Karen Mok Gushes Over October Wedding; Wants Mixed Blood Baby
Earlier in June, Karen Mok (莫文蔚) announced that she will be marrying her German boyfriend, Johannes, who is working in the financial industry and also her first love. The couple’s wedding will be held in Italy on October 1, 2011.
After her marriage, 41-year-old Karen Mok will “upgrade” and become a stepmother to her husband’s three children from a previous marriage. Karen herself who has Welsh, Chinese, German and Persian blood in her, hinted that she will not take any precautions and will wait for heaven to give her a international mixed blood baby of her own.
Karen divulged, “There is really a lot to handle for the wedding and every aspect has to be prepared in advance. Now the preparations are almost done but there are still some minor things here and there that have not been arranged yet. Fortunately, Johannes (her future husband-to-be) will see to them personally. After all marriage is a matter between two people. I have an easily agitated temper while he is more of a steady and stable guy, which is very good (no clashing of personalities). Hence, we have yet to quarrel over the wedding preparations as he often gives in to me.”
Another Banquet in Hong Kong In November
Karen shared details of the wedding, “Our wedding will be held at a church in a vineyard in Italy. There are many grape plantations there, which specialize in producing red wines. Regarding the style of our wedding, Johannes and I have selected a simple but special presentation. There’s no need for any fancy sophisticated stuff. Many people have persistently asked me whether I will immediately conceive a baby after our wedding. Actually, I’m not marrying for the sake of having a baby. If there’s a baby, I will give birth to it. If there isn’t any then I wouldn’t. In any case, I will leave it to God’s will. Furthermore, my fiancé already has three children (from a previous marriage), it’s really nothing, his children will also attend the wedding; we are a family mahs. The eldest child is already 17-years-old and we are like sisters, getting along really well with each other. After the wedding, we plan to go to Europe for our honeymoon. Around November, we will return to Hong Kong to throw a banquet for our relatives and friends but we have not decided on the style of the banquet.
Since I’m an artist, some have asked me whether Johannes and I will be worried about the situation of “the woman being more superior than the male” happening on us. The answer is no, there won’t be such a case. Johannes’ career is very good; I completely don’t understand the things that he knows then why did I choose him? Because he is very smart lor! I like smart men, best if they are all cleverer than me. When I was little, I looked up to my elder brother. My mom said that the boyfriends I chose all seem to have a little of my elder brother’s shadow. All of them were very intelligent.”
Pressure Due To Cross-Country Relationship
Karen revealed, “At first my fiancé, Johannes, was unclear about the degree of my fame. As he often goes onto the Internet, he went to Google it and everything was made known to him. I believe that he had some kind of pressure but because it’s a cross-continent romance, whether it is a good or bad thing, really depends on the individual’s take on this matter. However, the relationship must be maintained diligently and not just seeing each other day and night and then that’s it and can’t be bothered with anything else. After my wedding, I will take more time to be in Europe and will only accept job offers if I really want to do them.
Picked A Train-Style Wedding Dress
Karen continued, “It’s every woman’s dream to wear a unique wedding dress to get married. I have asked my good friend, Johanna Ho (何志恩) to design a wedding dress for me. My bridesmaid will be Ma Yi Ching (馬怡靜) who has already married and emigrated to America. Usually for events, I have worn several pretty gowns before. Now that the design for the wedding gown is up to me to decide, I am instead stumped and do not know which design suits me best. However, I think my wedding gown should be a relatively simple design but of course it must be long enough to drag along the floor (train-style design). My fiancé didn’t participate in choosing the design for my wedding gown. He said it was best that he only see it when I make my first appearance in the church. Wonder what reaction he would have upon seeing me in it because I’m choosing the innocent route for this wedding, haha!”
