Actress and model Jennifer Tse, 43, recently returned to Hong Kong with her partner, Mathew, and their two children—daughter Sara, born in 2019, and son Brooklyn Milne, born six months ago—for what appears to be a family visit. Tse, the younger sister of actor Nicholas Tse, has predominantly resided in Vancouver, Canada, since the birth of her daughter, dedicating herself to motherhood and pursuing interests in the tennis community. Their high-profile, yet briefly documented, arrival has drawn attention not only to her new family dynamics but also to her substantial Hong Kong property portfolio, despite opting for a luxury hotel stay.
Reports indicate that the family of four checked into a premium suite at a five-star hotel on Hong Kong Island. Online footage shared by Tse showcased the opulent accommodation, boasting panoramic 270-degree views of Victoria Harbour from a spacious suite estimated to be around 1,000 square feet, with room rates reportedly ranging between HKD 9,000 and HKD 12,000 per night. A video clip captured Mathew holding their infant son while looking out at the city skyline, with Sara seated quietly nearby, underscoring the family’s serene interlude in the bustling city.
A Glimpse into Private Life
Tse has maintained a relatively private life since relocating to Canada, occasionally sharing glimpses of her personal life. Last year, she made her new relationship public shortly before the birth of Brooklyn Milne, and frequently posts happy, albeit carefully curated, images of the family online. Their brief time in Hong Kong included meeting close friends. Social media stories showed the young family introducing baby Brooklyn to Tse’s circle, with friends enthusiastically taking turns to hold the infant. Another photo displayed Tse cradling her son amidst a pile of popular Labubu collectible figures, likely gifts for the children. The couple’s easy, low-key interactions with friends suggest a comfortable transition back into her Hong Kong social scene.
The choice of a lavish hotel accommodation for a short stay, however, has inadvertently highlighted Tse’s existing ties to Hong Kong’s elite property market. Despite her extended residency in Vancouver, Tse reportedly owns at least two substantial residential properties in the city.
Luxury Suites Over Family Estates
Sources familiar with the Tse family’s investments note that Nicholas Tse purchased a luxurious, 1,000-square-foot apartment in the well-regarded University Heights development, known as “The Westminster Terrace” in Sai Wan, valued at over HKD 30 million in 2017. This property was reportedly gifted to Jennifer as both a birthday present and a dowry. Furthermore, Jennifer Tse herself reportedly utilized first-time homebuyer status to acquire a lower-floor unit with a unique terrace feature in the Happy Valley district development, “THE ASTER,” purchasing it for HKD 17.106 million.
Given these significant property holdings, industry observers speculate that the decision to stay in a high-end hotel was likely motivated by the convenience of luxury serviced living for a short-term family trip, avoiding the logistical effort of preparing and staffing her vacant residences. Her brief return, centered around family and friends, points to enduring connections with her birthplace despite a flourishing life abroad. The family’s visit underscores the fluidity of global celebrity life, where multi-million-dollar property ownership coexists with the pragmatic choice of five-star transient accommodation.
