- This is probably the most open, honest, and vulnerable I've been about myself and my relationship. It wasn't easy to film this video. There's no hiding but just the truth of our emotions. There have been lots of ups and downs for both of us. I guess one thing I've learned through all of this is to stay true to yourself, stay true to your values, and have an open communication. You may never change someone's prejudices or opinions, but ultimately, what’s important is that I do what’s right for me and my life. Love, Joanna xx

PLEASE BE AWARE OF A SCAMMER using my profile picture and pretending to be me claiming that you have won a prize. DO NOT reveal your information or reply to the comment. It is NOT ME. 😢
Oh, thanks for that, Joanna! I really appreciate that!
Thanks for the warning...take care 👍
I think I might have that scammer connected to my comment, but I'm not sure.
Yea they just contacted me on here 😑 I knew something wasn't quite right
It was the telegram
The telegram
Like what the heck smh 😐
I've received a reply, too. And I'm correct haha ~ a scammer
TERRENCE: YOU know how successful you are obviously you are a kind and supportive person. Keep your head held high and lean on Joanna. Her mom should be MORE proud of you and what you have accomplished BECAUSE you did it IN SPITE of coming from a less fortunate background. Also, you, your family, your father - AREN’T lesser people because of divorce or money. People have what they have and if you do the best you can and are a kind person, it’s all that counts. There are plenty of people who came from “money” and had a “good upbringing” who are hateful and terrible people. Upbringing doesn’t matter. Who YOU are is all that matters. Keep being awesome! If someone doesn’t like or support you, it’s THEIR LOSS and says more about them than you!
JOANNA - you are lovely and inspiring I’m so glad you both have each other! Thanks for sharing these heartfelt moments with us.
My dad is from English speaking family and my mum is from mandarin speaking family, my mum was looked down, however I’m bilingual, good in both languages, who could look down on me? Honestly I don’t care even if they are family members. Everyone values life differently. I married to my hubby who is a simple man and his family is also very simple and humble. I’m a go getter since he is simple. You guys will make it! 敬而远之也是一种生活方式
The fact that you two were able to share your most personal issues about your lives on social media takes guts. My heart ached when you two were crying. Thank you both Joanna and Terrance ❤ for sharing this with us. Meanwhile Rusty was chilling the entire duration of the video lol.
Without a doubt you two were meant for each other in spite of familial support or not. I wish you both, Terrence and Joanna, the very best. It was a very brave thing to be vulnerable and to speak your truths.
I hope you both will read this. You only get 1 life. I am 53 and my husband 56 and we wasted most of our lives trying to please our families on both sides, and all they ever tried to do was destroy us. Even after we were married and had our daughter. It wasn't until we decided to move to another state, which our families had a fit over, it wasn't until then we felt free. Never ever let your parents tell you who you should love. You love each other? Then that's what matters. No matter how much you have people will always look down their nose at you. Live for yourselves, each other, and God. Be blessed. 💙
Oh wow! The topic about Joanna's parents is just intense.
But I love how Terrence said, as parents, they just want what is best for their children. It is great that he does not hold any grudges. And it is great that he is standing his ground. You are right, remain true to yourself. If people cannot accept you for who you are, it is their loss. Although I understand it would be very nice if you and Joanna's parents get along, but what can we do if they are not willing to know you. The important thing right now is that you two compliment each other. Let the love continue to grow! You too are doing great! Thanks for sharing this,
Hi Rusty! Love your hair! :D
it is refreshing to see our fitness inspiration this vulnerable but your stories are all so relatable. Wishing the best for the two of you, continue to share love. Sending love
You guys are so sweet together and the respect you have for each other just shines✨ Joanna you are both so lucky to have found each other, wishing you only the best❤
Thank you soooo much Joanna and Terrence for sharing your family life and goals with us! I really appreciate your honesty and welcome it with open arms. You're a great example for us all. I heard that sunlight is the best antiseptic.. meaning: bringing these deeper issues into the light and not being afraid to say what you really feel or think about something can help you to heal. I'm finally trying to do this and now I'm 30. I really admire you both. Your connection and support of eachother is very noticeable. I think being raised the way both of you were gives you a look at the flip side and will help you to be more balanced when it comes to your own relationship and family. You can provide a nourishing and loving environment, like a greenhouse where everyone can flourish and grow and find their path without harsh expectations. I wish you both love and growth.