Not Inviting Former Lovers To Wedding Banquet
Karen continued, “Actually I have dated quite a few times, those friends who know me well could probably count them (her ex-boyfriends) all out at one go. Because there is absolutely nothing that everyone do not know about, haha!” [Karen Mok’s famous rumored ex-boyfriends include Stephen Fung (馮德倫) and Stephen Chow (周星馳).] After having been through so many dating experiences, I have matured and now know what to pay attention to and what to avoid when dating. Different partners each require a different dating approach.
“If you ask me whether my previous romances were a total waste of my youth, I would say no. Of course I don’t feel that it’s a waste since I have ever had it before. I don’t feel that dating necessarily means that one must be married and have kids with your other partner for a romance to be called a fulfilling one. The process is as important too. I actually enjoyed my past romances and do not regret them at all, that was one experience in my life but as for my wedding. However, I wouldn’t invite my former ex-boyfriends to attend it.”

Ah K: Congratulations to Karen Mok once again for getting married, and to her first love! Lucky her, how often do we have the opportunity to be married to our first love? And for Karen Mok’s case, dating halfway around the world before realizing that her first love was the one and being able to get married to him after so many years?
Lol, even Karen’s mom noticed that the men she dated all carried her elder brother’s intelligent trait. Come to think of it, her famous rumored exes, Stephen Fung and Stephen Chow (except for the time when he pitched to American producers to have “The Green Hornet” made into some sci-fi thriller), are known to be extremely intelligent men too.
I understand where Karen is coming from as I find myself attracted to cleverer men too because I believe that intelligent men can engage and impress you with their vast knowledge and thinking in the long term but of course, a good sense of humor would be a plus point too. Heehee!
Hope Karen Mok would indeed be blessed with a baby soon. Since mixed blood babies are usually known to be extremely good-looking when they grow up, I’m sure Karen’s baby with her husband would grow up to be a beautiful girl or a handsome young lad in the future.
Karen and Johannes are a beautiful couple! Congratulations to them and hopefully we get to see photos of their upcoming October wedding in Italy! Wonder if it will take place in Tuscany? Love Italy for the romance!
Congrats to Karen. It’s nice to see a family photo and it’s not often an artist is so open about their relationship.
Congrats to Karen and that is what I mean by fate. You can be on the other side of the world and still be together if it is meant to be. I am so happy for her and hope that she will share details and photos of her wedding. I am also glad that she was open about this as well. Best wishes to her!!
Although I’ve never found Karen to be beautiful, I think she looks really, really good for her age! She looks very healthy, is incredibly slim and happy with life.
Congrats to Karen… wow her bf is not bad looking either! He reminds me of Orlando Bloom a bit (in the pic with her whole family)
karen n her future husband would make some really gorgeous babies…
apparently karen’s a result of mixed marriage too.. i think her grandfather was caucasian…
Karen is simply beautiful. I hope she doesn’t stop producing music albums cuz she’s one of my fave!
“wants mixed blood baby”? My god the level of self inferiority among Asian women knows no bound.
Not saying anything bad about biracial children, BUT just wanting one for the sake of it being biracial just shows self loathing.
If everyone thought like her, all Asians would be extinct. She is not even pretty, looks like a horse.
I think what she meant is she is getting a mixed blood baby. I mean husband to be is caucasian, and if baby is mixed blood, something is very wrong. Nowadays a lot of children are biracial. You won’t find pure blood anything in near future. Not that it is a bad thing or a good thing, just you know practical biology.
“Wants Mixed Blood Baby”
I wonder what sort of baby she will get if not seriously a mixed blood baby since her husband to be is caucasian.
Sure they ‘ll divorce in 5 years max
She is FAR from beautiful or good-looking.
Don’t know much about her and don’t care to. Watched her in ‘Be My Guest’ and my thoughts of her remained the same. Don’t like her at all. I won’t even bother to comment about her singing.
She may not have a pretty face like all the other HK actresses but she is certainly very attractive without trying to hard. There’s something in her that makes you want to keep on staring. I’m not Chinese but I would love to have her looks. As to her singing, I was drawn to her by her songs. That’s how I got to know her. Her style is completely different than the other boring Canto-pops.
karen herself already a mixblood
