After Sire Ma (馬賽) denied allegations that she is currently dating mainland businesswoman, Wang Ziqi (汪子琦), photos surfaced of the lovers kissing in Shanghai. The photos showed the women locked in a passionate kiss on the lips, clearly indicating that they were more than friends. Since jump-starting her entertainment career by entering the 2008 Miss Hong Kong pageant, Sire has kept a relatively low-profile in her private life. She once expressed admiration towards Ron Ng (吳卓羲), who clearly said that Sire was “not his cup of tea”. Sire has also been linked with costars, Adrian Chau (周志文) and Jason Chan (陳智燊), but the two actors reportedly have steady girlfriends. Sire reportedly changed her dating preferences after meeting Wang Ziqi. Rumors claimed that Ziqi, who possessed a lucrative film and beauty business, had referred to Sire as “her woman”. Sire had taken a two-month vacation from her TVB work schedule to spend more time with Ziqi. They traveled to France, Italy, and Switzerland while accompanied by another friend. Ziqi had paid for Sire’s entire vacation expenses. Unable to contain their happiness, Sire and Ziqi shared their exuberant travel photos on Weibo. Today, photos emerged in which a smiling Sire and Ziqi kissed passionately on the streets of Shanghai. Last week, Sire had requested time off from TVB to visit Ziqi in mainland China. Dabbling in film production, Ziqi promised to star Sire in an upcoming movie and introduced her to numerous mainland directors. Asked to comment on dating Wang Ziqi, Sire coolly replied, “There was another friend on the trip. Many reports are quoted out of context. Time will show what type of person I am. As to what happened, time will let everyone know.” However, she admitted that she possessed lesbian friends and that “they deserve respect”. Asked why she did not make further clarifications, Sire said, “I don’t want to comment because the published reports are often not the truth. I don’t want there to [be more] fabricated news.” Other than dating Sire Ma, Wang Ziqi made headlines in 2009 when she released evidence of Frankie Lam (林文龍) cheating on wife Kenix Kwok (郭可盈) with mainland actress, Vicki Dong. As Kenix’s former mainland manager, Ziqi had confidential insight into Kenix’s marriage and was implicated in the scandal. Ziqi was subsequently charged with extortion and entered prison. After leaving prison, Ziqi continued to mix socially with celebrities and became a successful entrepreneur. Creds: Ming Pao
