6 Things To Know About Wang Leehom’s Estranged Wife Lee Jinglei

Lee Jinglei, who also goes by Michiko Nishimura, has taken to Instagram to defend her name against her husbands claims.

January 3, 2022

She is neither a singer nor an actress, but Lee Jinglei has attracted media attention ever since she married singer Wang Leehom back in 2013. She was 27 and a doctoral student at Columbia University in New York City when she tied the knot with Wang, who is 10 years her senior.

The recent media frenzy around Lee and Wang’s impending divorce has put the spotlight on her once more. Interest in her surged over the weekend after her explosive social media posts last Friday, to accuse Wang of failings including infidelities.

Here are six things to know about the previously low-profile mother of three.

Lee’s mother, Lee Yiu-man, acted as the second female lead in Hong Kong action movie Return To Action (1990). She acted alongside Hong Kong film stars Alex Man and Rosamund Kwan. Lee fell off the entertainment industry’s radar afterwards.

While it is unclear what passport she holds presently, Lee grew up in Taiwan and has a Japanese father. Lee used to go by the Japanese name Michiko Nishimura.

Netizens have speculated that Lee might have adopted a Chinese name at Wang’s request. In 2015, this issue made the news in China when Lee’s name appeared to be registered as Wang Jinglei when she passed through airport customs.

As of Monday evening, Lee had some 807,000 followers on Instagram, with her follower count still increasing steadily.

Lee’s followers have increased by more than 250,000 since her first post on the divorce. Her rebuttal of Wang’s denial of her accusations on Monday morning has garnered over 281,000 likes.

Many netizens have also expressed their sympathy for Lee in the comments sections of her posts. Her post last Friday has attracted over 50,000 comments .

Previously, Lee was seldom active on her Instagram account. Her last post before the saga was on Oct 12, more than four months after an earlier post in June.

Wang called her his "Forever Love"

Wang and Lee got hitched in 2013. Back then, the singer introduced his bride in a Weibo post, describing her as his “Forever Love” and appealing to his fans to look upon her favourably. He highlighted that his parents had expressed their approval of Lee and the upcoming marriage.

He also stated then that he had known Lee for 12 years through their parents, who have been friends for many years.
