Julie Chang Is Happily Married To Husband Lief Drake

"True relationship is about growing as a couple, learning about each other, and never giving up on each other" and Julie and Lief are a true example of a happy relationship. 

Julie met Lief Drake for the first time in high school. Julie said,

"We went to rival schools in Ann Arbor. I was dating his best friend's older brother at the time. So he barely made eye contact with me!"

They went separate ways for college and after 15 years, she got a chance to reconnect with her childhood friends and there she met her future husband.

"Sparks flew, and we proceeded to see each other every single day until I moved to Los Angeles nine months later for work."

Julie Chang's Struggle With Brain Tumor

KTTV's presenter was diagnosed with brain tumor in the month of September 2013. She came to know about the tumor when she underwent a CT scan following a surfing accident.

Good Day LA anchor Maria Sansone wrote for Fox 11,

"One of the difficulties in her road to recovery has been her eyesight. It's improving every day but it's definitely not 100%. But, trust me it's not holding her back! She's learned to roll with it."

'I always knew Julie was a shining star but now I'm convinced she's a superhero! Her attitude in all of this is simply unbelievable. We can all take a page out of Julie's book and not take one single day for granted!'

The star also explained,

"LA, thank you. If it wasn't for my move to Southern California, I would've never taken up surfing, which in a way, may have saved my life."

She underwent a major surgery in late November 2013. You can see the Instagram post of the diva over here:

Julie actually wanted Lief to move on in his life when she came to know about the brain tumor.

"I tried to set him free but he wouldn't have it. He proposed right there!"

Thankfully, after her full recovery, Lief proposed his lady love the second time in December 2013.

"We'd already been through the 'and sickness and in health' part, so of course, I said yes all over again!"

True love never falls apart!
