KUALA LUMPUR: Popular model and actress Amber Chia has found her Mr Right, and he is a 36-year-old businessman from Kuala Lumpur who shares her love of fashion and films.

The Ipoh-born Chia married Melbourne University business graduate Adrian Wong in Bali, Indonesia last week.

The couple will soon be spending a month-long honeymoon in Australia.

Speaking at The Yogi Tree Restaurant in The Gardens, Mid Valley City here yesterday, Chia, 28, said their marriage coincided with Wong’s birthday on March 25.

The ceremony was held at the Diwangkara Holiday Villa Resort and was attended by approximately 40 family members and close friends such as television host Daphne Iking, violinist Dennis Lau, businesswoman Winnie Sin and catwalk guru Benjamin Toong.

“We’ve known each other for six years and we chose Bali because it’s one of our favourite holiday destinations,” she said, adding that she would `love to be a mum by 30′.

Wong, the eldest of three siblings, was formerly the chief executive officer of Absolute Entertainment which produced the martial arts film Kinta and organised concerts for Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau, Taiwanese pop queen Jolin Tsai and American pop group Pussycat Dolls.

He currently manages a property development business with projects in Malaysia, Australia and Hong Kong.

Wong, who first met Chia at Andy Lau’s concert, said: “Amber always inspires me. She believes in reaching for the stars.”
