TVB Entertainment News

Since Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and Yang Mi (杨幂) announced their divorce last year, he has kept a low profile and hasn’t had any dating rumors. The times paparazzi have spotted Hawick Lau was when he was either shopping for his daughter or picking her up from school. Yang Mi, on the other hand, has been involved in dating rumors a few times already.

It looks like it’s Hawick Lau’s turn to get involved in dating rumors. According to Hong Kong news outlet, Next Media, they claim Hawick Lau is secretly dating TVB actress, Roxanne Tong (湯洛雯), 13 years his junior, after being setup by Rosina Lam (林夏薇) at a gathering at her place earlier this year. Next Media says they don’t want to reveal their relationship because his divorce is still fresh and wants to maintain his image.


The reports continue saying Hawick Lau traveled with Roxanne Tong to England and France in May. Rosina Lam and Roxanne Tong became good friends after starring in the series, “Daddy Cool” (逆緣). The reports claim Rosina Lam lent her Victoria Peak mansion for them to use as a love nest and arranged a car to pick them up. Next Media also says Hawick Lau would pick up Roxanne Tong to go on dates in Shenzhen as he is always working in the mainland.

Reading all this already sounds so bizarre. There aren’t any interactions between the two. At Rosina Lam’s birthday gathering in July, Roxanne Tong wasn’t present either. When Sina Entertainment reached out to Hawick Lau’s team about the dating rumors, a staff member expressed, “Fake, completely fabricated.” No word from Roxanne Tong yet, but it probably won’t be needed as this dating rumor is just not plausible.

After years of marriage discord and divorce rumors, Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and Yang Mi (楊冪) have finally announced their divorce in an official statement today. The two got married in 2014 and had a daughter, Noemie, in June of the same year. The divorce rumors were especially rampant this year when the two former couple’s online interactions were reduced. Not only that, Yang Mi had posted a picture of only herself during Mid-Autumn festival, making many question why Hawick Lau and Noemie were missing.

The official statement says:

“Thank you to everyone for your love and support for Hawick Lau and Yang Mi. Through both parties careful consideration, they have decided to relay the following message through our management company: The couple have already signed the divorce papers, amicably splitting up this year and ending their marriage.

This decision was carefully considered with respect by both parties. Although they won’t be living together as a married couple anymore, both parties will take on the role as a family member to take care and raise their child together. At the same time, they will wish well of each other’s future as friends.

Both artists used the media’s public resources for their own personal affairs, troubling everyone. For this, we extend our sincerest apologies. At the same time, in order to protect the child and both families, after this statement is public, both parties will no longer respond to this matter. We hope the media and the public will respect their wishes and give them their own space. Please don’t bother their child or either party’s families.

Once again, thanks to the media and the public for their concern, support, and love. The both of them will continue to work hard and live well. Thanks!”

Three days ago on Weibo, Hawick urges the public not to speculate: "I hope everyone will not speculate. I know it is hard for the reporters to do OT during Lunar New Year and hope you will publish my full explanation if you are going to report it. I used to say coming back and return already and that situation forbids me to stay longer without much consideration. Subsequently, the reporter from the magazine calls my father and we reply that coming back and spending vacation together. Celebrating Lunar New Year is family affair and please stop using it as publicity. Happy new year and hope everyone has an enjoyable time!"

Chinese actresses, Vicki Zhao (趙薇) and Yang Mi's (楊冪) careers are at the peak and arrange their daughters to study in an international school in Hong Kong, Although the school reopens in 1st September, but the international schools have already started a few days ago. Although Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and his wife, Yang Mi seldom appear in public together, but it is obvious that they dote on their 3 years old daughter very much. They are taken photos of attending school activity together with their daughter in kindergarten this March in order to provide a peaceful environment and plan to enrol her to study in an international school as well.

At 7am on 1st September, Hawick wears a cap and leaves his apartment with his mother from Mid-Levels to an international school in Hong Kong Island by a 7-seater vehicle. He carries his daughter into the school upon alighting from the car and she looks very cute in her yellow sports attire. Hawick comes out around 10.30 and carries his daughter into the car and the chauffeur drives her home. Based on understanding, Yang Mi is currently filming series in China and cannot take care of her daughter.

