Gabriel Chiu Wiki — Parents, Ethnicity, Family

Speaking of ethnicity, Gabriel Chiu is the 24th generation direct descendant of the Chinese Song dynasty. And while Christine, who is originally from Taiwan, never spoke about why she was cut off from her affluent family, she has already revealed so much about her in-laws.

Gabriel was brought up in a conventional and conservative Chinese family by very strict parents who made sure everyone in the family attend Bel Air Presbyterian Church. Even Christine admitted to being in “the dog house” with Gabriel’s family. For eleven years, she was shunned because she could not conceive a male heir which of course changed after “Baby G”, her “miracle child” came along in 2018.

Height, Weight, Distinct Features

Just like his wife Gabriel appears nothing like his contemporaries he shared his age numbers with. Instead, he looks much younger. Christine must have rubbed in him, her love for fitness and a healthy lifestyle.

Gabriel Chiu stands to a height of 5′ 8″ and a lately reported weight of under 76 kg.

Social Media Reach: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter

Gabriel Chiu had 224k followers [until Jan 2021] on his Instagram which seemed more like a business account than a personal one. The number was surely anticipated to escalate post the Bling Empire fame.

Further, he had a collective 5k followers on Twitter and Facebook.

Gabriel & Christine Chiu: Son, Surrogacy, Fertility Issues

Between running a multi-billion dollar business and traveling the world, Gabriel and Christine also faced some real challenges even their whopping wealth could not solve.

The Asian-American pair opened up about their fertility issues, difficult pregnancy, and baby #2 plans.

Gabriel and his wife meet with their doctor to discuss having another baby when the doctor suggested their only healthy option would be having a baby via surrogacy. On June 29th, 2018, they had had their son Gabriel Christian Chiu III (named after Gabriel and his father, Gabriel Chiu I).

Both Gabriel and their doctor made it clear to Christine that her being pregnant again is not an option. But this still did not ease her thoughts on surrogacy. About it, she said,

“I honestly just never even considered surrogacy. I was always under the impression that surrogacy was something that Asians tend to look down on, or stay away from.”

Christine said she just did not want to do anything or make any decisions that would offend her husband’s parents and bring shame to the Chiu family. Also, she seemed quite sure the in-laws would not be on board with them having a surrogate baby. She actually spoke the “very traditional” family would “hate” the idea of it.

For now, their son “Baby G” is literally the apple of their eyes. For his first birthday, the couple donated one million dollars on behalf of their son to a cause providing free museum admission to children in underserved communities. And this was not an ordinary birthday bash, with a custom-built roller coaster, Ferris wheel, a wide array of Gucci gifts, entertainers, an arcade, live musical performances, a 10-course catering menu, and more.
