Jenny Tseng Breaks Down in Tears Upon Hearing Ex-Husband Patrick Tse’s Passing, Reminisces: “He Treated Me So Well”

Patrick Tse (Fourth Brother) passed away from pneumonia on the 16th. His son Nicholas Tse only issued an obituary after completing the funeral arrangements. Patrick’s first wife, Jenny Tseng, learned of the tragic news on the 20th at Hong Kong airport while picking up her nephew flying in from the US. Unable to hold back her tears, her voice became low and hoarse from crying. The couple ended their three-year marriage due to misunderstandings, but reunited in 2019 for a touching joint appearance; he had especially flown from Hong Kong to Taiwan to support her. Shocked and devastated by the news of his death, Jenny said with emotion, “That’s how life is—separation by life and death.” Recalling their time together, she sadly said, “He treated me so well, cared so much for me, and was my first love. He will always have a special place in my heart for life.” She wished him a peaceful journey.

After their divorce, Jenny Tseng and Patrick Tse lost contact due to both remarrying. Years later, after both became single again, Jenny held a Classic Retrospective for her 55 years in film in 2019, where he attended to show support, thus rekindling their connection. Regarding their last meeting, Jenny said it was likely in 2021, never expecting it to be their final farewell. She explained they didn’t meet again because his health declined in his later years—he was in a wheelchair and sometimes struggled to remember things.

Patrick Tse was always the epitome of charm and sweetness; during their reunion in 2019, he even confessed, “I still love you, I’m still waiting for you to come back,” making her shyly cover her face—an iconic moment. The two were each other’s lifelong soulmates, with Jenny admitting she regretted the divorce. She was deeply moved when speaking of his goodness, praising him as “a man of his word, always meaning what he says.” On his passing, Jenny was filled with reluctance but found comfort in the thought that he had lived a wonderful, complete life, leaving behind no regrets.

Looking back, their wedding was very romantic. While filming “Where the Seagull Flies” on location in Singapore, Jenny happened to have a rare day off and flew back to Hong Kong. After six years of passionate romance, they married impulsively without telling her mother, who was also her manager. The couple sneaked in through the back to avoid causing a scene, but since the process required announcing the names of the newlyweds, the media soon found out.

At the time, they were the golden couple—both hugely popular—and they registered their marriage without even having time to buy rings. Because Jenny spent so many years filming up to five movies at once in Taiwan, they never held a wedding ceremony. Both were too young and too busy at the time; work kept them apart, and misunderstandings led to an emotional split. It was only in later years they realized they were each other’s true love—a love missed for too long.