Hawick accepts an interview from ON.CC (東網) and asking about his daughter's mood, he says: "She is definitely happy as get to know many friends and play together. The school starts around 1 week ago and she is getting used to it. (Your wife is working and cannot take care of her daughter?) She needs to work but she will bring her daughter to school whenever she is free."

Hawick makes fun of Damian about his standard of Mandarin and he loves to play around: "I will make fun of his Mandarin at times and please do not assume Damian always looks serious. In fact, he likes to play around."

Asking if he will watch his wife, Yang Mi's (楊冪) workpiece and vice-versa, Hawick replies he will watch her series: "I did watch Once Upon a Time (三生三世) series but not completely as I prefer watching series all at once. Hence, I do not have time to watch the series so far."

Hawick Lau (劉愷威) was dressed in black with black caps and mask and behaved low profile at the airport alone on 14 April. When asked about his destination, he said: "Promotion." Mentioning about zero interaction with his wife, Yang Mi (楊冪) during his daughter's sports session at the school earlier and if his daughter missed them as both travelled overseas frequently, Hawick rejected to reply, remain in silence and walk towards the departure hall.

Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and Yang Mi (楊冪) have been working separately for a long time after married and marriage crisis has been circulating in the recent years. Both deny it as they did chat on the phone daily and feel it is unnecessary to explain to the public.

On 27 January, Yang Mi appears at Beijing airport and it turns out that she places her work aside and celebrates Lunar New Year with Hawick in Hong Kong. On 29 January, some netizens discovered Hawick and Yang Mi wore caps and brought toys for their daughter at a famous toys shop. They are indeed good parent.

Marriage crisis between Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and Yang Mi (楊冪) has been circulating and both do not really clarify it until now. Lately, some netizens pointed that they saw Hawick and his mother were shopping in Hong Kong and Hawick was full of fatherly love when carrying his daughter, but Yang Mi was nowhere in sight.

Today is Hawick and Yang Mi's third year wedding anniversary and it is unsure if they will be celebrating, as Yang Mi was filming the series, Tan Pan Guan (談判官) with Tao (黃子韜) in Shanghai on 7 January. Yesterday on Weibo, Yang Mi only commented about the skincare products and did not mention her wedding anniversary: "New beginning in 2017 and here are the photos you want!"

Hawick and I are filming partners only." She also denied about marriage gossip and said: "I am not married before. Zhang Ge (張戈) did propose to me during a wedding banquet but we did not end up together. We took bridal photo shoot for advertisement and broke up long ago. Hope everyone will not disturb him."

As Hawick Lau (劉愷威) was pointed to have close relationship with Angel Wang (王鷗), he denied it and commented it was amusing. Yang Mi defended her husband by saying that he will have her full trust no matter what happened. On 09 November, Hawick's work studio released a lawyer letter, emphasised Hawick and Angel were colleagues only and pursued the legal rights all the way. Yang Mi (楊冪) left a message to support Hawick: "Law protection, let's pursue it all the way!" However, the paparazzi from China will release more explosive details today and let's wait and see!

Yang Mi (楊冪) has been working continuously even after married and given birth. A few days ago, she went to Hong Kong to celebrate her daughter's birthday for one day but her husband, Hawick Lau (劉愷威) did not hold her hand when fetching her at Hong Kong Airport. Hence, many netizens suspected they were having relationship problem.

In fact other than filming drama and taking care of his daughter, Hawick also visited Yang Mi during filming and it showed a sweet video clip of them on the Internet not long ago. Yang Mi was filming Les Interprètes (翻譯官) drama at that time and Hawick turned out in low-key manner in order not to disturb the filming progress. In the video, both looked at each other in loving way and they resembled a couple who dated not long ago. As the series achieved high ratings, they were planning to film sequel.

Also, Yang Mi was taken photograph of filming in Changsha and showing her long legs at the airport. It turned out that she was filming Happy Camp (快樂大本營) show.

