Ke Huy Quan and Echo Quan's Relationship Timeline

Keeping their love to themselves. Ke Huy Quan and wife Echo Quan have preferred to stay tight-lipped about the secret to their decades-long relationship.

The couple met in Hong Kong while working on the 2004 film 2046. After they started dating, Ke Huy and Echo moved to the U.S. and continued to collaborate on several projects together.

Over the years, Ke Huy has offered rare glimpses at his marriage to Echo. After rising to stardom as a child star in roles such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies, the actor eventually shifted his focus to work behind the camera.

Following his critically-acclaimed involvement in Everything Everywhere All At Once, Ke Huy praised his wife for supporting his return to acting. The Academy Award-nominated film’s director duo, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinhert, also gushed about Echo’s contribution to the project.

“Echo Quan (On Set Translator) was the secret soul of our film set. So many people have told us how much it meant to them to hear the family speaking in multiple languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, Chinglish, and English), and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her,” they tweeted in May 2020.

Meanwhile, Ke Huy has often discussed the surprise he felt over his career’s trajectory taken since his return on screen.

“I’m overwhelmed with emotions as EEAAO opens this weekend. I was incredibly nervous not knowing how audiences will react to my return. It has been more than 20 years since the last time I was up on the big screen. I’m still processing how this moment came to be,” he captioned a March 2022 Instagram post. “I have lots of questions with very few answers. Reading and hearing all the positive comments from you has brought tears to my eyes again and again and again.”

The former stunt coordinator continued: “There are no words to describe how I am feeling now. I will spare you all the cringe and just say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your love and warm embrace. And lastly, THANK YOU Daniels for gifting me this special moment. You took what was once merely a distant dream and turned it into a reality. I am forever grateful.”

Ke Huy has scored awards including a SAG award, a Golden Globe trophy, a Critics’ Choice ​Movie award and many more for his portrayal of Waymond in the comedy-drama film. Echo has been by her husband’s side amid the professional milestones.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Academy Award nominee recalled how his preparation for Everything Everywhere All at Once left Echo less than thrilled. "I practiced [the fanny pack fight scene] for a long time," he recalled. "The fanny pack is six or seven feet long, and I was constantly throwing this around, wrapping it around my neck and stuff. I ended up breaking a lot of things in the house, and my wife wasn't too happy about that. Can you imagine? It was just me swinging this fanny pack wherever I go, to the living room, or the bedroom, or the kitchen. I was doing it for months." Todd Williamson/Shutterstock

Ke Huy praised Echo for encouraging him to return to acting. “I was going to be 50 years old,” he told Vanity Fair. “I didn’t know what it would be like to go and audition and get rejected again and again. I didn’t know whether Hollywood wanted me again.” Jordan Strauss/AP/Shutterstock

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
