Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛) and Chinese restaurateur Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲) officially announced their divorce Monday, according to a report by CNA.
The parents said that the decision was cordial and that they would be raising their two children together.
The announcement was issued by proxy through the former couple's legal counsel, filed by both Wang and Hsu, with the latter using her legal name, Hsu Shi-yuan.
CNA said that in the couple's declaration, Hsu and Wang thanked fans for their support and love, with the former couple acknowledging that fate had blessed them with a time of happiness, and that they were both grateful for each other even after deciding to part ways.
While they walked hand-in-hand as husband and wife in the past, they would continue to enjoy a cordial relationship as friends as well as parents to their son and daughter in the future, CNA added.
Both Hsu and Wang asked the media and their fans to respect their decision, and to give them space so as to prevent unnecessary attacks being directed at their families.
Hsu is best known to Filipino fans for her breakout role as Shan Cai in the 2001 Taiwanese romance TV series "Meteor Garden" (流星花園).
