Maggie Shiu to wed ahead of ex-beau

The Hong Kong actress will reportedly tie the knot with her boyfriend in March next year

Forty-seven-year-old Maggie Shiu's love life had been lacklustre since ending her relationship with Ekin Cheng in 1999. Things changed when she met Chinese martial arts star Vincent Sze while filming Johnnie To's Tactical Unit: Comrades in Arms in 2008.
Following Ekin's confirmation that he would be marrying current girlfriend Yoyo Mung next year, rumours sprang that Maggie is planning to tie the knot before her ex-beau. The wedding is rumoured to be held next March at Bethanie Chapel in Hong Kong.

Due to the 9-year age difference, Maggie and Vincent maintained a low profile on their May-December romance. Though their relationship came to light last year, the two had unanimously refuted the claims and referred to each other as '˜good friends'.

Ekin Cheng and Yoyo Mung got married secretly?

Following Ekin Cheng's recent successful proposal to Yoyo Mung, his girlfriend of six years, the Hong Kong actor-singer confirmed in an interview that the wedding date will be "scheduled sometime in early 2013".

However, sources believe that the couple threw a top-secret wedding celebration during a recent trip to Fukuoka, Japan. As Ekin and Yoyo constantly emphasised their desire to hold a "simple" and impromptu" wedding, it is believed that the unpredictable pair got married in Japan last Friday. Their family was also present to witness the joyous occasion.

So did they say "I do" in Japan or was it a pre-honeymoon holiday for Ekin and Yoyo?
Ekin's good friend, film producer Wilson Chin, was unclear about the secret wedding and said, "I only knew they went for a holiday."
The 45-year-old's manager, Sandy Lamb also confirmed news of the duo', but doubted that they would get married in Japan.
"If they were to get married, it will be in Beijing instead!" Sandy laughed.

Ekin Cheng and YoYo Mung to wed on Dec 21?

The pair is rumoured to tie the knot at the end of the year, with Ekin Cheng's "band of brothers" set to be his best men

Hong Kong stars Ekin Cheng and YoYo Mung have been in a long-running relationship for six years and wedding bells might ring for the couple soon.
Ekin, 44, who prefers to keep his personal life on a low-key note, recently announced his intention to marry girlfriend YoYo Mung next year at a post-concert party. However, don't take his word for it. His announcement was meant to be a smokescreen as sources revealed that the wedding has long been confirmed to take place on Dec 21 this year.
It is reported that the couple plans to hold a 50-table banquet on their wedding day with Ekin's "band of brothers" consisting of actors Michael Tse and Jerry Lamb are set to be his best men. Wedding preparations are said to be under way at the moment.

Yoyo Mung burns fingers in stock market

The Hong Kong actress was said to have lost millions in the stock market, forcing Ekin Cheng to help her with his hard-earned savings

Plagued with rumours and gossips, actress Yoyo Mung's five-year relationship with actor Ekin Cheng has never been a smooth-sailing ride.

Earlier this month, when Gigi Leung -- Ekin's former girlfriend -- tied the knot with her Spanish boyfriend, Yoyo left the former a congratulatory message, only to be called 'pretentious' by the netizens.

To add on to the bad publicity, Yoyo was also rumoured to be a chronic gambler who recently lost millions of dollars when the stock market crashed.

"[Yoyo] managed to make a profit from the stock market in the past few years. The amount of her investments got bigger and she started to dabble in the Futures Market. In 2008, it was already reported that she lost HKS$800,000 (SGD$125,000)! I heard she lost millions when the recent market crashed!" an insider said.

When Hong Kong media conducted a background check based on the info provided, they discovered that Yoyo lost her margins in 2008 and went around raising money for her debts. The episode eventually ended with Ekin using his savings to pay for her losses.

Following her change to a project-basis contract with TVB last year, Yoyo's workload has been drastically reduced.

Since September 2006 when Yoyo Mung and Ekin Cheng were spotted playing badminton together, the "Mung-Mean("face") Love" started. Ever since, Ekin had always maintained their relationship low-key. Yesterday, Ekin accepted "Mingpao Weekly" interview and happily opened his heart to talk about the topic of relationships, even about marriage. He says: "Before I felt that I won't get married, but now I really want to. Thinking should I really do it?"

Ekin admits that he sees Yoyo as his marriage partner: "Everyone knows that I have dated several times.... each time I would think of my partner as someone who I didn't choose wrongly." Asked if Ekin has plans for marriage? He said: "Some things we have to take it slowly! (Like what?) Many things, sometimes personal, sometimes work related. I want to first focus on those things."

About the marriage age, he does not have a specific age, but does know that he won't be having kids. "I have never thought about having kids! Not that I have financial difficulties, but I don't want my child to deal with the atmosphere and the stress in society. (Does your girlfriend think the same?) I believe that she has the same idea as me."

Asked about his ideal marriage, would it be like good friend Charlene Choi's secret marriage and no announcement? He said: "I feel that marriage is something really personal. Ah Sa's way of handling it is not an issue, marriage is her business. You can criticize her in terms of work, but you have no right to criticize if she's married or not. For me, I don't mind, I could announce it."

Shermon Tang has a broken nose, needing 10 stitches

Kevin Cheng, Yoyo Mung and Shermon Tang were filming a wedding scene in TVB up coming new series "Only You" yesterday. Shermon dressed up as an Indian beauty, but she has a plaster on her left nose. Shermon disclosed that two nights ago when she was doing the water activity, someone accidentally broke her nose. She had 10 stitches as a result. The doctor advised her to take one to two months off work, but the wedding scene for the series is very important, she couldn't take any time off work. Yoyo and Kevin revealed that Indian wedding is very interesting. Yoyo said she won't marry an Indian because the bride has to pay a lot of dowry to the groom's side. On the contrary, Chinese bride gets trousseau from the groom's family. Kevin said "There is no nationality boundary when choosing partner as long as there is compatibility. I was dating a foreigner when I was in Canada."

Yoyo said she yearns for farm life and hopes to be gardening and planting when she grows old.

In addition, Yoyo revealed that earlier when she was at her friend's place cooking she accidentally cut her finger and hurriedly went to the Emergency Room: "When they looked at the wound there wasn't any blood so they just put on a bandage and that cost $700!" Asked if she is busy practicing to become a good wife, Yoyo said: "No, I am allergic to MSG and cooking by myself is more healthy!" As for whether she will go to Ekin's place to 拜年 (bai nian/pay a courtesy call during Chinese New Year), Yoyo cleverly said: "I will try to go to all my friends' place to "bai nian", also I love to eat 年糕 (nian gao/sticky rice cake) and won't be polite at other people's place."
