鏡頭前的自信雙眸，肢體流轉間，散發著專業舞者的迷人風采，不論率性時髦、典雅從容、爛漫活潑，透過曾馨瑩的一抹淺笑，為衣著注入她特有的溫婉氣息。而褪下繽紛華服的她，亦如一朵盛放白玫瑰，依舊澄淨脫俗，步入婚姻生活近十四年，她始終記得自己是那位熱愛跳舞的「曾馨瑩」。

簡約求細節

「簡約是優雅的基調。」這句話恰好印證了曾馨瑩私底下的穿衣風格，她表示近幾年開始喜歡休閒風，尤其經典的尼龍單品非常實穿，可正式可休閒，顏色也相當優雅，整體不會太複雜。「通常我選的服飾比較簡單，簡單中帶一點特色。」為曾馨瑩挑選衣著的一大準則，也透露自己日常的服裝搭配，基本上不會超過兩個顏色。平日裡她也會與13歲的大女兒妞妞一同享受穿搭的樂趣，「我覺得很有趣，現在有一個人可以跟你 Share，也覺得很開心，買了東西有人一起 Share，感覺沒那麼浪費。」也笑著說小女兒 QQ 看到也會很羨慕，隨意挑一件 T-shirt 給她，她就會很開心，溫柔笑顏裡滿是對女兒們的珍愛之情。

對於珠寶的喜好，她笑說應該沒有女人不喜歡鑽石，「這兩年最好搭配的還是白金色系，看衣服跟包包如何搭配。」尤其著重於衣服與包包「扣子」的顏色，進而選擇相呼應的珠寶色系，如白金象徵乾淨時髦、黃金營造復古感，極其細膩的小巧思讓人驚艷不已。演繹優雅風韻之餘，這兩年曾馨瑩將目光逐漸放至「男錶」，以手錶代替珠寶，充滿個性感的不羈使她十分著迷。「最近也買了一條粗的頸鏈，帶有美國嬉皮感，我覺得很適合自己。」如今曾馨瑩也更喜歡具設計感的珠寶，即使是簡單的牛仔褲與 T-shirt，皆能輕鬆打造隨性時髦。

兒女教育經

自小懷抱當賢妻良母的憧憬，四代同堂之下，曾馨瑩不僅對家庭盡心竭力，對於三位兒女的教育與陪伴更不遺餘力。憶起婚前生活，教課將近二十年，也去了眾多國家演出，三十歲前能積累如此豐厚經歷，實屬不易，但曾馨瑩說並沒有夢想當世界的頂尖舞者，當時的她已做好進入人生下個階段的準備，「我就認定了進入婚姻，如果仍須出來工作，當然也很好，另一個最期待的是能有自己的小孩。」而懷孕過程更讓她大呼神奇，一個生命由身體所孕育的驚奇，是十幾年過去，也無法忘懷的美妙記憶。她很清楚如果想要跳舞，隨時都可以跳，而孩子的生長過程卻只有一次，「人生本來就是這樣，每個階段都會有不一樣的改變，你要去接受，也必須取捨，都是人生的過程。」她也表示擁有自己的小孩是個相當奇妙又幸福的事，現在的人生，除了自己之外，孩子對她來說，是人生的另一個目標與動力，更是每一天的歡樂來源。曾馨瑩舉例前陣子有天心情不好，大女兒沒問太多，立即傳了一段在房間自彈自唱的可愛影片給她，「至少我覺得當下就有一個人為我轉換心情，馬上就有動力，也隨即鼓勵自己說『開心！開心最重要』。」平日三個兒女也最愛問「你愛不愛我？你最愛誰？」天真活潑的話語、爭風吃醋的模樣，讓曾馨瑩備感窩心又逗趣。

伴隨兒女年齡增長，父母的教育方式也隨之更迭。對此，曾馨瑩表示自己還是個新手媽媽，尤其老大每換一次學校，皆是種新的體驗與挑戰。「第一看環境，第二看師資跟學生素質，第三是學校跟家長的互動。」每個階段皆經過深思熟慮，考量這樣的環境是否適合孩子，而持續讓他們保持學習的心態與動力也是一大關鍵，「不管會不會念書，品行才是最重要的。」課業之餘，曾馨瑩也相當著重「才藝」的養成，以輕鬆的方式，冀望讓孩子們無憂汲取多元才能。為了提早預防青春期的改變，對此曾馨瑩開始與大女兒「搏感情」，「無形中告訴她我一定會成為她最好的好朋友，願意傾聽，永遠會保護她、支持她，不管發生什麼事情一定要跟我討論。」或許是汲取自母親的開放明理，她期望自己能成為亦母亦友般的存在，也笑著說目前為止，老大的叛逆期還不大明顯。

