For years, Kevin Cheng was one of TVB’s most sought-after leading men, admired for his handsome looks, versatile acting, and high-profile romance rumors. Today, the Hong Kong actor has settled into a quieter life, happily married to Grace Chan, the former Miss Hong Kong winner who is 22 years younger than him.

Born in 1969, Kevin Cheng first entered the entertainment industry as a singer. At just 16, he auditioned for a TVB talent competition but withdrew midway due to a lack of confidence.

Four years later, he found his true calling in acting. After landing his first leading role in Rhythm of Love, Kevin Cheng rose to prominence and won his first TV King (Best Actor) award for Under the Canopy of Love. He went on to establish himself as one of Hong Kong television’s biggest stars with acclaimed dramas including: The Legendary Siblings, Forensic Heroes, Heart of Greed, Scarlet Heart. Although his filmography is not the largest among TVB actors, many of his performances remain fan favorites.

Kevin Cheng’s personal life attracted almost as much attention as his acting career. He earned a reputation as one of TVB’s biggest heartthrobs, frequently becoming the subject of romance rumors with his female co-stars. His most talked-about relationship was with Charmaine Sheh, while he was also linked to actresses including Liu Shishi and Ying Er.

Despite constant speculation, few of these rumored relationships were ever officially confirmed. Many fans believed it would take someone truly special to win the heart of one of Hong Kong entertainment’s most eligible bachelors.

That person turned out to be Grace Chan. The pair met while filming TVB’s supernatural drama Blue Veins in 2014. What began as an on-screen partnership soon blossomed into a real-life romance. They went public with their relationship a year later, sparking heated discussion due to their 22-year age difference.

Some of Kevin Cheng’s fans argued that Grace Chan was too young and inexperienced, while others questioned whether the relationship could last. Grace’s supporters, meanwhile, felt Kevin Cheng was too old for the former beauty queen.

Rumors also surfaced claiming Kevin Cheng was attracted to Grace because of her affluent family background. Her father reportedly built a fortune through the oil industry, while her family also owns a successful chain of convenience stores. Despite the criticism, the couple remained committed to one another and married in 2018.

Following their wedding, Kevin Cheng chose to remain primarily in Hong Kong to focus on family life rather than pursuing more acting opportunities in mainland China. The couple welcomed their first son in February 2019 before expanding their family with two more boys over the following years. Grace Chan has also significantly reduced her work schedule to devote more time to raising their children.

Kevin Cheng has become increasingly selective about his acting projects, preferring to spend time with his family. According to HK01, the family lives in a residence measuring more than 100 square meters. The property, reportedly purchased in 2016, was said to have been gifted by Grace Chan’s parents and is estimated to be worth around VND 300 billion.

Now approaching his 60s, Kevin Cheng continues to impress fans with his youthful appearance and fit physique. Despite the significant age gap, many fans believe he and Grace Chan remain one of Hong Kong entertainment’s most admired celebrity couples.

Rather than making headlines for his dating life, the former “playboy” is now best known for his stable marriage and devoted role as a husband and father.
