"Hope this next year is full of health, time w loved ones and joyful memories. Happy Lunar New Year from our family to yours," Lin concluded.
Fans sent blessings one after another, praising him for keeping his secret so well.
"Congratulations on your marriage, which is God’s blessing."

"May the arena of life also be filled with sanity!"
"There are a lot of blessings I want to say because I really appreciate you. "May you always have that unconditional love and support, because you are always warming other people."
