LayarHijau – Following William Chan and He Sui’s official announcement of their son’s birth on October 18, 2025, public attention once again turned to the private life of the supermodel. Known for her graceful image on the Victoria’s Secret stage, He Sui’s love life has been anything but smooth — from a whirlwind marriage to a man once dubbed a “fake rich guy,” to rumored rivalry with fellow top model Liu Wen.
He Sui was born on September 23, 1989, in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China. She is a model and actress best known as the first Asian woman to open a Ralph Lauren fashion show and the second Chinese model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Before entering the fashion industry, He Sui trained as a competitive swimmer for seven years. At 17, she won a national modeling contest, marking the start of her rise. Standing at 177 cm with the refined charm of East Asian beauty, she went on to represent major brands such as Shiseido and Dior.

In 2015, He Sui shocked the public by posting a photo of a marriage certificate on social media. The groom’s identity was blurred, but netizens soon discovered he was allegedly Ji Huanbo, a businessman rumored to be a “low-profile rich man.” However, just months later, He Sui announced she was single again. The quietly begun marriage ended even faster than most celebrity relationships in China — reportedly lasting only seven months, as revealed by the date on their certificate.
Rumor had it that Ji Huanbo was introduced to He Sui by fellow Victoria’s Secret model Xi Mengyao. What began as a romantic connection turned bitter when He Sui allegedly discovered that her husband’s lifestyle was not as luxurious as she believed. Gossip sites reported that she filed for divorce soon after learning the truth — “quick to marry, quicker to part,” one tabloid wrote.
After that brief marriage, He Sui was linked to South Korean actor and idol Choi Siwon. The two first met during an international fashion event and reportedly kept in touch afterward. Although their relationship was never confirmed, speculation grew as they appeared at the same functions and interacted online. Interestingly, just as the rumors faded, Choi Siwon appeared in a variety show alongside Liu Wen — sparking talk that He Sui felt overshadowed. Before long, gossip about a “complicated triangle” among Siwon, Liu Wen, and He Sui began to circulate across the internet. While no solid proof ever emerged, fans still remember it as one of the most enigmatic chapters in the Asian entertainment scene.
Following that period, He Sui became more cautious about sharing her private life. She was later linked to Hong Kong actor-singer William Chan, with the media describing them as “close friends with strong chemistry.” Yet now, with the birth of their child, it’s clear their connection ran far deeper — and lasted far longer — than many expected.
He Sui’s past is also colored by the rivalries of China’s modeling elite. Early in her career, she was frequently compared to Liu Wen, Qin Shupei, and Xi Mengyao — fellow Chinese supermodels who had broken into the international scene. The competition for shows, campaigns, and recognition was fierce, often causing tension. Some outlets even reported that He Sui and Qin Shupei once “teamed up” to challenge Liu Wen’s dominance as China’s national supermodel, though none of the parties ever addressed the rumors publicly.
He Sui’s career soared after signing with Victoria’s Secret and walking major global runways. Her delicate East Asian features and elegant poise made her one of China’s most recognizable fashion faces. Yet behind her success, she has long been described as someone “cool on the outside, resilient on the inside” — a persona reflected in many interviews and TV appearances she’s done over the years.

As she once said in an old interview:
“Life doesn’t always have to follow the runway. Sometimes, the most beautiful moment is when you finally stop running.”
