Just stumbled upon some interesting background on Jet Li's family situation, and it's quite the story. The legendary action star is now 62, and his life off-screen has been pretty eventful.



So here's the thing - he's been married twice, and from both marriages, he's got four daughters. His first marriage was to Huang Qiuyan, whom he met while filming 'Shaolin Kid' back in the day. They had two daughters together before calling it quits due to compatibility issues. His eldest, Li Si, is 37 now and holds American citizenship. She went to a solid university in the States and tried her hand at entertainment - even auditioned for SNH48 and appeared on some dating shows, but nothing really took off for her. Still unmarried.

Then there's his second daughter from that first marriage. Taimi Li, who's 36, is also an American citizen. From what I've read, Taimi Li didn't quite have the same academic drive as her older sister - more introverted personality too. But she's been seen at red carpet events with her father over the years.

Fast forward to his current marriage with Li Zhi, which he started while working on a film project. They tied the knot in the United States and have two more daughters. The third daughter, Jane Li, is 25 and apparently a Harvard standout. She's got her mother's features - big expressive eyes - and she's really into dance. Jet Li has been grooming her for the high-society circuit since she was young, bringing her to various dance events. She's currently dating an American guy.

The youngest is Jada, 22, also at Harvard. She's tall with a striking figure, very similar to Jane actually. Both younger daughters take after their mother.

What's kind of striking when you see recent photos is how much Jet Li has aged. At 62, he looks considerably older than peers like Andy Lau - almost like different generations. He's been dealing with health issues in recent years, which probably explains the visible toll. Pretty different from the action star image everyone remembers.