善根正循環

長年從事慈善公益，曾馨瑩也長期默默支持許多青少年與藝文團體，無數善舉讓許多人為之動容。提及近期較特別的公益活動，她表示從2016年就啟動的永齡1111慈善計畫，去年因應疫情關係，很多弱勢團體不容易募款，相當辛苦，因此與家扶基金會攜手發起「讓我幫你，疫起勇敢走下去」的行動，關心疫情帶來的「瀰漫性弱勢危機」，捐款幫助弱勢單親家庭度過艱困的日子，協助他們早日重回日常生活軌道。除了自發性的慈善活動，青少年舞蹈團體也是她相當關心的一環，其中包含近期納入奧運比賽的霹靂舞（Breaking）推廣與培育活動，以身體力行的方式為選手們加油打氣，「因為自己喜歡舞蹈，看到每位舞者都充滿著夢想，他們為了圓夢、為了比賽，充滿鬥志，可以幫到他們內心感到相當滿足。」曾馨瑩表示每次出席的活動都很不一樣，「因為幫助的人不同，每個人都會有自己背後的故事。」每回她都會先跟自己喊話「我一定要很勇敢，不掉眼淚。」但每到活動現場，望見各式各樣的人與故事，看見人生有太多的喜怒哀樂，以及先天或後天造成的無奈與無助，內心油然產生的感觸與體悟，總讓她忍不住濕了雙眸。當活動結束時，曾馨瑩便會不斷撫心自問「下次，我還要做更多！我還能做些什麼？」不僅為心靈捎來洋溢幸福與能量，也讓她更珍惜眼下所擁有的一切，以正向循環耕耘公益，心中的善根終將持續發芽茁壯。

憶起去年前往台北榮總兒童癌症 92 和 93 病房，傳遞「愛閱讀 · 分享愛」計畫，捐贈上千套書本給病童，曾馨瑩一一詢問了他們的願望，「有個國中小女生，事前並不知道我是誰，她許了有難度的心願，想要韓國團體 BTS  的限量版 DVD。」幸虧有韓國朋友的協助，不僅請到 BTS 親自簽名，更特別錄了一段 VCR 為女孩加油打氣，也讓曾馨瑩放下心中大石，凡事盡善盡美的玲瓏心表露無遺。

心境自空明

維持婚姻，實屬不易。對於兩個人一同邁入婚姻的共識，曾馨瑩表示相愛容易相處難，面對現實肯定會有很多起伏，「最重要是彼此有沒有心想去解決，互相協調、溝通，任何一段婚姻不可能單靠一個人完全配合、退讓。」兩個相異的個體，如何在相處過程中為對方著想、如何去調適之間的關係，同時不受委屈，懂得堅持自我理念，皆是值得鑽研之處。「總歸最後，兩個人都要負責任。」提起成熟伴侶的特質，曾馨瑩笑說沒有什麼伴侶是很成熟的，「每個人都有自己的個性，個性最難改變，也不能說誰對誰錯，因為這是人的天性。」她認為大家還是要有這個認知「不要想去改變別人，但我會試著去溝通，互相包容及尊重。」放寬心看待世事，凡事便不會那麼繁雜，使本心保持自在安謐。每對夫妻間皆有獨特的溝通模式，曾馨瑩也分享近期郭董會傳訊息與 LINE 貼圖來傳遞情緒跟想法，「他會用跟年紀不太符合的可愛貼圖，我跟女兒看了都會發出會心一笑，後來我也會回一些可愛貼圖，也是種生活樂趣。」看似簡單平凡的對話，為繁忙夫妻倆的間隙日常捎來一抹甜蜜。

幸福有限論

人生在世，總會遇到不少跌宕轉折，心力備感交瘁的時刻，當然曾馨瑩也不例外，但她表示自己是個善於調節的人，「我會一直鼓勵自己，用正面的方向走出情緒。」最容易的方法，便在於「朋友」的篩選，「盡量找一些比較正面的朋友，因為人在無形中會被改變，在交流時也會感受到這個人正不正、真不真、善不善、好不好。」潛移默化所帶來的影響，是曾馨瑩相當重視的人生課題。論及如何在婚姻家庭中，適時保留自我的樣貌，「常常告訴自己，我不是郭太太，我是曾馨瑩，我還是原來的我；常常提醒自己，不要因為我是郭太太，就覺得自己多了不起，我只是嫁給一個有名的人而已。」之前曾有一位朋友跟她說，你可以過得更奢華，而曾馨瑩這麼回答「人生很多東西夠了就夠了，世界上有這麼多人這麼辛苦，我覺得人的幸福是有限的。如果一直把我的幸福這麼快用完，我也很怕我的幸福就不見了，我會珍惜，但我不想揮霍。」或許是浪漫與理性參半的天蠍座性格，曾馨瑩總是對當下的一切感到知足，簡單平凡中，平安健康便是上天賜予最珍貴的禮物。對於未來的規劃，她希望能以自己的能力，做更多有意義的事，「以前其實沒有想過，自己有能力可以幫助這個社會，現在這幾年，才覺得自己原來有一點小小的能力可以幫助這個社會跟人。」於公益這條路上，她將持續騁馳向前，沿路播下無私種子，以優雅嫻熟之姿，靜待枝葉繁茂結實之日。

