Chin married Taiwanese singer Murong Ying in 1987. They separated after Chin was discovered dating his personal assistant, Eileen Cheah, at that time. Cheah gave birth to their daughter, Elise, in
Malaysia on 18 August 2010. Chin and Cheah broke up in 2011, a year after their daughter was born. In an interview with

According to Chin, a divorce would mean selling their house which would leave his wife homeless. Currently, Chin lives alone in a rented apartment. On 7 October 2024, Chin suffered a heart attack during filming with Mark Lee. He was rushed to
National University Hospital and underwent a
coronary stenting procedure. Chin underwent another surgery on 22 October. == Filmography ==
