Ke Huy Quan and his wife have been together for several years, making many curious about their relationship timeline. He is an Academy Award-winning actor, widely known for his roles in Everything Everywhere All at Once and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While his acting career has garnered significant attention since winning the Oscar, many people are also interested in his life partner, who has been his biggest supporter.
Here are details of their relationship.
Who is Ke Huy Quan’s wife?
Quan is married to Echo Quan.
The couple first met in 2004 on the set of 2046, a sequel to In the Mood for Love, directed by Wong Kar-wai. At the time, Echo was working with Wong Kar-wai, while Quan was serving as an assistant director. They were introduced by the filmmaker and quickly connected. Since then, their relationship flourished, eventually leading to marriage. While the exact year of their wedding remains undisclosed, their bond has remained strong, with both being each other’s unwavering support system.
Quan also expressed his deep gratitude to his wife during his acceptance speech at the Oscars after winning Best Supporting Actor for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
“I want to thank the most important person in my life. The one person who never stopped believing in me—my wife, Echo. I love you with all my heart.”
Appreciating her faith in him, he continued:
“I owe everything to the love of my life, my wife, Echo, who month after month, year after year, for 20 years told me that one day my time would come” (via PEOPLE).
What does Echo Quan do for a living?
Echo worked as an on-set translator for the multilingual film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Before moving to Los Angeles, she worked in Hong Kong for renowned filmmaker Wong Kar-wai, known for his distinct cinematography, moody music, and nonlinear storytelling. However, after relocating, she struggled to find work in the industry for several years.
Eventually, Everything Everywhere All at Once, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, provided her with an opportunity. The directors, known as “The Daniels,” praised her as “the secret soul of our film set” in a now-deleted post on X.
