Michael Lai and Gillian Chung married in late 2018 in a lavish wedding attended by many famous Hong Kong (China) artists. However, after only 14 months of marriage, the couple confirmed their divorce in 2020.
After their split, Michael Lai remarried Alice in 2022. The couple quickly welcomed their first son that same year, and in 2023, they welcomed a baby girl, seemingly enjoying a fulfilling life.

During their wedding, Alice emotionally shared, “Age 30 is truly wonderful.” She also affirmed that her husband is good-natured, accommodating, and very different from what public opinion suggested. After the wedding, she frequently posted happy photos with her husband and children on social media.
However, recently, Taiwanese media discovered that the couple had unfollowed each other on social media, and Alice had deleted all family photos. Rumors of Michael Lai’s third divorce quickly spread, but the famous aesthetic doctor has remained silent, offering no response.
Three Tumultuous Marriages
Before Alice and Gillian Chung, Michael Lai was married to a flight attendant in 2016. They met through work, married after a few months of dating, but separated after less than half a year of living together.
In 2017, he began dating Gillian Chung. Although four years younger than the actress, Michael Lai was reportedly the one who actively pursued the Twins member. When the couple first started dating, rumors about Michael Lai’s past were mentioned by Chinese media, but Gillian Chung asserted that she didn’t care and placed her complete trust in him.

During their wedding in the US, the Twins member teared up, saying she was happy to have found the right person after much past hurt. Michael Lai also promised to care for and love his wife wholeheartedly.
However, their happiness was short-lived. After marriage, Gillian Chung proactively reduced her workload, focusing on family and hoping to have children soon. But just over a year later, the couple decided to separate, surprising the public.
Many opinions suggested that Michael Lai had leveraged Gillian Chung’s fame to promote himself and advance his career.
In January 2020, while they were still married, Michael Lai opened his own aesthetic clinic, with active promotional support from Gillian Chung. The appearance of the Twins singer helped the clinic quickly attract media and public attention.

However, it was later discovered that Michael Lai’s clinic was operating without full licenses, and some professional documents were suspected of being falsified. The incident severely impacted the male doctor’s reputation and sparked much controversy on social media.
Media revealed that before publicly announcing their split, Gillian Chung had filed for divorce twice, and Michael Lai was repeatedly rumored to have had extramarital affairs. Although the actress tried to reconcile multiple times, she ultimately chose to let go when she “had forgiven and waited too long.”
A friend of the couple stated that Gillian Chung and Michael Lai had disagreements on life perspectives right after marriage. The couple could not agree on financial plans, having children, and became very distant.
