Media personality Tracy Wanjiru has opened up about not growing up knowing the dad.

Tracy wished that her dad was Hollywood movie icon, Jackie Chan.

In a video clip that was posted on her social media, Tracy told her followers, "I used Jackie Chan's giff on my stories," she started the clip by saying, "I remember back in the day, I did not grow up with my dad, I never knew my dad."

Tracy truly believed her dad was a man of great repute and a megastar.

"When I used to pray, I would tell God, 'You know God I hope, one day when I meet my dad, it is Jackie Chan'."

She continued, "You know, I was so convinced that Jackie Chan was my dad."

Sighing heavily she said, "How life turns out!!!"

Adding, "He is not the father."

In 1982, Chan married Joan Lin, a Taiwanese actress. Their son, singer and actor Jaycee Chan, was born that same year.

Chan's extra-marital affair with Elaine Ng Yi-Lei produced a daughter by the name of Etta Ng Chok Lam, born on 18 January 1999.

It turned into a scandal within the media.

Commenting on the scandal, Chan said he regretted the affair adding that he had "only committed a fault that many men in the world commit".

On his social media Chan paid tribute to his older brother saying, "I remember him once saying, “Anyone, no matter how wealthy you were yesterday, no matter how defeated you were yesterday when you wake up the next morning, you must continue to be a person and keep on living."

He continued, "Tomorrow will always be better than yesterday. That’s life“. We, as juniors, will always remember your words. May you rest in peace."

Currently, he owns a racing car squad called Jackie Chan DC Racing that will be going to  America to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for 2023.
