Ming-Na Wen's Husband: The Actress Found Love with Eric Michael Zee after a Previous Marriage

Ming-Na Wen's husband, Eric Michael Zee, has been with her for over two decades. The actress, who constantly celebrates her family on social media, married her husband two years after finalizing her divorce from her first marriage.

Ming-Na Wen is a Chinese-American actress born in Macau on November 20, 1963. She grew up in Hong Kong before her mother remarried, and they moved to New York, where she attended school and fell in love with acting in third grade.

She then graduated with a degree in theatre and got her big break in the early 1990s, even though she started acting in the mid-1980s.

Ming-Na has starred in several movies and series but became famous for her roles as Jing-Mei Chen in over 100 episodes of "ER," Melinda May in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," and Fennec Shand in "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett."

Additionally, the actress has also voiced several video games and animations. As her career progressed, so did her personal life. On May 19, 1990, she married screenwriter Kirk Aanes known for producing "Love Thy Neighbor."

Their marriage did not last long, as they finalized their divorce in 1993. Even though their union did not produce children, they remained friends until he died in 2014.

Two years later, she married actor Eric Michael Zee on June 16, 1995. Ming-Na Wen and her second husband have since welcomed two children.

His career started in 1993 when he wrote two episodes of "General Hospital." The screenwriter went on to write over 600 episodes of "Loving" and over 300 episodes of "The City."

There is no information and how and when Kirk and Ming-Na met, but they were considered a happy couple until their amicable divorce.

Kirk had atherosclerotic heart disease and died in Fort Myers, Florida, on January 11, 2014. When Ming-Na learned of his death, she tweeted:

"Just learned of the passing of Kirk Aanes. My condolences to his famiy and loved ones. He was a good soul. RIP, dear one."

He and Ming-Na met in 1993 before the "The Joy Luck Club" screening, where she starred as June. Her friend and co-star Rosalind Chao could not give her a ride, so she called her acting teacher in Los Angeles, who asked Eric to call her.

At the time, they were both not into dating Asian people, but the actress revealed during "The Joy Luck Club Reunion Live" that fate happened, and they married two years later.

The couple celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary in 2022, and the actress shared the happy moment on her Instagram. Ming-Na shared a picture of her and Eric, and in the caption, she wrote:
