Early life

Zhang was born in Sichuan, China and moved to Singapore as a teenager. He graduated from the National University of Singapore with a degree in civil engineering.

Career

In 2008, Zhang was spotted after his runner-up finish in the MediaCorp Channel U talent show U Are The One and was signed by MediaCorp.[1] Prior to that, he had a small cameo appearance on the last episode of Rhapsody in Blue in 2006. He was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Star Awards 2009. His breakthrough came in the 2009 anniversary drama Together and he won nominations for the best supporting actor at the Star Awards and Asian Television Awards in 2010. His career peaked when he picked up his first trophy, the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes at the Star Awards 20 and was also crowned as one of the 8 Dukes of Caldecott Hill. The following year, in 2015, he bagged both the Favourite Male Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple awards for his work in World at Your Feet at the Star Awards 2015.[2][3]

Personal life

In 2020, he announced that he has changed his name to Zhang Zhenxuan, saying that his birth name was too complicated.[4]

Zhang has a son and a daughter with Wenzhou native Sally Pan Sichen, whom he met while she was studying in Singapore. He was introduced to his wife, who is 11 years his junior, by host Lee Teng in 2016. The couple started a relationship two years later but have broke up a few times in between. Their son, named Zhang Gaoming Miro, was born in March 2020. A year later, in September 2021, Zhang announced on Instagram that he has a second child, a daughter named Crystal.[5][6][7][8]
