Wife of Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband, 18 years his junior, describes marriage as ‘bittersweet’

“Life is full of ups and downs, both bitter and sweet. Everyone faces their own challenges, has their own story, and is doing their best,” Mandy shared in a recent Instagram post, reflecting on a memorable moment from her trip to Europe with her husband, according to China Times.

While relaxing in their hotel room at 11 p.m., she was surprised by fireworks outside the balcony, which were part of a wedding celebration. This prompted Mandy to reflect on her marriage to Wang.

Wang, 43, met Mandy, a 25-year-old businesswoman and divorcee, through a mutual friend. As reported by Sinchew, the couple married on May 27.

Wang shared that being with Mandy has given his life new meaning, and his housekeeper spoke highly of Mandy, calling her beautiful, gentle, and kind-hearted. Mandy is also said to have developed a close relationship with Wang’s daughter from his previous marriage to Hsu.

Hsu, 48, rose to prominence for her roles in TV series such as “Meteor Garden,” “Mars,” and “Summer’s Desire.”

The actress and Wang, 43, got married in 2011 and parted ways in 2021. They have two children together.

Hsu remarried DJ Koo, 55, three months after her separation from Wang. DJ Koo has since moved to Taiwan to reside with Hsu and her children.

Hsu initiated legal proceedings against Wang and his mother, businesswoman Zhang Lan, last year for defamation and disclosing her personal information. The former spouses have been engaged in a legal dispute ever since.
