Supermodel ties the knot six years after ex-beau's death
Compiled by FAZLEENA AZIZ AND C. ARUNO
SUPERMODEL Bella Su finally got married, six years after the death of her boyfriend and actor Godfrey Gao, China Press reported.
The 29-year-old held a low-key wedding in China's Yunnan province on June 17 and was photographed wearing a low-cut wedding gown.
Her husband's identity, however, remained a mystery as his face was always hidden behind an emoji on photographs posted online.
Although Su is in a new relationship, she kept Gao's memory alive at her wedding by featuring the sunflower, which was the late actor's favourite flower, as part of the reception's decoration.
'Love never disappears, but continues to thrive in a different form!' she said in her wedding speech in reference to Gao.
According to those who attended the wedding, it was the groom who decided on having a segment honouring Gao's memory during the reception.
It was reported that Gao, 35, who was a Taiwan-born Canadian model and actor, collapsed while filming a Chinese variety series in 2019.
He collapsed at around 2am on Nov 27, 2019, after filming for 17 hours that day and later failed to be resuscitated at a hospital.
After his death, Su revealed that she and Gao had been dating in secret.
She was seen attending his wake and funeral together with Gao's family.
Su met her husband two years ago while on a trip to Shanghai to visit her maternal grandmother.
They decided to get married this year.

Taiwanese girl group S.H.E reunite – for Hebe Tien's concert
Hebe Tien (centre) shared a photo with Ella Chen (left) and Selina Jen on social media on June 26. Photo: Hebe Tien/Instagram Taiwanese girl group S.H.E is back together, though only in support for member Hebe Tien's concert. Tien, 42, is on a Live In Life tour in Taiwan, where she is playing at small, scenic locations on the island. She performed at the Outdoor Theatre of National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts (Weiwuying) on June 21 and 22. The singer posted several throwback photos of her Kaohsiung shows on social media on June 26. They included one of her with bandmates Ella Chen, 44, and Selina Jen, 43. Both Chen and Jen wore the official white T-shirts of the concert. That photo drew the most number of 'likes' – more than 1,700 – on Facebook, compared with fewer than 400 for the other photos. Tien also posted photos of Chen and Jen entering the venue together. 'The city of Kaohsiung has added different stories to my life, and made me deeply understand the uncertainties of life,' Tien wrote in Chinese on June 26. 'It has also taught me to deeply cherish the daily life of being able to sing safely and healthily.' 'Thank you, Kaohsiung, for your acceptance and patience, and thank you to my sisters who have been loving and supporting me all the way, and to the friends who came and cheered for me. Kaohsiung is very hot, not just due to the temperature, but also due to everyone's passionate love,' she added. In September 2022, Tien had to postpone her concerts at Kaohsiung Arena for a week after she came down with a bad bout of flu. She then had to cancel her third and fourth shows due to safety concerns following an earthquake in south-eastern Taiwan. Formed in 2001, S.H.E left its long-time label HIM International Music in 2018, with the three singers setting up their own management agencies. They said they were not disbanding despite going solo. The group's last studio album was 2012's Blossomy . Tien released her fifth studio album, Time Will Tell , in 2020. It nabbed three awards at Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards in 2021, including for Best Female Singer (Mandarin). Meanwhile, Chen took part in reality shows such as Ride The Wind 2023 , where she emerged the winner, and acted in dramas such as Dr Lifesaver (2023 to 2024) and Us Without Sex (2024). She released her second studio album, Bad Habits , in 2024. Jen starred in her first horror movie Funeral (2022) and released her second mini-album, My Own Beauty , in 2022. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
