Mr. and Mrs. Yu is now history. Annie Yi announced her
divorce with Harlem Yu last Friday through her management company
in China, HB Stars.
The release in Chinese stated: I, Annie Yi, has signed a divorce
agreement with Harlem Yu, and ended our marriage relationship. I
hope our families can enjoy peace again.
The release did not mention about their only son's custodian
rights. However, Yi's godfather Xia Yushun revealed recently that
the seven-year-old boy would remain in the custody of the Yu family
while Yi enjoyed access rights. Yu denied this and said that they
have not received official notice on their son's custody.
When reporters called up Yi's Taiwan manager Ren Yueqin, she
said she did not receive notification on the release.
Yi and Yu were married in Los Angeles, United States, on Feb 14,
2000, and gave birth to their son two years later on Mar 16 also in
the States. From almost a decade of courtship to their nine years
of marriage, Yi has reportedly been in several other affairs though
Yu had always trusted her.
On Nov 12 last year, the photo that showed Yi holding hands with
male artiste Victor Huang in China was exposed on the Internet.
Though Yi and Huang did not admit to the scandal, with photos as
evidence, Yi and Yu's marriage still broke up.
During Chinese New Year this year, news of their divorce
agreement broke out after the family of three went for a holiday at
Hokkaido where the two adults took the chance to work out the
marriage. According to sources, Yu still has feelings for Yi and
was in an emotional struggle when he decides on a divorce.
Mid November last year, Yi once expressed that she will respect
Yu's decision and status on their marriage will be based the
latter's official statement.
However, on Mar 6 this year, Yi had already hinted their break
up on her blog in a post titled "One Man's Journey": Without
relying on anyone, [I will] live life to its fullest, face the
future by myself with courage and no fear. And now that she sends
out a release on Mar 20 to announce their divorce before Yu does,
the Taiwan media found Yi going against her earlier promise.
I DID IT WITH A CONTROL + V.
