Here Is What Jet Li’s Four Elusive Daughters Look Like

The photo was a treat for his fans for two reasons: Jet looked much more like his usual sprightly self in the picture, and everyone got a rare glimpse of his statuesque daughters Jane, 18, and Jada, 15. Jane and Jada are Jet’s kids with his second wife, '80s sexpot actress Nina Li Chi. He also has two other daughters, Si Li and Taimi Li, who are in their late twenties, from his first marriage to Chinese former actress Huang Qiuyan.

Netizens joked that Jane and Jada, who were both wearing heels and towered over the 1.7m-tall Jet, looked like their old man’s glamazon bodyguards. They also noted that the girls had inherited their beautiful mother’s genes.

Fans who remembered Jet’s daughters from their childhood years also reminisced about the time when a precocious seven-year-old Jane was a guest dancer at Andy Lau’s concert (ah, the perks of having Jet Li as your dad).

It seems like Jane and Jada had inherited their dad’s penchant for philanthropy, and regularly help him out with his charity work. Jet, a longtime Chinese Red Cross ambassador, had founded his Shenzhen-based charity organisation One Foundation in 2007, some years after he and his family survived a close life-and-death encounter with the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 while vacationing in the Maldives.

Jet had also previously posted photos of Jane and Jada on Facebook, where he praised them for their enthusiasm for philanthropy. “Jada attended a XIN Philanthropy Conference with me and shared her experiences to the audience while Jada helped at the Rehabilitation Center for Hearing-Impaired Children in Northern China,” wrote Jet.

Proud dad Jet shared a photo of Jada hanging out with hearing-impaired kids in China.

Jane, who was one-year-old when she was swept away during the 2004 tsunami disaster, also shared about her near-death experience at a 2016 charity event. Jet had reportedly bravely plunged into the sea to save his wife and daughter. Goes to show he’s not just good at playing a hero onscreen, okay?

Now, if you think a glimpse of Jane and Jada is rare enough, photos of Jet Li’s two older daughters, Taimi and Si Li, are practically non-existent. While it was said that Jet and his ex-wife Huang Qiuyan remained amiable co-parents, he had also largely refrained from bringing their daughters into the limelight.

Chinese media circulated this photo of the low-profile Taimi Li, who is reportedly around 30 years old.

And this is a photo of Si Li, who looks like she has a healthy relationship with Jet. It’s no wonder that news of Jet being a super dad spurred netizens to call out fellow action star Jackie Chan, whose strained relationship with his illegitimate daughter Etta Ng has provided plenty of tabloid fodder.
