HK-born actor Chapman To celebrates 20th wedding anniversary with ex-TVB star Kristal Tin

The Star10-06-2025
Hong Kong-born Taiwanese actor Chapman To and former TVB star Kristal Tin recently marked their 20th wedding anniversary with an intimate gathering of close friends.
Among the guests was actor Anthony Wong, who made a special trip to Taiwan to join the pair in celebrating the milestone.
On June 7, To, 53, shared a throwback photo from his wedding to Tin, 47, surrounded by famous friends such as Andy Lau, Wong Jing and Shawn Yue – all of whom reportedly served as his groomsmen.
The couple tied the knot in June 2005 after six years of dating.
'Today, 20 years later, some people remain while others have moved on. I wish everyone happiness. To me, happiness means letting go of the past, not worrying about the future and simply embracing the present moment,' To captioned his Facebook post.
He also uploaded a photo with Anthony Wong on his Instagram Story, adding that the 63-year-old is the only groomsman he still keeps in touch with after all these years.
The actor then capped off the celebration by posting a short video of Tin talking about how he had transformed her life.
Meanwhile, Tin reflected on Instagram how her perception of the word 'tolerance' has evolved over the years.
The Brother's Keeper (2012) star admitted that she once perceived the term negatively, saying: 'Why do I have to tolerate things after marriage? Didn't we love each other so much that we couldn't help but be together in the first place?'
However, Tin shared that her perception has now shifted, and she views tolerance not as putting up with one's flaws but peacefully accepting them.
'Happy 20th anniversary. Please continue to give me your guidance in the future,' she wrote, alongside a photo with To and their dog.

Jolin Tsai denies she is back with actor Eddie Peng

Hong Kong's Sean Lau (L) and Taiwan's Eddie Peng conduct a press conference to promote Hong Kong movie Call Of Heroes. PHOTO: Compiled by FAZLEENA AZIZ, and R. ARAVINTHAN TAIWANESE pop star Jolin Tsai has denied rumours that she has rekindled her romance with actor Eddie Peng, but revealed she has frozen her eggs just in case she chooses to have children in the future. The 44-year-old was speaking at a meet-the-fans session and album preview, where she fielded several candid questions. 'I wasn't even aware of this rumour. How did it escalate to this point?' Tsai said, laughing off the speculation. China Press reported that speculation about the pair's reconciliation surfaced in 2019 when they were seen holding an orange rose in separate photos posted two days apart. During the event, Tsai said she is content whether single or in a relationship, and noted that many songs in her new album reflect a woman's perspective. This led to a discussion on fertility and egg-freezing. 'It's not about fear, but about reflecting on whether having children is something you want in this lifetime,' Tsai said, adding that the decline of fertility with age is a reality women face. When asked directly if she had frozen her eggs, she replied: 'Yes, but I don't have plans for children just yet.' Tsai and Peng reportedly dated in 2006 before parting ways in 2009. > A couple in Jilin, China, got an unpleasant surprise when they received a divorce certificate after successfully registering their marriage. The incident occurred at the Marriage Registration Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau in Changchun city, China Press reported. After completing the necessary paperwork, the couple was handed a red document, only to discover it was labelled 'Divorce Certificate'. The mix-up quickly became a trending topic on Chinese cyberspace after the couple shared the incident on social media. A spokesperson from the Marriage Registration Office later confirmed the error and apologised, explaining that an employee had mistakenly used a blank divorce certificate, as both types of documents are printed on red paper. 'We've corrected the mistake and issued the proper certificate,' the spokesperson said. (The above articles are compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).

HK lyricist Peter Lai, 75, wants a soulmate, says son treats him like a stranger

Hong Kong lyricist Peter Lai is on the lookout for a soulmate, with marriage in mind. Photo: China Press Hong Kong lyricist and actor Peter Lai recently opened up about his personal life, including his relationship with his son from a previous marriage that ended in 1992. In an interview with HK01, Lai, 75, described his son as someone who 'mooches off the elderly'. He revealed that he had spent over HK$100,000 (RM53,716) to fund the younger man's four-year Traditional Chinese Medicine studies in Nanjing – only for the latter to fail to graduate. 'He was just messing around. I'd bet 99% that's what happened, so he didn't graduate. It was a waste of time and money… But whatever, that's all in the past now,' he said. Despite the disappointment, Lai continued to help his son pay off his credit card debts over the past two years. He cleared the full amount last month. Lai then expressed frustration over his now 37-year-old son's lifestyle, saying the latter spends his days playing video games and rarely speaks to him. 'He doesn't even bother talking to me. We might as well be strangers,' he lamented. Given the circumstances, it's no surprise that Lai would feel lonely at times. He shared that he's now looking for a 'soulmate' and is openly putting himself out there, with marriage in mind. 'If Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?' he said. For context, Lee, 73, is a former TVB actor who made headlines in recent years for his relationship with his 37-year-old fiancee Chris Wong. When asked if he's concerned about his son's future after he's gone, Lai bluntly said his son can fend for himself. 'If I'm gone, he can sleep under a bridge. He's not going to die. He can just apply for public housing or something.' Lai is regarded as part of the pioneer generation of Cantopop lyricists in Hong Kong. He has written songs for some of the city's biggest stars – including Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam and more.

Although the 38-year-old stepped away from the spotlight following her marriage, she continues to share glimpses of her opulent lifestyle on social media. According to China Press , Sham recently went on a trip to Dunhuang, China, and the occasion was nothing short of lavish. In a social media post, the former TVB star revealed that she stayed at a three-storey villa costing around HK$12,000 (RM6,448) per night. The accommodation featured a private courtyard and swimming pool, all set against a scenic desert backdrop. 'The interior feels like you're walking into a gallery, with artworks displayed on the walls … The view of the desert from the rooftop is also beautiful,' she said in a video. To commemorate the trip, Sham even hired a professional photographer to capture glamorous shots of her in the desert, which she later shared on Instagram. Sham made headlines earlier in April after taking her husband and their two sons on a helicopter tour in Australia, which cost HK$10,000 (RM5,372) per person. The actress kickstarted her entertainment career in 2006 and is best known for her role in the 2007 drama Best Selling Secrets .
