The Future for Kenix Kwok
Kenix Kwok (郭可盈) is the epitome of a successful woman – she had a successful entertainment career and is happily married to actor Frankie Lam (林文龍), with whom they have a beautiful 3-year-old daughter together. Semi-retired from acting in recent years, Kenix’s happiness comes from spending time with her family.
Kenix first participated in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant competition in 1993, and although she did not win the crown, she signed with TVB. In her early career, Kenix filmed the first three installments of Detective Investigations Files <刑事偵緝檔案> alongside Michael Tao (陶大宇), enabling her to rise to the peak of her acting career.
Marrying Her Other Half, Frankie Lam
Kenix married long-term boyfriend, Frankie, after nine years of dating. When Kenix first met Frankie, she thought that he was a typical handsome playboy but disclosed that after getting to know him, he was more than meets the eye. “His personality is very different from what he looks like; he’s a dependable and mature man with loving family ideals.”
The pair met on the set of Down Memory Lane <萬里長情>, a 1995 series starring Alex Man (萬梓良) and Michelle Yim (米雪). Frankie usually practiced his lines by himself in the dressing room, and that was when he first caught the attention of the young Kenix. The duo started dating after filming ended and finally got married in 2004.
Despite reports about Frankie’s past infidelity, Kenix voiced her trust in her husband and told the media that Frankie is a phenomenal father who loves their daughter, Tania. Kenix said, “When we were dating, Frankie would always indirectly tell me that we should have children! At that time, I didn’t think about having children yet…that’s why we had our first child when I was almost 40 years old.”
Tania is the Kenix’s Pride and Joy
Since Frankie and Kenix became parents, their topic of conversation revolved around their daughter Tania. Kenix revealed that she enjoys hugging Tania and that it is important to display a lot of love during the earlier onsets of childhood. “Our caretaker usually sleeps in the same room as Tania. When she left, I was afraid that she might not be used to sleeping by herself; now she sleeps in between Frankie and I!”
In regards to raising their only child, Kenix and Frankie have only three rules. “I only have three requirements for her. She has to be obedient, self-disciplined, and courteous.” Kenix also voiced her dislike for using frightening tactics in teaching their child. She prefers stating her arguments with principle and said that she does not want to ruin her mother-daughter relationship by yelling at Tania. “Children are very smart nowadays. They learn fast and adults have to set a good example for their children.”
It was also discovered that little Tania has quite the musical talent when it comes to piano. “She knew how to play nine songs only after three lessons! She also sings along to classic Chinese songs during our car rides,” Kenix replied enthusiastically.
Because Tania is such a self-disciplined and lovable child, the media asked if the pair would consider having more children. Kenix admitted that she had wanted more children initially. However, due to the heavy pollution in Hong Kong and environmental surroundings, it is not really suitable to have another child, but she cannot guarantee that she will not in the future.
What The Future Holds for Kenix
Kenix grew up in a wealthy family, as her father owns a plastic factory. She looks up to her father and said even though she does not want to take part of the family business, she is very proud of him. Not wanting to be named a wealthy princess, Kenix would rather work full-time than to rely on her family’s wealth.
Kenix’s career began successfully after she entered the Miss Hong Kong Pageant in 1993. But now, married with a child, her career as an actress cannot be sustained forever. Kenix’s last series was 2009’s grand production, Born Rich <富貴門> while she was still pregnant with Tania. Now, Kenix’s passions including spending time with Tania and their house’s interior design.
“It doesn’t matter where I go, I’ll be happy with Tania and Frankie beside me. Some people say that there’s no time left for couples after having kids, but I don’t think that’s the case! I would miss my daughter if she weren’t here; I want to share everything with her.” Kenix and Frankie recently hit another milestone in their lives when they celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.

awww they are such a cute family!!! both still looking great even in their 40s!! hope to see kenix more on the tv screen! and though i’m not a fan of CTI, can’t wait to see frankie in that doctor series!! 🙂
wish them all much love and happiness! 🙂
yeah agreed and glad they work things out since having kids and matured.
a happy family:d
Is such a good family. But is such a waste Kenix is not filming any drama or movie, she was one of my favourite actress. Plus she is beautiful.
yeah-better than the TVB goddesses (i.e christine and eliza)
agree. quite a waste for kenix to let go of her career at her height of popularity since she has always had a better career than frankie when she was active back then. thank god that frankie has repented from his cheating incident a few years ago.
I’m glad that Kenix chose being with her daughter over her career. Besides she realizes that she has made the right choice. After all, one in the family in the acting business is quite enough and everybody is happy. I particularly like Frankie in FH2.
Second this. He looks like the real life him. Nice and caring man.
What is a beautiful family with beautiful looking people! Tania is a beauty like her mom and has good looking traits from her dad too.
I miss seeing Kenix and Frankie in drama series.
Kenix is beautiful, and a good actress.
I like skinny women….
The last time I saw her in Born Rich I was shocked by her appearance. For a beautiful woman, she has messed with her face way too much.
Agree .. I think her looks deteriorated after revolving doors of vengeance. She was gorgeous in there w/ Joe Ma. One of my fave series from her …
I think she”s just too skinny. Kenix looked better during her DIF days.
Her DIF days were her skinniest! And she did a lot to her face. Nose to begin with. Why I do not know because she already had this cute button nose. Then chin, and everything else. The above picture is a good picture of her but normally she scares me.
“I’ll be happy with Tania and Frankie beside me.”
That’s so sweet.
I miss seeing her.
What a beautiful family.
*Truly a golden couple, indeed!
Kenix sure has entered her 40s looking gracefully and of course she does have a lot of support, not just the family circle or the TVB. I miss seeing those two in front of the scenes.
The same can’t be said for her fellow Fa Dan Flora Chan; who has gone south since she left TVB management in 2003 and followed her now broke husband Mike Chung. It turns out, not too many people are that crazy about Mike (even the general public).
Hope she’ll come back and do a series each year like Ada Choi… She’s got such fabulous talent.
I couldn’t believe that she was pregnant during Born Rich!! How many months along was she? She seemed so slim?
Gasp, she was pregnant in Born Rich? I couldn’t tell! Maybe it was quite early along or because it was the first so it didn’t show till later.
Yea she looked slim in Born Rich, please excuse me while I go hunt my husband down. That punk has been campaigning for mandatory weight gain since pregnancy day 1. Lol.
I don’t believe she was pregnant during Born Rich. She only showed up at one Born Rich promotional event pregnant, which was way after the series was finished.
Such an adorable family!
ahh one of my favorite married couples.
gorgeous family! really miss seeing kenix though.
In the pic above Tania looks like Frankie:)
I love Kenix, hope can see more of her!
I think Tania looks more like Frankie too from above pic.
They are a lovely family and hope to see Kenix make a comeback – maybe just one series every few years so as not to disrupt her role as a parent/wife. No offense meant, but Frankie looks good, however his acting is kinda ‘wooden’ at times.
The couple sure have a beautiful daughter. She will grow up to be a beauty with such good genes.
Hopefully more sense than to mess with it.
what’s your problem? geeze!
beautiful family. my favorite actor of all times.
Beautiful family. I love love her !!!!!!! She has a nice face and legs 🙂
I noticed there are one or two commenters at jaynestars.com always see the negative about everything. I feel sorry for her/him. Hope he or she could learn and try to look at the positive more. It would be so much better for her/him and easier for everyone else surround her/him.
