Personal Life and Advocacy
Wong was in a long-term relationship with talent agent Richie Jackson, beginning in 1988. In 2000, the couple had twin sons via surrogacy. Tragically, one of the twins, Boaz Dov, passed away shortly after birth, while the other, Jackson Foo Wong, survived. The surrogacy involved Wong’s sperm and an egg donated by Jackson's sister. In 2003, Wong published a memoir about the experience titled Following Foo: The Electronic Adventures of the Chestnut Man.
