Grace Chan (born 23 June 1991) is a Hong Kong-born Canadian actress, television show host, and beauty pageant titleholder. She was Miss Hong Kong 2013 and Miss Chinese International 2014.[1][2] Chan made her acting debut in the 2014 drama, Overachievers.

Miss Hong Kong 2013[]

Grace Chan was crowned Miss Hong Kong on 1 September 2013. From the beginning of the pageant, Grace expressed that it was her childhood dream to enter the Miss Hong Kong Pageant. As an early favourite, Grace beat the other nine contestants by gaining a majority of the 170,000 votes that were cast from the Hong Kong audience.[3] After completing her university studies, Grace immediately returned to Hong Kong for the pageant, sacrificing her graduation ceremony in Vancouver.

Miss Chinese International 2014[]

Organizers this year decided to change the formula of the competition and introduced an elimination round after nearly every segment.

Not only did Grace Chan represent herself in the pageant, she is also the 3rd representative from Hong Kong to have held both titles, the last title belonging to Sonija Kwok 14 years ago. She defeated the hottest favourite contestant Cindy Zhong, who is from Vancouver and became the winner of Miss Chinese International 2014. Cindy was placed 1st runner up.

Personal life[]

Grace Chan was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia at the age of 5. She has a fraternal twin brother and an older sister.[4] Because of her facial features, Chan was speculated to be a mixed Chinese but she clarified that both her biological parents are ethnically Chinese. Chan graduated from Simon Fraser University with a major in Communications[5] and a minor in Publishing.

On 26 July 2018 after much speculation, Chan announced via Instagram that she was engaged to her boyfriend of three years, Hong Kong actor, Kevin Cheng.[6] On 12 August 2018 she married Cheng in Bali, Indonesia. In February 2019, Chan announced on Instagram that she gave birth to their first son, Rafael. She gave birth to the couple’s second son, Yannick, in July 2020.

Chan became good friends with Katy Kung, Zoie Tam and Jessie Sum when filming the drama The Forgotten Valley.
