HONG KONG - Blame it on work, not a third party.
That is the reason given for Hong Kong's celebrity couple Ekin
Cheng and Gigi Leung to end their seven-year romance.
Cheng, 39, revealed on Friday that he had moved out of her
apartment.
Leung's manager Chiang Shing Chun told the Hong Kong press that the
couple had drifted apart because of her busy schedule.
Mr Chiang said she had requested for a lighter workload 'but
there's no way' to reduce that, so Leung 'finally made the painful
decision to call it quits'.
Cheng and actress Maggie Siu used to be an item before Leung, 30,
came into the picture.
Then, rumours were rife that Leung was the third party who had come
between them.
But Mr Chiang said that 'when Leung got together with Cheng, he had
already broken up with Siu. Leung was seen as the culprit for
breaking them up because Cheng did not explain that to the
public'.
Leung has penned a note on her record company Warner Music's
website announcing the break-up.
Cheng's manager said he will comment on the break-up in a press
conference today.