Eyes beaming with confidence, her every move radiates with the charm of a professional dancer. Through her bright smile, all fashion styles—whether it’s modern, elegant, or lively—are charged with her distinctive tenderness. Like a blooming white rose, she continues to take on life with purity and authenticity. Even as she is stepping into her fourteenth year of marriage, she is still the passionate dancer who bears the name, Delia Tseng.

With Simplicity and Ease  

Simplicity is the foundation of elegance—a saying that perfectly captures Delia’s personal style. Recently, she has become more into casual attires. For instance, the classic nylon garments have proven to be extremely convenient and perfect for any occasion without being overly complex. “I usually go for simple choices,  simple but with character.” Delia also shares that she rarely goes for color coordination that takes more than two different shades. In her spare time, she enjoys dressing up with her thirteen-year-old daughter, Sandy. “I think it’s so much fun now that there is someone who can share these clothes with you. It’s less wasteful, which I’m also happy about.” Chuckling, Delia says that her youngest daughter, QQ, sometimes gets a little jealous, but then gets very happy when she gets to choose a T-shirt. As Delia shares these cute life moments, it isn’t hard to feel her love for her daughters through her gentle smiles, a perfect manifestation of her motherly love. 

Speaking of jewelry, she laughs and says there should be no woman who doesn’t like white diamonds. “The white and gold combination is probably still the best choice, depending on how you pair it with your outfit.” Focusing on the color of the buttons on her clothing and handbag, Delia often chooses jewelry that bears the same color, with white gold as symbols of simple modernity and gold as a totem of retro vintage. The way she pays attention to such minute details is rather fascinating. Other than her elegant style, lately Delia has started looking into male wristwatches as well. Replacing jewelry with watches, she finds the unconventional but personal style captivating. “I recently just bought a thick necklace with an American hippie feel, which I think suits me.” Nowadays, Delia is more drawn to jewelry with distinctive designs. Even when it’s paired with just a pair of jeans and white T-shirt, her personal style can be casually created. 

On Child Education 

Since she was a kid, Delia has cherished the dream of being a good wife and mother. With four generations living under the same roof, Delia is not only devoted to her family, but also dedicated to providing her three kids with proper education and support. Recalling the time before she got married, she had been teaching for almost twenty years and had gone on tour to countless countries. However, even with her experience, Delia had never wanted to be an internationally-renowned dancer. She was already prepared to step into the next stage of life. “I was certain I wanted to step into marriage. It’s fine if I still had to keep working, but I was most excited about having my own kids.” Thinking back to her pregnancy, Delia remembers how fascinated she was. The amazing process of bringing life to this world is something she can never forget, regardless of how much time has passed. She understood that if she wanted to dance again, she could. But the process of a kid growing up is something that cannot be repeated. “That’s how life is. Every stage comes with different changes that you need to accept. It’s all just a part of life.” Delia believes having her own children is such a wonderful and delightful thing. Now, besides her own life, her kids have become her goal and motivation. They have also become her source of happiness. A while ago, when Delia was feeling upset, without asking what was going on, Sandy immediately sent her a cute video of her singing and playing in her room. “In that moment, it felt like someone was emotionally there for me. I felt motivated and told myself that being happy is the most important thing.” On a daily basis, her kids always bombard her with the question of who she loves the most. Naive and playful, the way her kids interact with each other brings amusement to Delia’s life and never fails to light up her mood. 

As kids grow up, parenting methods also change along with it; it’s something Delia is rather new to. Especially every time when Sandy transfers, it is a new experience and challenge. “First, we look at the environment. Then, the quality of the teachers and students. Lastly, it’s the interaction between the school and the parents.” With careful consideration, she evaluates the environment to make sure it’s the right one for her kids. It is also crucial to keep them motivated when it comes to learning. “It’s not about the scores, it’s about the manners.” Aside from academics, Delia also places emphasis on the development of talents. Through sustainable and relaxed approaches, she hopes that her kids can acquire multiple talents in a safe environment. To prevent changes that come with adolescence, Delia has begun to build her friendship with her oldest daughter. “I want her to know that I will become her best friend who will always be there to listen, to protect and to support, no matter what happens.” Perhaps because of her mother’s openness and understanding, Delia hopes that she can become both a friend and a mother for her daughter. Laughing lightly, she says that so far Sandy’s rebelliousness is not yet obvious. 

