Ke Huy Quan and wife Echo Quan have preferred to stay tight-lipped about the secret to their decades-long relationship.
The couple met in Hong Kong while working on the 2004 film 2046. After they started dating, Ke Huy and Echo moved to the U.S. and continued to collaborate on several projects together.
Over the years, Ke Huy has offered rare glimpses at his marriage to Echo. After rising to stardom as a child star in roles such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies, the actor eventually shifted his focus to work behind the camera.
Following his critically-acclaimed involvement in Everything Everywhere All At Once, Ke Huy praised his wife for supporting his return to acting. The Academy Award-nominated film’s director duo, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinhert, also gushed about Echo’s contribution to the project.
“Echo Quan (On Set Translator) was the secret soul of our film set. So many people have told us how much it meant to them to hear the family speaking in multiple languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, Chinglish, and English), and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her,” they tweeted in May 2020.
Meanwhile, Ke Huy has often discussed the surprise he felt over his career’s trajectory taken since his return on screen. Ke Huy has scored awards including a SAG award, a Golden Globe trophy, a Critics’ Choice Movie award and many more for his portrayal of Waymond in the comedy-drama film. Echo has been by her husband’s side amid the professional milestones.
