Hong Kong actress and former beauty queen Elaine Ng (吴绮莉) says her relationship with daughter Etta Ng (吴卓林) has begun to thaw after several difficult years apart. In a recent interview, the 1990 Miss Asia winner confirmed that the pair have resumed occasional contact, signalling a quiet shift in a long-strained mother-daughter dynamic.
Speaking on the Mount Buzz YouTube channel earlier this week, Elaine Ng discussed her career, health and personal life, but it was her comments about Etta Ng that quickly drew attention online. The actress revealed that although they still live separate lives, the two have exchanged greetings during recent holidays — a small but notable step after years of distance.
For followers of Hong Kong entertainment, the relationship between Elaine Ng and Etta Ng has long been a complicated one. Etta Ng, born in 1999, is the daughter of Ng and international film star Jackie Chan (成龍). Chan has never played an active role in her upbringing, leaving Ng to raise her daughter on her own.
Mother and daughter were reportedly close during Etta’s childhood, but their relationship deteriorated several years ago.
Much of the tension surfaced publicly around the time Etta entered a relationship with Canadian influencer Andi Autumn, whom she later married before the couple moved to Canada. Around that period, Etta also spoke openly about difficulties in her upbringing, which further strained the relationship.
Recent reports in Hong Kong media have suggested that Etta Ng may have returned to the city after spending several years overseas.
Elaine Ng did not directly confirm those claims during the interview. However, her acknowledgement that communication has resumed suggests the two are at least reconnecting slowly.

The actress also addressed circulating rumours involving Jackie Chan. Some reports claimed the action star had quietly provided financial help to Etta Ng through an intermediary, including covering rent in Canada and even supporting her design career.
One rumour suggested Etta had been invited to take part in a design bid for promotional artwork linked to Chan’s upcoming film projects.
Elaine Ng brushed off those claims with humour. “I don’t think so,” she said during the interview, adding that she has no direct knowledge of such arrangements. She described herself as more of an observer in the situation, joking that she was “just a spectator, peeling peanuts on the sidelines.”
Her relaxed tone suggested that she prefers to stay out of speculation surrounding Jackie Chan and his reported involvement. Instead, Elaine Ng kept the focus on her own relationship with her daughter and the slow progress they have made in reconnecting.
While it remains unclear how often Elaine Ng and Etta Ng currently communicate, the actress’ comments hint at a gradual easing of tensions. After years of public distance and separate lives abroad, even small exchanges during holidays appear to signal a shift in the right direction.
Online reactions to the interview have been mixed. Some fans welcomed the update, saying they hope the mother and daughter can rebuild their relationship fully in the future. Others expressed sympathy for both sides, noting how complicated family dynamics can become when personal matters unfold in the public eye.
There were also netizens who questioned the rumours involving Jackie Chan, with many saying the claims about financial support remain unconfirmed. Others pointed out that regardless of the speculation, the most important development is that Elaine Ng and Etta Ng are at least speaking again.