Really appreciate that both of you are willing to open up and saying deeper facts about each other. Great video
Thank you Joanna and Terrence for sharing your honest and raw feelings with all of us....it's beautiful. You are both made for each other. 💞
Terrence is such a pure soul 🥺 may god bless u both with health and lots of love
You’re such a sweet couple ❤ its so nice to see you talking about each other, you have both chosen each other because the other person will help you become your best self. I’m sorry your family hasn’t been supportive, I hope they can see how much you love and respect each other and treat you as adults in a healthy relationship
Cherished the love you have for each other ❤️ it's not easy to find a person who truly love you for who you are.👍❤️
Thank you for being so vulnerable, and relatable
You both are beautiful souls, Self-made ! His upbringing is Amazing and I'm sure your parents will see through and bless the two of you !!
I've been moved by a lot of your videos over the years. This one touched me in a different way. Exposing your weaknesses really allows your strength to shine.
Thank you vor being so honest, it must have been hard to open up like this publicly!!! Loads of love to both of you!! May your love grow and cherish!!!!!
so touching Joanna. (when you cry we cry) As a parent speaking, I'm sure your parents will eventually come around and see the good in your partner, Terence. thank you for sharing this with us!
Dear Joanna, please know that you are an inspiration for me since the last 2 years and following your workouts have helped me stay physically and mentally fit and sane, even during the toughest challenges in my life. Even this morning my day started with a sweet smile from you and your bootcamp workout. When I see you in tears in this video with Terrance I can't help myself but cry with you. You will always be the Goddess of fitness and health for me. Stay strong and keep inspiring more people like me :)
Thank you for sharing and for being for vulnerable, Joanna and Terrence! Both of you are so supportive of each other. Wishing you both the best❤
Never knew that my fav fitness instructor shares same story as mine. But one thing i can say Joanna, stay together no matter what and with time, your parents will see through both of your commitment. Wish you very best. As for me, we are now married for last 2 years but my mother never wanted this to happen. Things haven't changed drastically but i think someday she will come to terms with this. ❤️
Wow, Joanna, the intro already breaks my heart - wishing you the best, most wonderfully happy life
This is so powerful on numerous levels! Thank you for your bravery both of you 🙏🏾
I've always known you as a fitness coach who has tired-as-hell work-out sessions and is quite strict with your diet/ lifestyle - in a sense that you're so perfect, making it's hard to feel relatable even though I'm an OG followers and still watch your videos for my workouts.
But today seeing you opened up and show your vulnerabilty helped me feel much more relatable, as an sister rather than some online fitness coach. Yes your love will surely show, we just don't know when but God has his plan for us.
My dad didn't receive love and respect from my maternal side at first as well because he was poor and required my mom to convert to his religion for marriage. When my mom went thru multiple surgery and almost lost her life, my dad put everything behind, stayed by her side and helped her recover. He slowly but surely proved to my grandparents his love to his mom. And now he's my grand-dad favorite in law despite my mom has 8 siblings.
Or in my case, although my parents love and respect my boyfriend, they would not grant their bleessings until he agree to convert into my religion. But problem is his parents also want me to convert into theirs. We also just celebrate our 4th anni and still haven't figure it out yet.
May my story help strenghthen your faith. All parents always want the best for their kids, they just express it in different ways, sometimes too extreme that we can't see it straight.
god that got me feeling emotional. i truly hope it gets better for you two! you both deserve genuine happiness and support. ♡
Ahhhh this was so touching - it's only 8am here, but geez. Lots of food for thought this morning! Be well guys! ♥
I think you both are really great trainers and genuine as people. All of us here have the best wishes for you both and I think your parents are super proud of you.
Thanks for posting this Joanna! I absolutely love your channel! You two are strong, you can go through everything! Good luck
I love you two so much as a couple, I love all your videos but this one was so unexpected and refreshing. When you cry I started to cry, so sweet and honest. I loved it
I love the transparency of this video! Thanks for sharing Johanna and all the best with your relationship with Terrence!
Thanks very much for sharing this. It further confirms the really genuine person that you are, and it’s a great reality check for lots of us that other people’s lives are often more complicated than we think.
Thanks for sharing this to us Joanna & Terence… more power on your relationship & goals in life
I have had a long journey and I know that all that really matters is love and trust and honesty and kindness. It does not matter what your parents had or what education you have had. I cannot imagine anyone not being happy that their daughter has a man that loves her like Terrance loves you Joanna. He is a fine man that is responsible and hard working and good and kind. He is a blessing and a love and I believe you are both very fortunate to have each other. I have respect and kindness toward each of you and both of you together ... you will each do well no matter what. You have what it takes !!! Much love.
Rusty is super adorable! Wishing him healthy and happy. ❤
I have been filling you since you started TH-cam and I am so happy for you. I was wondering if you two were still together. I’m so glad 😊
Stay blessed guys, I love how you guys are with each other❤ Terrence truly seems like the kindest and nicest guy, in time your parents will see this too🙏
Bravo for being so honest and raw. Your parents brought you up to be educated and strong, and that's where you are today! An educated, strong woman who thinks for herself, knows right from wrong and makes her own decisions. They obviously love you very much. Give them time to come around. T seems like a genuine, loving person, so all is good!
