Li Jinglei: I was married to Leehom Wang for 8 years and gave birth to three children in 5 years. How was the marriage status after that?

On November 27, 2013, Leehom Wang announced his relationship on social platforms.

He told everyone that his wife Li Jinglei is not a person in the entertainment industry or a star, but a girl he can hold hands with and want to have a happy future with.

As soon as the news came out, the topic instantly exploded on the Internet.

Over the years since his debut, Leehom Wang has created many widely sung songs such as "The Only One", "The One I Love", "Descendants of the Dragon" and "You Are a Song in My Heart".

At the same time, he has participated in films such as "Love Announcement", "Lust, Caution", "Wonderful West and East" and other films, and his acting skills are all remarkable.

With handsome looks and no scandals in his life, Wang Leehom is considered by many people to be a creative talent and a high-quality idol with both strength and looks.

So much so that when he announced his relationship without warning, many people felt it was too sudden, and many even said they were not optimistic about this relationship.

From her marriage in November 2013 to the birth of her son in August 2018, Li Jinglei gave birth to three children, one boy and two girls.

The couple has been married for eight years. Not only did they not "not last long" as some people predicted, but they are extremely loving.

As the woman behind the idol, Li Jinglei said frankly that she knew that she had to pay more and sacrifice a lot in this relationship, but she had no regrets.

01

Wang Leehom was born in a scholarly family. Three generations of his ancestors are celebrities in the cultural world. His maternal great-grandfather Xu Fengzao is a rear admiral in the navy. His grandmother Xu Liufen graduated from Tsinghua University and wrote "Principles of Accounting" .

My uncle Xu Zhuoyun is a very well-known historian. His parents graduated from the Department of Medicine of National Taiwan University and are doctors.

Leehom Wang’s brother and sister-in-law have a PhD and a master’s degree from the University of Chicago respectively, and both work at Harvard Medical School.

My younger brother Wang Likai and his sister-in-law are both masters from MIT.

Born into such a prominent scholarly family, Wang Leehom is not far behind. He graduated from Berkeley University with a double-degree master's degree.

Wang Leehom, who was born in 1976, did not follow the academic path of his father's generation like his elder brother and younger brother, but chose to pursue art.

Influenced by his overseas life experience since childhood, Wang Leehom has been very interested in music.

Wang Leehom started learning violin at the age of 6. He practiced for more than 6 hours every day, and he did not feel tired at all. Because I like it, I never need parental supervision. Instead, I take the initiative to practice more.

At the age of 13, Leehom Wang began writing songs by himself.

After graduating from high school at the age of 18, Wang Leehom received a scholarship for outstanding students and was admitted to three prestigious schools: Yale University, Princeton University and Williams.

In 1995, Leehom Wang returned to Taiwan Province to visit relatives during the summer vacation. He was a student at a prestigious school and handsome. He was discovered by a talent scout, signed with a well-known Taiwanese record company, and released his first album "Love Rival Beethoven".

This year, Wang Leehom was 19 years old.

Later, Leehom Wang sang while going to school and released many albums. However, he is well-known to mainland audiences for his song "Descendants of the Dragon" released in 2000.

The song not only has Chinese style elements, but also incorporates the deep feelings of overseas Chinese as descendants of the dragon into it. Once released, the song became a hit on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Leehom Wang has gradually become a popular idol.

Subsequently, Leehom Wang created and released songs such as "The Sun and Moon in My Heart", "You Are a Song in My Heart", and "By the Plum Blossoms".

At the Bird's Nest concert, Leehom Wang also played "In That Faraway Place" on the erhu.

Wang Leehom, a versatile creative talent who can write and sing, is a low-key representative among celebrities. His private life is almost invisible and has never been known to outsiders.

Everyone can’t help but wonder, what kind of partner would catch the eye of such an outstanding person?

It was not until 2013, when Leehom Wang was 37 years old, that he announced on social platforms that he had found the person he wanted to spend his future with.

02

A few days before announcing his relationship, Leehom Wang made several preparations on the platform in consideration of fans' sentiments.

He first posted a photo of his parents in the Bird's Nest, "holding my son's hand and growing old together" to express his envy for such a happy life that will accompany him until old age.

Leehom Wang even directly stated that for many years his world has only been filled with music. He is very lonely, needs company, and longs for family life.

At this point, the preparations were almost complete, and Wang Leehom posted a photo with Li Jinglei.

He said that the girl he likes is 27 years old and an outsider. His parents like this girl very much and he hopes fans can like her too.

Regarding the announcement of their relationship, Wang Leehom and Li Jinglei admitted in an interview that they were extremely nervous at the time. After the text was written, no one dared to press the send button.

As a public figure, since his debut at the age of 19, Leehom Wang has become accustomed to putting himself in front of the public bit by bit, being watched and discussed, and even hated and abused by people who don't like him.

This is the price of being famous, and Leehom Wang has long adapted to this kind of life.

But Li Jinglei is different.

She is not a public figure or a person in the entertainment industry. Before that, she was just a student at Columbia University.

To the public and fans, she is just a passerby. Even on the Internet, no information can be found on the name Li Jinglei.

Wang Leehom said that once it is announced, Li Jinglei with the same name all over the world will be searched out, and her experiences from childhood to adulthood will be exposed to the public.

He was very worried. Once he clicked the send button, his wife Li Jinglei would transform from a passerby to a public figure.

When I wrote this paragraph, Li Jinglei was also beside Leehom Wang. The newlywed couple, you pushed me, I told you, but they didn’t dare to press the send button.

In the end, the two of them put their fingers on the send button and pressed it together to send the message.

The love affair was made public, and as expected, countless people watched and discussed it.

