On July 3rd, Miss World Zhang Zilin shared a photo of her children on social media, with a humorous caption: “My two little besties are on vacation. Getting ready to welcome the busiest two months of the year.” She playfully mentioned that her 8-year-old daughter is no longer a “chubby girl,” but has now transformed into a “slim sister.”
Zhang Zilin referred to July and August as the busiest months of the year, presumably because both of her children have started their summer vacation. While many mothers may find it challenging when their children are on break, Zhang Zilin seemed excited and eager, referring to her two daughters as her besties and clearly enjoying the role of being a mother.
In the photo shared by Zhang Zilin with her younger daughter, she appeared casual yet tall, slim, and beautiful, displaying a gentle and happy smile.
Her 3-year-old daughter also inherited her mother’s beauty, wearing a pink T-shirt and jeans, showcasing a good figure and demeanor at a young age, with fair skin and a cute expression. Zhang Zilin also shared another photo of her younger daughter showing her clear face, with two cute braids, although her eyes were covered, her face shape, nose, and mouth could be seen, clearly showing her potential as a beauty.
Additionally, Zhang Zilin shared a photo of her elder daughter reading a book. Interestingly, she began covering her daughter’s face in photos as she referred to her as the “chubby girl.” Evelyn, who is now around 8 years old, likely in 2nd or 3rd grade, exhibited tall stature and long arms even while seated. Although her face was obscured by the book, Evelyn’s delicate facial features were still discernible.
Zhang Zilin also posted a beautiful selfie, smiling sweetly at the camera, appearing confident and unchanged in appearance.
Some netizens exclaimed, “Sister, you are so beautiful,” prompting Zhang Zilin to humorously ask, “Which sister are you referring to?” The netizen amusingly replied, “Both the elder sister and the two kid sisters are beautiful,” and also inquired about whether the fourth photo was the “chubby girl.” Zhang Zilin, who frequently interacts with her fans, jokingly remarked that her elder daughter was no longer the “chubby girl,” but now the “slim sister.”
In the past, when her elder daughter was born, Zhang Zilin shared a photo showing her daughter’s cute appearance with long legs and rounded eyes on Weibo. At that time, Zhang Zilin thought her daughter was chubby, so she always called her the “chubby girl.” With a pink butterfly hair accessory on her head, the little girl garnered compliments from netizens for inheriting her parents’ long legs.
At 40 years old, standing at 182 cm tall, Zhang Zilin initially pursued track and field but chose to study economics at a different university instead of taking the opportunity to attend Tsinghua University. She later ventured into modeling, winning the 57th Miss World competition and becoming the first Chinese to be crowned “Miss World.”
Due to her height, Zhang Zilin had difficulties in finding a boyfriend. In 2010, through a blind date arranged by friends, she met her now-husband Nie Lei, who is taller than her 182 cm. After a three-year courtship, the couple welcomed their daughter “Chubby Girl” in April 2016, and Zhang Zilin often shares moments of their little one’s growth with her fans. Balancing both career and family, she expressed that love is the true luxury for her, and marriage and family have enriched her world. Now, with a loving husband and adorable daughter, she said she is content.
Zhang Zilin occasionally shares photos of her husband, a high-ranking bank executive, who is even taller than her 182 cm. She fondly calls her husband “Brother Nie” and believes his most charming moments are when he is taking care of their children by holding, comforting, feeding, and changing diapers.
