Dad Crush Monday: Shaun Chen

By Samantha Jong
February 15, 2017

He’s a local actor who is a self-professed fighter who didn’t let life get him down despite the various setbacks that he faced. And he is now reaping the benefits of a great career that has seen him snag a couple of awards at the local Star Awards ceremony for his acting. All is great at home too, with his wife and a one-year-old baby girl Nellie. And he announced over Instagram on Valentine’s Day 2017 that he is expecting yet another little one.

Though his debut was quite a while ago, he looks fresher and better than before as evidenced by a recent photo taken while filming.

We still filming!! What are you guys going to do for weekend!!

In the last few years his career has really taken an upward turn. He won the Best Actor awards at the 2015 Star Awards and has been constantly popping up on our TV screens, headlining several local blockbuster drama serials and making the covers on the newsstands.

And they don’t just stop with him. His little girl, Nellie, has also been receiving the love from various brands such as CloverSoft, which sent over baby wipes.

Thank you #cloversoft make my baby comfortable everyday.

Though he was initially hesitant about revealing his family, the protective dad and husband finally showed the world what his wife and daughter looked like on his very first Father’s Day last year, with a sweet family photo where they were all wearing matching Adidas t-shirts.

Happy father's day! 父亲节快乐!

Since the big reveal, he has not shied away from showing off his lovely family, especially Nellie, who recently turned one and is becoming a regular fixture on his Instagram page.

今天是我的大美女一岁生日, 爸妈祝你生日快 乐,快高长大,健健康康,乖乖听话。永远爱你。

The actor is obviously a very doting dad, and has no qualms pushing Nellie around in her stroller or taking silly photos with her.

想念跟她们shopping!@cybex_global @tods

Of course to be a dad crush, you must look good and Shaun makes it a point to work out. He’s regularly seen in the gym and on the badminton court.

Just finish work out!have you?#thecelebrityagency#celebrityfitness

We can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store for the talented actor. With such a lovely wife and adorable little girl supporting him all the way, we’re sure he’s going to achieve great things in the year ahead.

我們祝大家新年快乐,心想事成,身体健康。2017 happy new year!!
