In a talk show aired on YouTube on 4/3, Elaine Ng Yi-lei spoke about Etta Ng Chok-lam, her daughter with Jackie Chan, a rare occurrence. The former Miss Asia said her daughter currently lives in Canada and sends messages to congratulate her mother on holidays. "Our relationship has improved significantly. Our spirits are both young, around 26-27 years old, so we treat each other comfortably and gently," Elaine Ng Yi-lei said.

The former beauty queen learned to respect her daughter's decisions, no longer opposing the same-sex relationship between Chok-lam and her partner, Andi Autumn. When Chok-lam registered her marriage with Andi in 2019, Yi-lei fiercely opposed it, leading to a strained mother-daughter relationship. For a long time afterward, they did not communicate or meet.

Elaine Ng Yi-lei lives alone. The former Miss Asia said that at age 54, she understands that everything happens by fate. She has no high standards when looking for a partner, only hoping to meet someone who understands her to be a companion and live a peaceful life amidst a chaotic and volatile world.

The private lives of Elaine Ng Yi-lei and her daughter have attracted significant attention. In 1999, the former Miss Asia's affair with actor Jackie Chan was revealed, and Etta Ng Chok-lam was born the same year. In many interviews, Chok-lam stated she had never met her father.

On Appledaily in 2019, Etta Ng Chok-lam said she was full of doubts and questions, not understanding why so many things had happened to her. If she met Jackie Chan, she would want to ask him what exactly happened when she was young. "I want to ask my mother what she did back then? Did the two of them have any private discussions? I need an answer," Chok-lam said.

She stated she does not care about Jackie Chan's assets and would not be hurt if he did not leave her any inheritance in his will. Chok-lam "just wants to find her father to ask him for an explanation". From a young age, Chok-lam endured immense pressure as the illegitimate daughter of the action superstar. Before meeting her same-sex partner, her life had no joy. Chok-lam recounted that her most painful period was when she lived with her grandmother and mother in Shanghai, China. At that time, she was bullied and mocked by friends. Chok-lam was often kicked by friends while she was sleeping.

Jackie Chan and actress Joan Lin Feng-jiao registered their marriage in the US in 1982, and their son Jaycee Chan Jo-ming was born the same year. According to Ifeng, the actor focused on acting, while his wife managed the family's companies, including JC Group, the film production company Jackie Chan founded. Jaycee Chan Jo-ming once said: "My mother's life is almost entirely numbers. All of my father's contracts passed through my mother's hands, so she was very hardworking and busy". Joan Lin Feng-jiao lives a private life; for the past 15 years, she has rarely appeared in public.
