Hong Kong media reported that Chinese actress Gong Li is
divorced from her Singaporean businessman husband, Oei Hoe
Seong.
A report from Lianhe Wanbao quoted Taiwan's Apple Daily which
reported the divorce after the press conference to promote Gong's
latest movie Shanghai, in Singapore ended on Thursday. It also said
that a close friend of the couple had confirmed their separation.
It quoted the anonymous friend: "They (Gong Li and her husband)
have been separated more than together all these years, and have
been going through divorce proceedings one year ago. The divorce is
amicable and they still remain friends."
However, Hong Kong's Apple Daily reported that the couple were
still married as of Thursday. It cited proof of the validity of
their marriage after an online check on Singapore's Registry of
Marriages. The Hong Kong tabloid speculated that the couple could
be on the verge of separation instead.
These reports have led Lianhe Wanbao to speculate if Gong Li's
comments that she stays in hotels whenever she is in Singapore to
be indicative of her separation from her husband.
Checks with Gong Li's manager, Zeng Jun Zhao, yielded little
confirmation. He evaded reporters' probes and said: "I have no idea
about what goes on in my artistes' personal lives. I don't know
what her marriage is like."
The reports also mentioned that Gong Li is currently staying in her
own home in Shandong. However, she is still fond of Singapore and
its people.
Ya, she was divorced one or two years ago. this old news
