Sonija Kwok denies marital woe with husband
28 Jul - Sonija Kwok was shocked and flabbergasted after a new rumour has emerged that she and husband Zhu Shaojie are no longer together. The whole issue started with a video she shared on social media, where she and her daughter Kylie went on a holiday to Maldives together without her husband. She wrote, "It's time to get moving and go see the world. I was in Maldives last year at this time. Our destination is Vietnam this year. Btw, happy birthday to me." The absence of Zhu had since sparked a speculation among fans that the two have ended their marriage. Sonija immediately released a response on Instagram, writing, "Thank you all for your concern. Never thought of a mum and daughter adventure would lead to rumours. My husband's movie in the mainland is in full swing, and it's really impossible [for him] to find time to leave and come with us." "My daughter and I both understand and thank my husband for his hard work so we can travel, eat, drink and have fun," she added. Looks like Sonija and Kylie had a wonderful mother-daughter quality and bonding time on their holiday: View this post on Instagram A post shared by 郭羡妮 (@sonijakk) (Photo Source: Sonija IG)
