Separation Due to Incompatible Personalities
Aaron is from Canada, he used to be a singer and is considered a Seun Poon. His family lives in a Manhattan mansion, his father is a businessman in the textile industry and currently owns over ten properties. It is estimated Aaron's family assets about HK$200 million. However, after marriage Toby didn't live as a wealthy wife, instead she insisted on starting her own wedding planner business and was getting busier and busier. Aaron was also frequently flying all over the place for business trips, the couple had little time to see each other and eventually led to the last straw -- separation.
Toby frankly admitted to the separation and explained when she and Aaron discovered problems in their relationship, they tried hard to find a resolution, but unfortunately there was no way to patch up their relationship. In the end, the two decided to separate peacefully. "It has been 8 months since our separation. The primary cause was our incompatible personalities. I have already moved back with my father and we rented out the Clear Water Bay property. Actually thinking back now, our decision to get married was implusive. We met less than a year, and he already proposed and we got married. We didn't get to know each other well enough before deciding to tie the knot and now we're separated because of incompatible personalities."
No Third Party
Toby stressed to the media their separation was not because of a third party. She and Aaron maintain a good friendship. As their marriage was only a little over a year, Toby also felt it was a pity: "But my parents and friends knew. They understand and support my decision. (Was it because of the rumors you had before?) All of my rumors were due to work. Aaron understood that." Toby and Aaron were financially independent all along, so she's able to live on her own and did not request alimony from Aaron.
Toby had always had plans to have children, she frankly expressed she's been influenced by her family. Her elder sister has two kids and she personally loves children too. "Its unfortunate Aaron and I couldn't be together until the end, thus this plan wasn't fulfilled."
After the separation, Toby didn't bury herself away, instead on the fourth day of Chinese New Year, she generously went out for dinner in Kowloon City with ex-husband Aaron and her parents. The former couple proved to everyone they're still on good terms and are good friends. Toby was seen walking into the hotpot restaurant together. Aaron expressed they frequently meet up for dinner and still have a good relationship. Asked if there is a chance they'll get back together? Toby said: "I'm not going to discuss the future!" Aaron thanked the media for their concern.
Tommy Leung: Can't Help Them If They Aren't Compatible
Tommy Leung accepted an interview and expressed he felt sad to see his daughter Toby and Aaron divorce, but he understood young people have their own style in handling relationships. The only thing he could do is just accept the fact. He said: "As a parent, how could I not be worried about my child's marriage. I've met my son-in-law to talk about it before and reminded them that a husband and wife should mutually accommodate one another. Unfortunately, the two began to realize their personalities and lifestyles don't match. Well, there's no other choice then! (Their divorce was because they were too busy?) My son-in-law is usually in Mainland because of his business and my daughter also has her own business! My daughter moved back with me, but sometimes when its too late, she's afraid of disturbing my wife and I, so she rented another place too."
