‘Bling Empire’ stars Chèrie Chan and Jessey Lee have been keeping a big secret!
It turns out the couple have been married for months. They secretly married in September at the Chateau de Saran in Champagne, France.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they only had eight guests at their intimate wedding.
Sweetie told E! News, “This wedding, he planned it all. I wasn’t excited about getting married because, for me at the time, I wanted to get married because I wanted my mom to be there. And he did everything, so I think I got lucky. I had nothing to do, I was not a bridezilla.”
For her special day, Chan wore a custom strapless dress from Nicole + Felicia, which had 500 yards of layered tulle and a 12-foot train. Her veil was adorned with ostrich feathers and crystals.
Jessey opted for a Dior and Dolce & Gabbana suit.
After the wedding, Chèrie gave Jessey a love song she wrote and recorded called “Destiny”, which will be released on Valentine’s Day.
The couple plan to hold a bigger wedding celebration at a later date, so both sides of their family can attend.
Although Chèrie popped the question during the first season of “Bling Empire,” Jessey later surprised her with his own elaborate proposal at the Jacquemart-André Museum in Paris in August, just a week before their wedding.
For his proposal, Lee commissioned a special painting of himself and Chan which is adorned with the words “Will You Marry Me?”
Lee told People magazine, “I wanted to propose to Chèrie many times. The first time was in the Maldives, but Chérie was extremely pregnant and I didn’t want to do anything but take care of her.”
“The second time, I had planned a family trip to propose to Sweetheart under the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, but her mother was really sick, so I postponed all the engagement,” Jessey continued. “Although Cherie proposed to me, I’m glad I proposed to her now. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but the timing just wasn’t right.”
Chan admitted, “I was very, very shocked, I thought we were just doing a private tour, but Jessey closed the whole museum for me. And the special paint is something that will always be close to my heart.”
The couple won’t be returning to “Bling Empire” for the second season, so marriage likely won’t be a storyline. Of their outing, Jessey shared to E! News, “We just thought it was time for us to move on and focus on our family.”
Chèrie and Jessey are the parents of two children, daughter J’adore, 5, and son Jevon, 2.