Learning French language for the role

During the press conference, the on-screen couple played with French words games and when Yang Mi was asked about her love perspective, she said: "Two people can grow up together and become each other experience in order to have a good relationship." As the drama came from a novel, they went for location shooting in France and other country. Yang Mi also learned French language for the role and was quite professional.

Gave her blessings to Wallace Huo and Ruby Lin

As Yang Mi and her husband, Hawick Lau (劉愷威) were busy working and seldom spent time together, hence rumours relating to marriage crisis begun to widespread.

Thus, Yang Mi decided to discuss about her marriage life during the press conference and say: "Our relationship is very stable now and thank you for your concern." As she worked with Wallace Huo (霍建華) before, Yang Mi also gave her blessings to Ruby Lin (林心如) and him.

Although his daughter in-law had been working in Mainland China and spent less time with her daughter, but his son, Hawick Lau (劉愷威) will be returning to Hong Kong for a short break. Lau Dan said: "The daughter does not get to celebrate Mother's Day with her mother but able to celebrate Father's Day with her dad in June. (Is your daughter in-law mad over the rumour related to marriage crisis?) Yes, they have released the letter from lawyer and let's wait for the company to handle. Fortunately, they are buddhist and handle the matter peacefully."

Lau Dan (劉丹) attended an event, (EYT2016好友會聯歡晚宴) in Tsim Sha Tsui and almost 2 hundreds of cast and crew teams members of TVB classic variety show, Enjoy Yourself Tonight (歡樂今宵) turned up.

Witnessed his son and Yang Mi had good relationship

When mentioned about his son, Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and Yang Mi (楊冪) seldom spent time together and the rumour of their marriage crisis was circulating, Lau Dan replied he was very mad and denied it: "Previously, someone asked me over the phone and I almost spoke vulgarity. It is very irritating and the rumour started soon after they got married. (They have good relationship?) Yes and they are pursuing legal actions now. The opposite party must apologise after suing and is there any meaning for doing it? Anyway, it is overboard."

Hawick Lau (劉愷威) and Yang Mi (楊冪) were married in year 2014 and have a baby daughter, but their workload remain heavy. Recently, it is rumoured that they are having a marriage crisis but Hawick denied about it a few days ago.

The letter stated that the account user on Weibo released fake news and it continued to circulate around despite clarifying it several times. As a result, it damaged the reputation, image and normal lives of Hawick and Yang Mi. Many netizens showed their supports for them as well.

Earlier in the month, Yang Mi (杨幂) gave birth to a baby girl (nicknamed Sticky Rice (小嬬米)). Today is the day Hawick Lau (刘凯威) celebrates Father's Day as a father himself for the first time. Since it is a meaningful event, Yang Mi posted a photo of the father holding his daughter on Weibo and wrote "First father's day, I wish every fathers in the world a happy father's day, and also a peaceful and healthy life." In the photo, Hawick's eyes were fixed on his baby girl. Even though he didn't look into the camera, his expression was filled with blessed joy. How will the family of three celebrate Father's Day together?

After awhile, Hawick goes on Weibo and expresses to Yang Mi "I thank your mom for bringing you into my world! Mother Mi, you worked hard, Little Mi, daddy misses you!" This father seems inseparable from his daughter.

Today it is Hawick Lau and Yang Mi's big wedding day. Yesterday Hawick and his family appeared at the airport ready to take off to the Bali island for the wedding ceremony. Hawick and Yang Mi were ten fingers interlocked the entire time.

When asked about their wedding guests? He expressed: "Majority are my colleagues, classmates and family. We didn't invite friends from the industry because its hard to match the schedules for so many people. I don't want to trouble anybody. (Hold a wedding banquet in HK?)

Actually its fun to go on vacation with a group of friends, we'll be in Bali for three days, then we have to get back to Mainland for work."

It had been widely rumored Yang Mi is pregnant, Hawick had a big reaction when heard this: "Hahaha...ah...hahaha... I'll let you all know when there is good news!"

Hahaha... talk about that when we do have one!" Does Hawick like to have a boy or a girl? He said: "Hahaha." But he admitted he and Yang Mi are prepared to have children.
