Tang Wei has been married to Kim Tae-yong for 11 years, and the couple share a 10-year-old daughter. The actress primarily resides in Beijing with her parents and family, while visiting her in-laws during school holidays. The choice of location was made to ensure proximity to her aging parents.
“I am deeply grateful to my husband for taking care of our family and child so that I could focus on my career,” Tang Wei said. She added that without Kim Tae-yong, who shoulders most of the heavy workload, she could not have achieved such career milestones.
Tang Wei likened her husband to a “mountain,” calling him a strong and steady presence in her life. He is supportive of her career endeavors and frequently engages in professional, creative discussions with her.
With a career spanning nearly three decades, Tang Wei is critically acclaimed for her outstanding performances in films such as “Lust, Caution,” “Late Autumn,” “Dragon (Wu Xia),” “Monster Hunt,” and “Decision to Leave.” She currently represents several prominent fashion and beauty brands.
