Hong Kong singer Leon Lai and model Gaile Lok have decided to take a stand against rumour mongers. The couple who tied the knot in 2008, was recently hounded by rumours that they are facing a marital crisis. There were even speculations that Gaile had moved out of their marital home and that Leon was involved with actress Zhang Ziyi. A few days ago, Ziyi released a statement, saying that she decided to break her silence, so as to protect her image as an artiste. She expressed that she will reserve the right to take legal action against those who published the rumours. Her move received support and compliments from netizens worldwide. Yesterday, Leon and Gaile also released a joint statement through their management agencies, proving that their love is still going strong. According to the statement, the recent rumours of a marriage breakdown between the couple were "absurd and unnecessary". They expressed that "some tabloids published baseless reports which served as a personal attack at Leon" and claimed that the rumours had "posed unnecessary inconveniences" to the couple. The statement added that a legal firm has been engaged to look into the matter and action will be taken against "the media who were responsible for the reckless reports regarding Leon and Gaile's marriage". Leon and Gaile's marriage is reportedly going well and the couple is still as loving as before. Rumours of a split are believed to have started because Leon had been busy with the preparations for his concert in December. Creds: xinmsn
