Joe Chaw, the teenage son of Malaysian singer Gary Chaw, just confirmed his relationship to the public by sharing couple photos online. Gary Chaw, known in the Chinese-speaking world for hit songs like Superwoman, appeared on the popular Chinese reality show Where Are We Going, Dad? Season 2 in 2014 alongside his son Joe and daughter Grace. The show helped Gary earn a reputation as a devoted father, while young Joe charmed viewers with his sweet demeanor. Now, nearly 17 years old, Joe Chaw has stirred public attention once again—this time not as a cute child star, but as a teenager in love.
A Mistaken Identity Leads to a Dating Announcement
Joe Chaw first shared a photo with his younger sister Grace and another girl, which led some netizens to speculate whether the girl on the right was his girlfriend. Joe liked a comment suggesting this, which fueled the rumors. However, he later clarified the misunderstanding, explaining in English: “She’s not my gf, she’s my cousin’s (girlfriend).” He added that, being Malaysian and not fluent in Chinese, he liked the comment just to acknowledge he had seen it—not as confirmation.
The next day, Joe posted affectionate photos with his actual girlfriend—she was sitting on his lap and he was puckering up for a kiss. When fans asked if this was indeed his girlfriend, Joe responded clearly: “Yes,” though her identity remains private. Many netizens couldn’t believe how time flew that Joe—the adorable boy from Where Are We Going, Dad? is already dating.
