Raymond Lam Drowns Himself with Work After Karena Ng Split
In February 2013, Raymond Lam (林峯) confirmed his long-speculated relationship with his “BB”, Karena Ng (吳千語). Their relationship lasted for four solid years until December, when rumors of a split started spreading. Due to individual work commitments, Raymond and Karena found it hard to find time together. In her last interview, the 24-year-old actress told the press that she hasn’t seen Raymond in over two months. There is speculation that Karena has already found a new boyfriend—Brian Shi (施伯雄), grandson of real estate entrepreneur Shi Ziqing (施子清).
Back to the bachelor life, Raymond has been drowning himself with work. After ending his EEG contract and establishing his own personal studio, Raymond returned to Hong Kong to film EEG’s new web drama Police Tactical Unit <PTU機動部隊>. The actor has been spotted filming the show recently—despite the breakup rumors, the 38-year-old was in a good mood. When EEG’s chairman Albert Yeung (楊受成) stopped by to visit the set, Raymond took the time to greet him and talk to him.
Karena, on the other hand, is in Mainland China filming Chinese period drama Love on the Battlefield <戰地迷情>.
With an even busier schedule ahead, is Raymond using work to get over his breakup?

Should have been broken up earlier! Doesn’t match each other at all. Raymond..career comes first.
Well, if they are really broken up, I hope Raymond doesn’t go skirt chasing after another teenager. I will DEFINITELY judge him then.
@coralie
I think he will learn from this. Having a young girlfriend is fine but too young is a risk since they hadn’t seen much of the world yet.They will likely pursue that in the future at the expense of the older boyfriend…
@jimmyszeto there are a lot of young things happy to date older celebrities and some marry them too *cough Hannah Quinlivan*
age doesn’t mean they’re not potential life-long partners.
what it does mean, though, is that RL is a very immature uncle.
@coralie
With Raymond’s experience in dating I think he should have known that being with a 20 yr old is high risk. It is not necessary the age gap. If they started the relationship when she was 30 yrs old and he was 50 yrs old then it would have been likely that the woman is ready to settle down. Karena has literally just entered the entertainment business at the time and there was a lot for her to explore and opportunities to experience the love feeling from others. The Hannah Quinlivan marriage is a very rare occasion. Overall,of raymond and Karena, Karena should be currently the happier of the two from the enhancement of her status.
@jimmyszeto anyone can be a high risk; his previous ex Mavis Fan wasn’t as young as Karena when they dated, but it ended up being a worse scandal. though I agree, if he wants to maintain stability of a relationship, it’s better to go older than it is younger.
he doesn’t sound like the type to have a lot of time for his gfs anyway. I just went and dug up the old report about him & mavis. and from what mavis said, Raymond’s kinda too tired to do much most of the time when they’re together. that + distance + neglect will cause any relationship to collapse. he doesn’t sound ready to be in a steady relationship and accept his role in it.
@coralie
Won’t be too worried about him though. He will come good in the end….
jay chou’s wife is 13 years younger than him. karena is 14 years younger than raymond.
raymond has a rich father but he wants to prove he doesn’t need to depend on his daddy for a dime.
turbo mouth has a uncle boyfriend who has seen the world.
@janet72 you forgot Ruco Chan whose gf is 13 years younger. Perhaps a gf who is younger by upwards of 13 years is a status symbol to these men.
There are a lot of fickle young actresses who date these older, established actors/singers etc to gain traction in the ebiz world and then they trade them in for a younger, rich man. Karena is the perfect example. I never saw her marrying Raymond. She is at the point where most Chinese know who she is, so she can get a rich man, who is younger than Raymond, and so she did., nuff said
@bubbletea I actually thought they would last. unsavory age-difference aside, I thought karena was a very mature girl/woman. if they had spent more time together instead of apart and he gave her more attention, maybe they would’ve lasted forever. I can’t say if she has any gold-digging ambitions, but she has very high EQ from what I can tell in her interviews. High EQ doesn’t mean she’s not immature, however. Kenny bee’s ex-wife is also very polished, but her life is a mess. so color me wrong if it turns out she’s just a typical young thing with more impressive social skills
@coralie the age difference is not a factor for me, not even with Kevin and motor mouth Grace. I was hoping I was wrong about Raymond and Karen’s but there was that feeling that they would break up and Karena would find a younger man. I do think she was and is very mature about how she handled the negative publicity about her relationship. I remember the troll lambasting her and turning on lover boy Raymond for dating. The Troll can see if it can have Raymond now, lol. I also give her points for the way she dealt with the press about her love life. You never got the impression that her relationship with Raymond was her lifeline, nor did it define who she was as a person. That was very mature how she carried herself at her young age.
i don’t even know who karena is or jay chou’s wife before they dated their older other halves.
raymond is not that old, just that his girlfriend WAS much younger and wanted to enjoy his wealth. after a while of all the expensive handbags and holidays, these young girlfriends want attentive boyfriends at their beck and call.
Raymond waked up!! She’s using you for money and fame only. You can do better than that.
yup…actually all these young starlets are using these established actors for fame. for raymond, any starlet would want to get close to him because he is RICH.
