#SHOWBIZ: Former 5566 member Rio Peng and wife 'separated for some time'
TAIPEI: Rio Peng, a former member of Taiwanese pop group 5566, announced that he and his wife, Taiwan Glass heiress Tina Lin, have been "separated for some time", ending their 14-year marriage.
TAIPEI - Former 5566 member Rio Peng and his wife Tina Lin, Taiwan Glass heiress, have been separated for some time, marking the end of their 14-year marriage, according to an Instagram Story posted by Rio on August 7. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012 and have two children together, shared that they remain a loving family and will support each other and their children as they grow up. Rio, 48, revealed that they would not be providing further comment on the matter.
Sources close to Lin suggest that Rio's lack of significant achievements and initiative over the years may have contributed to the separation. The pair reportedly ended their marriage quietly, with news of their separation circulating among their social circles, though neither had officially confirmed it. Their children are primarily in Lin's custody, according to a Chinese news website.
Rio left the popular Taiwanese pop group 5566 in 2003 after suffering a severe back injury while filming a variety show. The group debuted in 2002, comprising Tony Sun, Zax Wang, Jason Hsu, and Sam Wang. In 2020, Rio was under scrutiny after being seen spending considerable time with a mystery woman, leading to rumors of infidelity.
