Recently-wed actress Jesseca Liu talks romance, good fortune, and the possibility of babies with The Weekly
Fresh from her honeymoon to Europe, where she and fellow actor husband Jeremy Chan traversed Italy, Spain and Portugal, Jesseca Liu wistfully recalls how she misses the beauty and architecture of the Mediterranean.
“Europe is so romantic,” she muses during our cover shoot at Mita Kelder Photography’s sprawling home studio, in between sips of bird’s nest soup from her flask. “I loved Florence best; just walking through the cobbled streets is so enjoyable and relaxing.”
It was also in Florence that a bird unexpectedly pooped on Jeremy’s head, just as they were contemplating whether to enter a restaurant.
“It was so funny because a huge flock of birds flew by suddenly, and before we knew it, there were bird droppings on Jeremy’s head,” Jesseca recalls with a chuckle. “Of course I had to laugh before helping him clean up!”
It’s clear that Jesseca is deeply in love: She married Jeremy in her hometown of Langkawi last July after a three-year courtship, and the couple has a rock-solid bond, though she jibes that Jeremy was “actually more romantic before we got married”.
“Last Valentine’s Day, he took me on a romantic date where we had a wonderful meal at a rooftop restaurant in Thailand, and he left me a flower and gift in my room. He also proposed to me at a beautiful restaurant in Japan, and presented me with a cake with a ring on top. Nowadays, I don’t get that kind of treatment,” she jokes.
