Biography
Lisa S. was born in Monaco. Her father is of mixed Chinese and French descent, while her mother Peggy is an American Jew. She was raised in New York by her stepfather Gary Selesner (now president of Caesars Palace) and her mother. At age 14, she was scouted and began her modeling career[3][6].
She moved to Hong Kong in 2000, but because people had trouble pronouncing her surname, she shortened it to "S." for convenience[3]. Thanks to her striking appearance, she became popular in Hong Kong’s fashion scene and became spokesperson for brands such as Citibank, De Beers Jewelry, and Olay skincare products[3]. She has been described as an "international model who brings magic to designers’ work."[6]
Lisa S. enjoys traveling[6] and once hosted a fashion lifestyle show in Hong Kong[6]. She previously dated Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody for three years before splitting due to his career commitments.
On April 6, 2010, she married her longtime boyfriend, Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu, after eight years of dating, in a ceremony in South Africa[7]. As both were public figures, they often attracted paparazzi attention[8].
On December 2, 2012, Daniel Wu announced that Lisa S. was three months pregnant. She later became a spokesperson for Friso milk powder for babies and pregnant women, with the TV commercial airing starting June 1.
