Following Jackie Chan’s headline-making admission that he did indeed have an affair with beauty queen-turned-actor Elaine Ng, the “Rush Hour” star remained in the news as Ng took a paternity test which proved that the baby she was carrying was inarguably Chan’s. In November 1999, he became a father for a second time when Ng gave birth to a daughter named Etta. However, he made it clear from the very start that he was only interested in the well-being of his wife and son. Speaking at a press conference months before Etta’s birth, he asked the media to leave Joan Lin and Jaycee Chan alone and professed his devotion to them. “I’ve let my family down, but I’m very lucky: My wife has forgiven me,” Chan said, adding, “My son understands.”

Meanwhile, he gave Etta no regard, and she remained with her mother in Hong Kong. There, she grew up not knowing Chan. She told Express in 2015, “He is not my dad — I have no feelings for him.” A 15-year-old Etta explained that she hadn’t forgiven him for abandoning her and said she had no wish to build a relationship with him. “He is my biological father, but he is not in my life,” she slammed. Etta added that she has seen some of his films and only ever thinks of him as an actor, never as a family member.