There was even some bad news about Li Jinglei on the Internet. Some people said that it was Li Jinglei’s classmates and friends who exposed her “dark history.” Wang Leehom immediately stood up to protect his wife.

He said that he could ignore the doubts about himself. After all, he would not take those rumors seriously and would not trust them. But his wife is different. Faced with false rumors, his wife's business is a family matter, and it is his duty to stand up and protect her.

However, more netizens are blessing the relationship.

What makes everyone even more curious is that as Wang Leehom is very popular among the public, who is this wife?

As Wang Leehom said, people quickly searched for the word Li Jinglei on the Internet.

Speaking of which, the two of them have a certain fate.

03

Li Jinglei is ten years younger than Wang Leehom. She was born in 1986 and is a veritable academic master. At that time, Wang Leehom was admitted to three universities at the same time, one of which was Princeton University.

And Li Jinglei graduated from this school.

After four years of undergraduate study at Princeton University, Li Jinglei became a graduate student at Columbia University. After graduation, she worked at JPMorgan Chase for four years.

In addition, Li Jinglei has also worked in operations management for luxury goods companies such as well-known brands such as Hermès and Estee Lauder.

Her relationship with Leehom Wang was not announced in a hurry.

As early as when Li Jinglei was 15 years old, the two met after being introduced by Wang Leehom’s father. The same overseas study experience makes the two of them speak the same language.

However, for this girl who was ten years younger than him, Wang Leehom always regarded her as his younger sister. It was not until Li Jinglei graduated from college that the two officially fell in love.

Some attentive netizens also discovered that when Leehom Wang participated in events in those two years, Li Jinglei was actually around him, but she was too low-key. Everyone thought she was a staff member around Leehom, but they did not expect that they had already In love.

After falling in love, registering for marriage is a matter of course.

Leehom Wang has always been very envious of the happy life of his parents who have held hands for decades and stayed together until old age. He specifically chose the date of his wedding registration to be the day of his parents' wedding anniversary.

On Thanksgiving Day, Leehom Wang specially posted a family photo, saying that he had not announced his relationship before, but had married Li Jinglei and she had become a member of the family.

In July of the next year after their marriage, Wang Leehom and Li Jinglei’s first child was born, a daughter.

Then in October 2016, the second daughter was born; in August 2018, the son was born.

After having three children in five years, Li Jinglei and Wang Leehom’s small family has grown from a family of two to a family of five.

In an interview with Lu Yu, Li Jinglei claimed that when her second daughter was born, she felt that her internal organs had been displaced.

Regarding his wife's efforts in giving birth, Wang Leehom said that his wife is very hard and not easy. As a man, he cannot empathize with her.

He feels very sorry for his wife. Maybe his wife cannot understand his pain from a man's perspective.

Despite this, both of them tried their best to understand and consider each other's feelings.

After marriage, Li Jinglei did not become a full-time mother. Instead, she used what she learned to serve as the producer of Wang Leehom's album.

In addition, she also shared the happy daily life of a small family.

There are photos of taking the three little ones out for an outing, and there are also photos of Li Jinglei doing yoga at home, with her daughter also participating.

As a family member of a great talent, everyone in the family is quite musical. Li Jinglei also posted a heartwarming picture of playing the violin with her daughter.

In addition to participating in the production of Wang Leehom's album at work, Li Jinglei focuses more on family life.

For Christmas, Li Jinglei decorated her home and cooked a lot of delicious food to entertain her friends.

Leehom Wang is also grateful for his wife’s contribution. He thanked his wife on social platforms for making their home warm and entertaining friends thoughtfully.

One is willing to give, and the other can see the other's contribution and is grateful. It must be said that this couple is a very harmonious couple.

Lu Yu told Leehom Wang during the interview that when she interviewed Li Jinglei, it was obvious that Li Jinglei loved Wang Leehom very much and admired him very much.

Li Jinglei said that she has no regrets about her choice.

As a graduate student from a prestigious university, if Li Jinglei had not returned to her family but had been working, I believe she would have become an outstanding strong woman in the workplace.

After getting married and becoming a mother of three children, the change in status made Li Jinglei's eyes softer. She said she had no regrets about this choice.

Li Jinglei has always known that Wang Leehom is a very talented person in music. She also knows that her husband Wang Leehom’s dream is not just to create music that everyone loves, he hopes to change the world through music.

In his many years of creation, Wang Leehom has always made music with such a sense of mission.

As a wife, Li Jinglei not only fully understands and supports Wang Leehom’s dream, she also assumes more family obligations, allowing Wang Leehom to devote himself wholeheartedly to his creation.

She said that she would stand beside Leehom Wang and accompany him to fulfill his dream.

In the past few years, Li Jinglei and Wang Leehom had a lot of interactions on social platforms, which were very simple daily family affairs.

These warm daily scenes do not make people feel that they are deliberately showing affection. On the contrary, everyone likes to watch them.

In the past two years, the couple's interactions have become less frequent, which has also caused many netizens to question whether their relationship has changed.

After all, in the flashy entertainment industry, fame and fortune, there are many temptations, and many couples who were once very loving in the eyes of the public did not interact with each other, and eventually they were exposed to have relationship problems.

A breakup is a breakup, a divorce is a divorce.

But the pair of Li Jinglei and Leehom Wang are different.

The lack of interaction does not mean any change in feelings. On the contrary, they have been married for many years and have already passed the seven-year itch. The couple has become a very tacit couple and does not need to interact through social platforms to prove the depth of their relationship.

As the male god in the hearts of countless people, seeing the happy life of Wang Leehom and his wife Li Jinglei, I can only wish them a long life.
