Chae Rim speaks out on remarriage after divorce from Gao Ziqi
Actress Chae Rim opened up about remarriage in a recent Weibo video, sparking buzz over her take on second chances in love.
Chae Rim married Chinese actor Gao Ziqi in 2014 after co-starring in the C-Drama The Li Family. They had a son in 2017 but divorced in 2020. This was her second failed marriage following a brief union with singer Lee Seung Hwan in 2003.
When asked if she’d marry again, Chae Rim replied,
“With someone other than the father of my child?”
She admits she hasn’t considered it much but might in the future once her son grows up.
“I’ve never thought about it. But if a couple doesn’t get along or isn’t headed in the same direction, it gets tough. So, maybe when my child grows up…I might consider it.”

Chae Rim also showed an unexpectedly chill attitude toward Gao Ziqi remarrying.
“I honestly don’t care at all.”
She’s already talked with her son about relationships,
“As long as it doesn’t affect our child, I’m totally fine with it. In fact, I wouldn’t even mind if he brings his girlfriend when he comes to visit our son.”
“I’ve told my son that Dad might have a girlfriend someday, and Mom might have a boyfriend too. That’s completely normal.”

Her past marriage to Lee Seung Hwan never legally registered, so no official divorce occurred before her move to China and marriage to Gao.
Fans are watching how Chae Rim navigates her personal life post-divorce with honesty and maturity.
