The public was shocked after Joey Yung (容祖兒) and Wilfred Lau’s (劉浩龍) new romance was exposed. Rumored to be an ex-lover of both Joey and Wilfred, Denise Ho (何韻詩) felt betrayed. Yesterday, a rare photo of Joey and Denise sharing their “last embrace” circulated furiously on Facebook. More details of Joey and Denise’s former relationship were unfolding…. Joey Yung and Denise Ho’s romantic relationship has been a known secret for the last 5 years. Although the “good friends” often spoke highly of each other in interviews, Joey and Denise never publicly admitted that they dated each other. Oriental Daily reported that Joey and Denise may have broken up at the end of last year, with Denise currently romantically linked with Taiwanese actress, Deng Jiuyun (鄧九雲). According to Ming Pao, Denise focused on developing her career in Taiwan and mainland China, appearing in theatrical productions such as Jia Bao Yu <賈寶玉> in recent months. As Denise spent less time in Hong Kong, the emotional distance between Denise and Joey increased. The days when the two women confided their greatest secrets in each other grew rarer. Joey Sad While Embracing Denise for the Last Time Yesterday, top secret photos of Joey and Denise in a “last embrace” leaked on Facebook. Joey appeared to be in grief, with the photo eliciting bittersweet feelings since the couple’s romance was now in the past tense. In February, Joey watched Denise perform in Jia Bao Yu and visited her backstage after the musical performance. Denise quickly engulfed Joey in a deep hug. It was understood that Joey and Denise have already broken up at that point. Wilfred Lau: An Insensitive Lover? Wilfred Lau’s high profile declaration, “I like Joey!” and admission that he was dating the 32-year-old singing sensation has resulted in a strong backlash. Fans blasted Wilfred for his insensitivity in revealing the budding romance at such an early stage. Some questioned whether he possessed ulterior motives of self-publicity. Wilfred’s remarks hurt Denise deeply and put Joey in an awkward position. EEG owner, Albert Yeung (楊受成), wondered whether Wilfred was trustworthy and that Joey may be hurt in the relationship. What may have been good news of two people finding love quickly became a public scolding drama. The financial gap between Joey, with assets of $300 million HKD, and Wilfred was too wide. Allegedly, many of Joey’s friends did not have a good outlook towards Joey and Wilfred as a couple. Their friends were unaware that there was a new budding romance, assuming that Wilfred had only stepped in to look after Joey while Denise was in Taiwan. Aside from the shock in Joey and Wilfred’s relationship, the perception was that Wilfred had “stolen” Joey from Denise. Thus, Wilfred was quick to point out that when he and Joey started dating, both of them were single. Wilfred clearly implied that no cheating had occurred in the Wilfred-Joey-Denise love triangle. Since Wilfred’s love declaration, he has reportedly not seen Joey for an entire week. Placing great importance upon her career, it was rumored that Joey will observe the relationship, ready to end it at any time if necessary.
