Hong Kong star Elaine Ng and her daughter Etta Ng Chok Lam have had a tense relationship for many years. Since Etta moved to Canada with her foreign same-sex partner Andi, there has been little interaction between mother and daughter, with multiple rumors of estrangement. Recently, Elaine appeared on the online program 'Entertainment Mountain,' where she openly shared updates about her daughter and personally responded to rumors that Jackie Chan provides financial aid, revealing that her feelings have gradually softened over time.
Previously, there were widespread rumors that Jackie Chan, through intermediaries, had provided Etta with financial assistance multiple times last year, including paying her rent in Canada and supporting her in developing her design career; some even claimed that Jackie Chan had invited Etta to participate in the bidding to design the poster for his new film 'Homecoming.'
In response to these rumors, Elaine was calm during the interview. She responded humorously and directly denied them, saying: “I don't think that's the case.” She further described herself as an outsider in the matter: “I'm also an audience member, just 'eating peanuts' (watching the drama) on the side.” With this statement, she clearly clarified that, contrary to rumors, neither she nor her daughter had received financial support from Jackie Chan.
Looking back at the past few years, Etta once had fierce conflicts with her mother due to insisting on her relationship with Andi, even calling the police and accusing her mother of intimidation, and then moving to Canada. During this period, she was photographed lining up for free food locally, and her living conditions once appeared to be difficult.
As a single mother, Elaine admitted that it was indeed very difficult at first to accept her daughter's choices and same-sex marriage, but as time passed her mindset changed significantly; she sighed, “Time can change everything,” and said she has now learned to respect her daughter's decisions, agreeing that “love is blind.” Elaine revealed that her relationship with her daughter has improved significantly, and although she did not mention whether they have met in person, mother and daughter now exchange holiday greetings during Lunar New Year and Christmas.
