Blake Abbie was one of the six Asians/Asian Americans who joined Dorothy Wang for the spinoff Bling Empire: New York in 2023. Being the only gender-fluid cast, identifying as queer, he instantly caught the viewers’ attention.
But we aren’t here to talk about the Bling Empire star today. Rather this article explores everything there is to know about Blake’s parents.
Who Are Bling Empire Star Blake Abbie Parents?
Blake Abbie was born to his parents, June Wong Abbie and Robert Abbie. They welcomed him on October 30, 1990, in Montreal, Canada, and raised him in Vancouver.

Looking back, Blake initially studied music at the University of British Columbia. But while there, he began working simultaneously in fashion and soon after moved to London and became part of the founding team of the industry-breaking System magazine and he never looked back.
In 2023, he even went on to be one of the casts on Bling Empire: New York. But that wasn’t his first time on TV. He was also cast for the role of “Thomas” in the Chinese version of Meteor Garden, a popular TV franchise. The Netflix/Hunan TV coproduction garnered five billion views in the two months of release just in China alone.

You might have also seen June on Bling Empire when she reaffirms her love for his son, regardless of his queer identity.
“In the show, my mom came to visit me in New York and we have a conversation. It was nice to clarify things with them. For me, I never had a coming-out moment. I date whoever I want and my family never questioned that as long as I have love and support. My mom wants me to have a family but I don’t think she’s so concerned for me to have a traditional Chinese family,” Abbie said later.
