HONG KONG – Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu and her husband, Philip Lee, have taken their three young sons to a secluded destination in the Maldives, continuing a cherished family tradition that the couple calls their “ocean rendezvous.”
Wu, 44, shared a series of vacation photos on social media Tuesday, captioning them in English: “This year it’s a secret place!!” The images show the family of five enjoying a private resort, with the couple and their children dressed in coordinated summer outfits for the tropical getaway.
The family has long held a deep affection for the Maldives. Since their 2015 wedding, Wu and Lee have visited the Indian Ocean archipelago multiple times—often with their children in tow—making it an annual summer pilgrimage. This year’s trip marks another chapter in what the couple describes as a yearly family tradition.
In the photos, Lee and the couple’s three sons—Brendan, 7, Ryan, 5, and Liam, 3—wore matching blue floral Hawaiian shirts paired with white shorts. Wu opted for an elegant dark blue backless maxi dress. The entire family accessorized with sunglasses, exuding a relaxed resort-chic vibe.
The images capture the family in various idyllic settings: smiling by an infinity pool overlooking turquoise waters, raising their arms in joy against a backdrop of the open sea, and lounging together on a large swing sofa. Wu also posted solo portraits, including one where she stands with her back to the ocean, turning her head for a graceful profile shot. A romantic image shows Wu and Lee embracing and gazing at each other against a seamless horizon of sky and sea.
Wu and Lee, who married in a high-profile ceremony in December 2015, have built a reputation as one of Hong Kong entertainment’s most stable couples. Within four years of marriage, they welcomed three sons—a rapid succession that local media dubbed “four years, three babies.” Lee, a businessman, and Wu, a TVB award-winning actress known for dramas such as “Triumph in the Skies,” have frequently spoken about prioritizing family time despite their demanding careers.
The actress did not disclose the exact location of the resort, maintaining the “secret place” theme she hinted at in her post. Privacy is a growing concern for many celebrities traveling with children, and the Maldives—with its overwater villas and private-island resorts—has become a favored destination for high-profile families seeking seclusion.
The trip comes as Wu gradually returns to public life after a period focused on motherhood. She has indicated in recent interviews that she is open to new acting projects, though she remains committed to balancing work with her role as a mother of three.
For fans and followers, the vacation photos offer a glimpse into the family’s tightly knit dynamic. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the coordinated outfits and the couple’s evident affection after nearly nine years of marriage.
The Maldives vacation underscores a broader trend among Asian celebrities: the growing value placed on experiential family travel over material gifts. For Wu and Lee, the annual journey has become less a luxury and more a tradition—a ritual of togetherness against a backdrop of coral reefs and crystal-clear waters.
