Christy Chung just dropped a batch of birthday pics on Instagram for her daughter Jaden — and netizens can’t stop talking about how stunning the 17-year-old looks, August 6.
The Canadian-born actress, 55, penned a heartfelt birthday wish for Jaden in her latest post, featuring some wholesome family moments with Jaden and her youngest daughter Cayla, 15.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful Jaden,” she wrote. “Always remember that on your journey ahead, I will always be here for you! Have a blast.”
But it wasn’t just the mother-daughter bond that got fans clicking 'like'. Social media’s been buzzing over how much Jaden — and her little sister Cayla — take after their mum in the looks department.

“Jaden Zhang is really beautiful,” one commenter gushed. Another added, “Gorgeous like their mama!”
Both Jaden and Cayla are Christy’s daughters from her previous marriage to Taiwanese musician Jon Yen. Their original surname was Yen, but according to Yahoo! Style Singapore, Christy later changed their surnames to Zhang, matching her current husband Shawn Zhang, after noticing how close the girls had grown to him.
It’s not just about a name on paper — the family bond looks tight, and fans can’t get enough of the love and positive vibes they radiate online.

For those who’ve followed Christy’s career since the '90s, it’s hard to believe she’s now a mum of teens. Born in Canada to a Chinese-Vietnamese dad and a Vietnamese mum, Christy shot to fame back in 1993 after bagging the Miss Chinese International title — despite not knowing Chinese at the time.
That same year, she made her film debut in The Bride with White Hair 2 and quickly became a familiar face in Chinese cinema, starring alongside legends like Jet Li and Stephen Chow.
Christy’s current hubby, actor Shawn Zhang (43), met her on a Chinese dating show and the two tied the knot in 2016. It’s her third marriage, following earlier relationships with a Belgian national in 1998 and Jon Yen in 2003.
Now in her 50s, Christy Chung seems to be thriving both as a mum and in her career, often sharing peeks into her family life with fans — and judging by the response to Jaden’s birthday post, the next generation of beauties might just be ready to take the spotlight.