A Positive Cycle  

Always involved in philanthropy and charity, Delia has been a long-time supporter of youth and arts organizations. Speaking of recent special charity events, she recalls the 1111 Birthday Charity Project, which was hosted by Yonglin Foundation last year and created to support families in need of help. “Due to the pandemic, many underprivileged communities have been having trouble raising sufficient funds. We chose the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families last year because we wanted to help families in need.” Besides charity events, Delia also pays great attention to youth dance groups. Devoted to the promotion and cultivation of break dance, which will become an Olympic sport in 2024, she hopes that she could support the athletes with concrete actions. “Because I love dancing and I can feel that everyone is full of dreams. They are doing this not just for the competition, but also for Taiwan, so I’m happy that I get to help them fulfill their dreams.”When asked if there is a charity event that left an impression on her, Delia replies that every event is different. “Because everyone has their own story to tell.” Even though she always reminds herself to be brave and not to cry, every time Delia arrives at these events and meets all the people, the stories she hears always bring tears to her eyes. There are simply too many emotions in life—both good and bad—and too many things that are out of our control. As she arrives at the end of each event, she asks herself: “Am I doing enough? What can I do next?” Not only bringing Delia happiness and positive energy, but these meaningful events are also making her cherish what she has. 

Recalling one of her visits to the Pediatric Cancer Center at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, specifically ward 92 and 93, Delia donated over a thousand sets of books and asked the kids about their dreams. “There was a junior high school girl who didn’t know who I was beforehand. She made a rather difficult wish; she wished for the limited edition BTS DVD.” Thanks to the help of her friends in Korea, not only did she get BTS to sign the DVD, but she also received a special video from the group to cheer the young girl on. 

Clarity and Acceptance 

Maintaining a healthy marriage is no easy task. When it comes to having a consensus on marriage, Delia says falling in love is easy, but getting along is difficult. “The most important thing is to have the dedication to solve the problems. It’s all about compromises and communication.” How do two different individuals learn to be considerate of each other? Or successfully find a balance between making compromises and standing your ground? These are all questions worth discussing. “In the end, it’s about two people.” Speaking of the qualities a mature partner should have, Delia smiles and says she believes there is no such thing as a mature partner. “Everyone has his or her own personality and that is hard to change. But there is nothing wrong about that because it’s human nature.” She believes it’s important to understand that we shouldn’t try to change other people. “We can try to communicate with them and learn to respect and accept them for who they are.” If we look at the world with an open heart and open mind, everything will be less complicated. While every married couple has their own way of communication, Delia shares that recently, Chairman Guo would send messages and LINE stickers to express his emotions and thoughts. “He tends to choose LINE stickers that are too cute for his age, which always makes me and my daughters laugh.” Simple but delightful, their cute interaction sure adds a touch of joyful romance to their busy schedule. 

Happiness is Limited 

In life, it’s unavoidable for us to go through ups and downs and encounter times when we feel exhausted. Of course, Delia is no exception, but she is someone who is good at adjusting. “I will always encourage myself and pick myself up with a positive mindset.” For her, the easiest way is through choosing the right friends. “Try to find yourself friends who are positive because we are often influenced by the people we are with.” Speaking of maintaining authenticity in her marriage, Delia says she always reminds herself that she is not Mrs. Guo, she is Delia Tseng. “I am still who I was before. I always tell myself, just because I’m Mrs. Guo, it doesn’t make me special. It only means that I have married a famous person, that’s all.” Her friend once told her she could have lived more luxuriously and she replied, “In life, having certain things is more than enough because there are so many hardworking people in this world. I think happiness is limited. If I choose to use it all up just like that, I’m afraid one day I’ll lose all of it. So cherish your happiness, and don’t waste it.” As a Scorpio known to be romantic and rational at the same time, Delia is always grateful for what she has. Staying safe and healthy is perhaps the most precious gift one can ever receive. When asked about her future plans, she hopes that she could make real change with her power. “Honestly I’ve never thought I would have the ability to help society. It wasn’t until the last few years that I realized I am capable of helping our society and the people around me.” As she continues her journey of life, I am certain that Delia will keep devoting herself to philanthropy and continue to spread her selfless love with elegant sophistication and absolute maturity.
