Over on Twitter where she has 5.6 million followers to date, Lea continues to espouse
causes dear to her heart, such as mental health awareness, children's rights, family planning and
support for the LGBTQ community. About the latter, she has said: "I have a half-brother who is
very, very, very gay, many cousins, best friends who are all members of the LGBT community,
and for me to not say anything would be hypocritical. There is a lot of prejudice."
Lea's views on most issues are liberal and humanitarian. On the personal front, her married life
with her husband of almost 20 years, Robert Chien, is happy and stable. The diva also dotes on
her only daughter, Nicole who is 16 and is also a budding singer.