Joanna n Terence, both of you are so real n open to each other. That is our relationship is all about. Being simple is good. Joanna, I fully agreed with you. A person’s value is judged by honesty, integrity, humble and respectful. It does not matter what their qualifications and background. Cheers to you both n many more years to come.
Oh my dear Joanna !! In a sec u made me emotional , please dont cry , i want you people to be together and joyful . God bless you both .💚💚
sending love and hugs to both of you. Looking at how both of your interaction feels so sweet
So honest and humble, true to themselves, and value their parents and family. Truly a really nice couple. I wish you well, health and lots of happiness.
Such a beautiful couple, I really hope your parents see this video and realise that you two are meant to be❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your love is beautiful, wishing you both the best!
Thanks for sharing and being so honest and transparent. Both of you have been inspiring. Appreciate your realness…
So lovely to see up and close interview, stay together 😘
Wow, I shed a tear watching this and I laughed as well. Here’s a big hug from me to you both and I wish all that you wish for yourselves & your relationship. 🥂
You guys are so cute!! it’s just so nice to find someone with the same interests and goals as you ❤
Dear Joanna,
When I watched your video, I felt very emotional when you talked about your caring and concern for your partner, and how you shared to us a personal vulnerability about your Mum's opinion regsrding the person you share your life with.
I am going through the same thing with my partner (we have been together for 3 years, Mom considering he is from a broken place and not being more secure for myself) and the struggle is one of life's challenge. But I hang in there.
Please keep on being strong, keep sharing about it to people who care about you, because you are giving so much to the world, and to those special people around you. You deserve love
I followed you since you were making videos 7 years ago and I keep following you. Because I support you, and I feel you. Be strong Joanna. ❤️
With much Love,
Sophie
I can total relate to you Joanna! What's really matter is both of you are supportive to each other, this is the most important thing to do and please keep it up!!! Love both of you a lot! Jiayouuuu!!!
So touching and what a lovely couple. Just follow your heart and do what is right for both of you and time will tell especially Joanna parent.My advise to them is give them the happiness they deserve ❤
Great video. I think that anyone who makes your kid smile is the right one for your kid. If your kid finds someone who loves and respects them, what a blessing. Anyone who carries himself or herself with love and respect came from the right background. from there, life's ups and downs will just be bumps in the road.
It takes guts to make such kind of Video but I am glad that you guys are so genuine and honest with us 😇❤️
I don't know what'll happen in the future but I really hope that you both get all the happiness. Hopefully,you stay together forever.
Love getting to see this side of you and y’all are such a loving couple just live your life and eventually you parents will come around
You both are so honest about your answers..i can understand when Jonna said different upbringing and family views Impact.. well i wish you Both to come over your fear like a warrior..lots of love and good wishes to Both of You..God Bless you Both ❤️❤️
This is so cute and honest! Thanks for opening up to us and keep the inspiration going. Big hug to both!
Please DONT BELIEVE IN THIS SCAM!! it’s Joanna here.
Love your workouts joanna! I've seen this vid for months but wasn't interested tbh but now I'm glad i watched it. It's very hard to be vulnerable and honest especially when loved ones are involved. The most undisputed important reminder is you're measured by your character - how you treat others, commitment, hard work, and resiliency towards yours dreams and not with fancy titles which no one gives you the authority to belittle others btw. Lasty come back Joanna!
Wishing you both genuine happiness.
Dearest Joaanna and Terrence, thank you for sharing this with your followers. To you Joanna, Terrence is such a beautiful soul and you are both blessed to have each other. I am a Malaysian too and I know the way our culture is, families can be very intrusive sometimes. I live abroad now and I have learnt how to let go of family members who bring me pain and tears. Not saying that you must do that to your mum but love her, she is your mum but at the same time where Terrence is concerned do not let anyone dis-respect him. Keep supporting each other the way you do. You are both each others future. Love and light to you both and Rusty and your other pets.
Thank you for being so open. 💓 💗
Unfortunatly Confucianism still is strong in many aspects of the society in China, Singapore South Korea or Japan (to mention a few). Particularly the family structure the husband figure must provide for the family and be financially successful and have a good family background with stable proper job in a good big company.
Family is one of those things you are not able to choose but once the individual is a fully grow up person is up to him or her drive and talent to be successful.
I feel sorry for Joanna 's parents who aren't able to see how beautiful, driven, hard working and caring person her partner is.
