Hong Kong singer-actress Gigi Leung announced her split
from French boyfriend, Sly, of four years on her blog.
After four years of blissful courtship, Hong Kong Cantopop
singer Gigi Leung announced her split from French designer
boyfriend, Sly, on her blog a few days ago. She subtly hinted that
their relationship was met with severe disapproval from her
mother.
"After talking about things in a positive manner, we decided
that we won't be lovers anymore. But we'll be a pair of even better
friends," she wrote on her blog.
The 34-year-old broke up with fellow Hong Kong singer-actor Ekin
Cheng in 2006 and subsequently got together with Sly the very same
year. They announced their intentions to get married in Paris this
year and even visited Gigi's mother together last year.
Gigi once openly expressed that her parents are unable to accept
her foreigner-boyfriend and that created a lot of unhappiness for
Sly. Caught in the middle of her loved ones and lover, the songbird
attempted to bridge the gap between both parties and bought her
mother an apartment in her housing estate.
Despite their efforts, Gigi's mother remained adamant and
disapproved of their relationship. That was the last straw and Sly
initiated for a breakup.
Although they have since gone separate ways, Gigi revealed that
they have been "meeting up every week" and still remain supportive
of each other.
She says, "I have always loved and cherish my family, I hope
that everyone can live closer together since it'll be easier to
take care of each other. They will soon be moving out. There are
some true and untrue reports circulating around. I'm using my blog
to reply to these queries. Thanks for the concern."
When reporters interviewed Cherrie Ying, a bosom pal of Gigi's,
for her opinion on this matter, the latter replied, "It's a private
matter of a good friend, I will not comment on this."
