Ngô Trác Lâm (born 1999), the daughter of Jackie Chan and former Miss Asia Ngô Ỷ Lợi, has faced significant financial struggles. While Jackie Chan has publicly stated he does not recognize her as his daughter, attributing the situation to a perceived “trap” by her mother, Ngô Ỷ Lợi reports never receiving support or communication from him. Ngô Trác Lâm herself has confirmed a lack of parental involvement.

Referring to Jackie Chan, Ngô Trác Lâm stated, “He is my father in terms of bloodline, but he has not been a good father in my growing years.” She further recounts being relentlessly pursued by paparazzi from a young age, exacerbating the difficulties she faced due to her lineage. This, combined with her challenging family circumstances, caused her significant emotional distress.

At age 16, Ngô Trác Lâm disclosed her mother’s alleged abuse, describing a suffocating living environment. Ngô Ỷ Lợi, according to reports, has struggled with alcohol addiction, often behaving aggressively toward her daughter. This tumultuous upbringing significantly impacted Ngô Trác Lâm’s emotional well-being. At 18, she left home, despite her mother’s pleas, and later publicly declared her sexual orientation, marrying her partner Andi, a Canadian woman.

Despite her happiness with her choice, her homosexuality created further strain with her mother, resulting in years of estrangement. Ngô Trác Lâm and her wife have resided in Canada and Hong Kong, facing considerable financial hardship in recent years. Reports indicate that they have been living in impoverished areas and resorting to food banks in Ontario, Canada. Lacking formal education and stable employment, Ngô Trác Lâm is supporting her wife, who suffers from social anxiety, through various odd jobs.
