The Sweet, Slightly Awkward Beginning: Jeremy Chan & Jesseca Liu's Unlikely Romance

You know, some love stories just have that extra sprinkle of destiny, don't they? Take Jeremy Chan and Jesseca Liu, for instance. Their initial encounter? Well, it wasn't exactly sparks and fireworks, at least not for one half of this now-beloved couple. In truth, it began with a touch of nerves, a hint of awe, and a very memorable photoshoot.

Jeremy, bless his heart, found himself a tad overwhelmed. Jesseca Liu, already a household name, a true luminary in the entertainment scene—she must've seemed like a figure almost out of reach. He remembers it vividly, that very first meeting for a Toggle (now meWATCH, of course) photoshoot, where, honestly, he could barely string a sentence together. He was, to put it mildly, intimidated. And who could blame him, really? She’s Jesseca Liu!

He recounts feeling utterly out of his depth, practically mute beside her. It was a fleeting interaction, one he probably thought wouldn’t lead anywhere beyond that day’s professional obligation. But life, as it often does, has a funny way of bringing people back together, doesn't it? Their paths crossed again, later, at the Star Awards. And this time, a tiny seed of connection began to sprout.

She remembered him, which, for Jeremy, must have been quite something. He seized the moment, you see, took a leap of faith, and invited her to a concert. A free concert, he'd later joke, wondering if he was perhaps a 'scammer' for such a casual invitation. But she went. She actually went—a small act, perhaps, but one that spoke volumes.

From there, a real connection blossomed. He got to know the woman behind the formidable star image—the 'Jesseca' who was, in his words, incredibly easygoing, utterly down-to-earth, and far from the intimidating figure he'd first imagined. The initial nervousness, slowly but surely, melted away, replaced by genuine affection and understanding. It’s funny how a simple conversation, a shared laugh, can completely transform a perception, isn't it?

And before they knew it, a love story, once born out of a nervous photoshoot and a brave concert invitation, culminated in marriage in 2017. They’ve even met each other’s parents, cementing their bond. It just goes to show, sometimes the most profound connections start in the quietest, most unexpected of ways. A truly lovely unfolding, wouldn't you say?
