Jacky Wu Posts Rare Photo With All Four Of His Kids On Father’s Day In Taiwan
It still counts if two of them had their faces covered by emojis right?
Taiwanese variety show host Jacky Wu might be known for his no-holds barred, no-filter hosting style, but when it comes to his personal life, he's the complete opposite. The 57-year-old is so fiercely protective of his family that he lied about being married with kids for a decade before he was forced to come clean. and apologise for not telling the truth.
Even after going public about his marriage with artist Chang Wei Wei, he has tried to keep his children, Sandy, 29, Vivian, 27, Olivia, 24 and Rick, 21, out of the spotlight. That is, until his eldest daughter decided to take the plunge and join showbiz. These days, Sandy has taken on jobs with her father, whom many say is why she's been getting more hosting gigs despite being just a rookie.

For Vivian, Olivia and Rick, however, Jacky remains very protective of them and avoids showing their photos on public platforms. [Ed: The pic above was posted by Sandy.] On Father’s Day, which falls on August 8 in Taiwan, however, he made an exception and uploaded a photo of himself with all four of his kids on social media. Father’s Day is celebrated on that day because the date (8/8) in Chinese sounds like 'ba ba' which means 'dad'.
While netizens were overjoyed to see Jacky posting a photo of his brood, they quickly realised that Vivian and Olivia’s faces were covered with emoji stickers. In case you're wondering why Rick did not get the emoji treatment, it's 'cos he's a musician thus he's in the public eye and he also made headlines in 2018 after he was slapped with a S$22K fine for making a bomb threat which he claimed was a joke.

Netizens joked that Jacky will likely not have to emoji-fy Vivian next year as well. The 27-year-old recently got engaged to Wilson Chiang aka the nephew of Kuomintang politician Eric Chu, who ran for presidency in 2016. When the pair gets married, Vivian will not be able to avoid getting her photos splashed across news sites.
Little is known about Vivian, except that she graduated from an arts school in Seattle. On his second kid, Jacky once said: “[Vivian] often feels that Sandy had the best of everything [because she was our firstborn], and that we dote on Olivia the most. My heart hurts to know that she feels this way.”
