Speculations are swirling about the breakup of celebrity couple Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong, marking the end of their nine-year relationship, according to a report by China Press.

Although Tse and Wong have been fairly private about their personal lives, their purported split became a hot topic on Weibo, often referred to as China’s Twitter.

Unfortunately, none of the posts shared on Weibo disclosed the source of the news. With Tse engrossed in a film project and Wong enjoying a vacation, both remained silent on the speculation.

While Tse and Wong had previously dated from 2000 to 2002, the two went their separate ways. Wong later married actor-turned-businessman Li Yapeng in 2005 and they share a daughter, while Tse tied the knot with actress Cecilia Cheung in 2006 and they have two sons together.

However, both Tse and Wong divorced their respective partners in 2011 and 2013. In 2014, the two reconciled but have since maintained a low-key relationship away from the public eye.

The 41-year-old shared a photo of herself on a beach wearing a stylish checked one-piece swimsuit.

Playfully, she remarked, “A pregnant woman in a swimsuit might be too alluring. I fear it could make everyone’s nose bleed. So, I’ll settle for sharing a photo of my reflection instead.”

While expressing her nerves about giving birth, Jen expressed gratitude that everything was progressing smoothly in her pregnancy, emphasizing how lucky she felt to have her partner, Xu, who is not a public figure, in her life. She referred to their child as a gift from God.

Jen, a member of the Taiwanese all-girl group S.H.E., had previously divorced lawyer Richard Chang in 2016.
