Actor Jacky Heung is widely regarded as one of the most powerful “real chaebol heirs” in the Chinese entertainment industry. He is the son of legendary producer and entertainment tycoon Charles Heung and businesswoman Tiffany Chen Lan, and the nephew of Heung Tin, the notorious founder of the Hong Kong triad Sun Yee On. The Heung family’s immense influence in Hong Kong has long made Jacky Heung a figure few dare to challenge in showbiz.
In September 2019, Jacky Heung married Taiwanese actress Bea Hayden in a lavish wedding held in Italy. Bea Hayden was widely celebrated as a top-tier beauty, often dubbed “Taiwan’s fairy goddess” and “the Greek goddess of C-entertainment.” However, not long after the wedding, Jacky Heung became entangled in repeated infidelity rumors that rocked their marriage.
In July 2022, leaked screenshots of private messages and video calls between Jacky Heung and a former girlfriend spread rapidly across Weibo. The woman later claimed they had maintained a long-term relationship that ended only when Jacky married Bea Hayden, and alleged that he continued to contact her despite being married.
Chinese media identified the woman as Xiao Hu Jing, a model and influencer. While she admitted to a past relationship with Jacky Heung, she denied intentionally leaking the messages and insisted she had no intention of damaging his marriage. Jacky Heung’s mother, Tiffany Chen Lan, strongly denied the allegations, claiming the messages were fabricated and threatening legal action.
Public sympathy largely turned toward Bea Hayden, who remained silent throughout the controversy. Despite being repeatedly humiliated by cheating rumors some emerging while she was pregnant or recovering postpartum she chose not to divorce, reportedly for the sake of her children. According to Chinese media, the Heung family later intervened, offering property and issuing strict warnings to Jacky Heung to preserve the marriage.
Once hailed as a “national goddess,” Bea Hayden is now often described by netizens as one of the most pressured daughters-in-law in C-entertainment, her glamorous image overshadowed by marital scandals and the rigid expectations of an ultra-elite family.