Keep in good light
🤍 both of you.
from London

Well said
You are my virtual friend Joanna and so is your partner. Much love for both of you ❤ 💛 💗
Hey jonna give you lots and lots of love to you ❤️ I was there in your situation earlier but I listen to my heart only and do my 100% for my relationship, and accepted the fact that give your 100% and don't take stress about future❤️
Both of u will be happy together with the support of both families soon! Gambate, Joanna and Terence!
this is my 1st time to watch your video. i sat alone watched this video and in 17 mins and 52 sec I'm started crying😭 and now I've subscribed. good luck to your relationship ❤️🤞 Godbless 🙏
Wow this guy is truly a beast, in a sense that he is such a solid human being. Even with all the judgement, he is still able to lift his head up high and be respectful at the same time. And he's got the support from a very understanding wife. Wish this couple all the best and hopefully one day everything will work out and you guys will be happy!
Thank you for sharing, it can be hard with family, you both are lovely people and have a great, supportive relationship. 💕
You are a wonderful couple! Hopefully your parents will grow wiser and see that your happiness is the most important thing your relationship - everything else is secondary. ❤️💙😘
your video made my cry. i can relate. my family (especially my mom) is very judgmental as well. and its very hard when you grow up family oriented and your significant other is not welcomed.
Stay connected to each other .. parents have already spent their lives can't understand emptions of this generation. Keep smiling
The harder the life, the stronger you will become. The stronger you become, the easier the life will be.
Joanna and Terrance you both are made for each other❤️. Everything is going to be alright. Good things take time.Stay strong.
Love❤️
He's a fantastic cook based on those pictures. How thoughtful and sweet! 💕
a very intimate video, thanks for sharing! i hope to see more, more and more videos of the two of you in the future!
Joanna.. thanks for sharing these personal details so we know you and Terrance better.. what your parents think matter but only to an extent.. they need to respect that you’ve found an important relationship and whether they like or not they cannot define or limit your life experience even though with a so called good purpose or trying to protect you in a way. Wish all the best and that eventually they accept Terrance fully with love and respect!
I empathize with you! I grew up in a traditional and conservative family. Whatever values that is ingrained in you, take it and eventually they will accept your partner. I know from experience. For now, enjoy your life together. One day at a time. 加油！
It takes a lot to share very personal things.
Keep working hard, try your best and never give up.
👍🙏
You hv our blessings. Go chase your happiness Joanna.
I really admire your relationship, as young as I am and I haven't really experienced a relationship this is the relationship I would aspire to have or something close😊🌼
Stay blessed you guys ... sending all the love your way.
Feel sad. Same thing in an Indian and African culture. Love is REALLY HARD. Listening to you two, shows what real life is.
Wonderful video. I'm sorry that it's been so hard with your parents Joanna ❤️
U two are cute and blessed. U don't worry, just keep those good hearts.
It was so nice getting to know both of yyou on a deeper level. Wishing both of you all the best. You do make a very compatible couple. Like what they say, unlike poles attract. My husband and I came from very contrasting backgrounds too and we have been together for almost 40 years!
Wow this was emotional. You can't make everyone happy or make everyone like you that's just life. But you can make each other happy that's what's more important.
Love each other well, be each other's biggest champion and remember that you are both on the same team no matter others' negative and unsupportive voices. In time, your parents will see through all the fluff and come to appreciate the most important thing of all in any relationship, is that you can both weather good times and stormy days and come out triumphantly together. My parents were once very against my relationship but all is well now and we will be celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary next month. God bless and take care of yourself and each other.
You guys are so cute! Wish you a long life full of health, love and gratification. Greetings from USA.
He really got a big heart 🥹
Wow wow wow. After starting to exercise with your videos around 2020, I appreciate both of you being so vulnerable in this video. I learnt so much even about myself. Lol don't kill Terrence 😂. I think you are both passionate and empathetic. Thank you Joanna and Terrence 👍🏿.
Wealth is lost.... Nothing is lost
Health is lost ..... Something is lost
Character is lost... Everything is lost
Terrence knows his priority well... Grounded and a humble person!
Hei joanah i m from India nd always follow you today I feel so good to know you personally,thanks for these vidio
You guys are so lovely,best wishes for you both.🥰🥰🙏🙏
I LOVE YOU both
listening at terrence I see someone with good upbringing. joanna mom is someone i wouldn’t want to have as mom. i am happy u 2 are happy together.
Just stay strong never loose what you have there are no such second chances in my humble opinion
*"I only have two. I'm upset right now 😂"*
Loved this video Joanna .
All the best Joanna and Terrence!!
Hey Joanna, I can say I faced 99% of the same family rejections in my current relationship too. Well, as a matter of fact, can't change family's mindset, but only can improve ourselves. Keep going strong, both you and Terrence! 💖 I'm sure, time will tell and heal! 🌟
love you both! 💗✨
