EXO-L received some shocking but happy news on January 13, 2020 when EXO’s Chen announced he and his non-celebrity girlfriend will be getting married soon. This news was layered with news that he will soon be a father!
“It is true that Chen’s bride-to-be is pregnant,” an SM source stated.
SM Entertainment also confirmed the marriage news in their own statement.
Hello. This is SM Entertainment.
Chen has met someone precious to him and will be getting married. The bride is a non-celebrity, and the wedding will be held privately with only their families in attendance.
To respect their families’ opinions, the wedding and everything related to it will be held privately, so we ask fans and reporters for their kind understanding.
Chen will continue to work hard as an artist.
We ask you to send Chen lots of blessings and messages of celebration.
Thank you.
Chen shared the news in a handwritten message.
Hello, this is Chen.
I am writing this because I have something to tell our fans. I don’t know how to start this, and I’m very nervous. Although these words are not enough, I’m writing this letter because I want to honestly tell our fans, who gave us so much love, first.
I have a girlfriend I want to spend the rest of my life with. I was worried and concerned about the situations that would arise as a result of this decision, but I had been discussing with the agency and our members because I wanted to announce the news at least a little bit earlier so I wouldn’t surprise you with the sudden news.
Then, a blessing came my way. I am also taken aback, as I cannot do what I had planned with the agency and members, but this blessing has given me more strength.
I couldn’t lose any more time thinking about when or how I should announce this, so I mustered up my courage.
I’m really thankful to my members for genuinely congratulating me after hearing this news, and I deeply thank our fans for sending me so much undeserving love.
I will never forget this feeling of gratitude, do my best in my place without changing, and return the love you have given me.
Thank you always.
While rumors circulated online, SM Entertainment denied that Chen already married his bride-to-be and that his fiancée is seven-months pregnant. Chen nor the company revealed the pregnancy stage.
We extend congratulations to Chen and his soon-to-be bride!
