54-year-old Leo Ku attended his birthday party with his twin sons, rarely-seen wife and agent Joey Yung, saying a neat family is his most precious gain.
At 54-year-old Leo Ku’s birthday party, his agent Joey Yung sat beside him. He held the hands of his twin sons, and standing next to him was the woman who turned out to be his wife—whom he had kept hidden for more than a decade and who had rarely appeared in public before.
Leo Ku has been in the industry for nearly thirty years, and audiences know him best from two classic TV series: as the deeply romantic He Shuhuan in *Deep Love, Misty Rain*,and the Fifth Prince in *The Princess Returning Pearl: Part III*. He has also released numerous hit songs that have enjoyed immense popularity, establishing himself as a veteran artist with a firm foothold in both the Hong Kong music and film industries. Despite his long career, he rarely exposes his wife, daughter, or other family members to the public eye—a level of discretion that is quite rare in the entertainment industry.
His career in the entertainment industry has always been built on a solid foundation—it hasn’t been based solely on luck, but rather on clear planning at every step. Since entering the industry in 1991, he has balanced his singing and acting careers, steadily building industry connections and earning a positive reputation among audiences.In 2014, he quietly registered his marriage with his girlfriend; he held no grand banquet nor issued any press release, so almost no one outside their circle knew about it. When his eldest son was born in 2020, he only officially announced the news after the child had safely passed through the initial adjustment period—without a hint of calculated publicity throughout the entire process.Later, the decision to have a second child was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Rather, it stemmed from his eldest son frequently tugging at his shirttail and asking for a little brother or sister. Additionally, since both he and his wife grew up in families with siblings, they deeply understood that parents cannot be with their children for their entire lives—siblings are the ones who will provide lasting support for one another.When his younger son was born, his wife was considered an older mother. He waited anxiously outside the delivery room until the baby had safely passed the observation period before revealing the news to the public.After the birth of his
two sons, Leo Ku made significant adjustments to his life priorities, voluntarily putting his career on the back burner and declining all non-essential social engagements.When his eldest son’s kindergarten held its graduation ceremony, he deliberately donned an airtight astronaut costume and crouched backstage. He waited until the moment his son called out his name before removing the hood—prompting surprised screams of delight from the children in attendance. His eyes welled up with tears then; he could hardly contain his emotions.At that time, he had a backlog of commercial performance invitations, and the recording of his new album was also underway, yet he turned down more than half of his work commitments, no longer viewing his stage career as the sole focus of his life.
This birthday party marked the first time he had brought his wife and children together to a public event. There were no lavish decorations, nor was there a barrage of promotional press releases. The family of four stood hand-in-hand in front of the cameras, and he publicly declared that this was the most meaningful gift he had ever received in his life.As people reach a certain age, they naturally come to realize that having a family together—all under one roof—is far more substantial than any fleeting title.
Having been in the entertainment industry for decades, Leo Ku has seen his fair share of professionals who become restless and ostentatious at the slightest success. Now that he has reached the age of understanding his destiny, he ultimately regards family togetherness as the most precious reward in life.No matter how much fame and fortune one pursues in life, when looking back in old age, it is the simple, ordinary days spent with loved ones—enjoying warm meals together—that truly bring peace of mind. Making time to be with family every day is the most genuine way to cherish the life you have right now.
