Wang Leehom, 46, Unrecognisable When He Showed Up In Court To Face Ex-Wife In Custody Battle

A year after their ugly divorce scandal rocked showbiz, Wang Leehom, 46, and ex-wife Lee Jinglei, 37, met in court for the first time yesterday (May 16).

The couple are embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their three children and according to reports, Leehom is supposed to get visitation rights until their three children, daughters Jiali, eight, Jiana, six, and son Jiayao, four, turn 21.

However, Jinglei has refused to let the pop star see their kids, who live with her, prompting the Taipei District Court to summon both parties to court to understand the matter.

However, what caught the attention of netizens was how different Leehom looked.

Dressed in a suit and tie, glasses and a black mask, the Taiwanese singer, who had this hair combed back, looked almost unrecognisable.

There were comments on how he’s aged and that his grey hair was even more obvious when it was pulled back.

According to reports, Leehom left the court with his lawyer after about two hours. When asked by reporters how his divorce lawsuit was going, Leehom only nodded and said “thank you”, before getting to a waiting car and left.

Leehom’s lawyer declined to disclose what was discussed during the proceedings and if they had reached a consensus, only saying: "I hope all parents around the world can interact with their families freely.”

Jinglei, also tried to keep a low profile, exiting from another gate and hurriedly leaving in a car.

Leehom had previously lamented about not being able to see his kids and had taken Jinglei to court in New York for breaking their custody agreement.

During his comeback concert in Los Angeles this year, he performed his new song ‘Xiang Jian Jiu Neng Xiang Jian', translated as ‘Meet Whenever We Want’, which he dedicated to his kids.

However, Jinglei hit back telling him to “stop exploiting the kids" and that the “truth will always reveal” itself.
