and Family Pressure
Beyond inheritance, Từ Hy Viên’s family continues to address legal matters concerning alimony payments owed by Uông Tiểu Phi—a matter left unresolved before her passing.
MC Từ Hy Đệ, Từ Hy Viên’s younger sister, is actively assisting her mother and brother-in-law in navigating these legal battles. With support from her family, known for their legal expertise in Taiwan, she hopes to find a fair resolution for all parties involved.
Conclusion
Life for Uông Tiểu Phi after Từ Hy Viên’s passing has been fraught with challenges. Despite gaining custody of their two children, he continues to grapple with financial difficulties and mental health struggles. The division of Từ Hy Viên’s estate is expected to be prolonged and complex, requiring transparency and calmness from everyone involved.
