The father of three non-biological children urges no fear of marriage; honesty and trust are the foundation. The divorce case known as 'married eight years, three daughters none biologically his' has yielded more details. On August 14, Mr. Wei told media the story of the marriage, with the two sides' starkly different accounts tugged at countless netizens' hearts.
Mr. Wei and Ms. Hou met through a social app and committed within months. Because Ms. Hou's family wanted a live-in son-in-law and she was already pregnant, Mr. Wei did not question the children's paternity. Out of respect for her filial piety, he paid 100,000 yuan in bride price, and the couple registered their marriage and held a wedding in 2018. Their first daughter was born that September, and the couple ran a restaurant in Ningbo. In July 2025, Ms. Hou gave birth to twin baby girls. To outsiders, it looked like a happy, child-surrounded family.
For years Mr. Wei shouldered the family alone, raising three girls. Only in 2026 did a paternity test show none of the three daughters was biologically related to him. Looking back at past oddities, Mr. Wei said the other side was very good at pretending. The news also hit his mother hard; the elderly woman even begged her son to keep one child, but he refused, saying he had no legal obligation and did not want the children to suffer stigma over their origins later.
