Carlos Chan Cries Over Breakup with Jennifer Yu
Finding fame after TVB’s Daddy Cool <逆緣>, 31-year-old Carlos Chan (陳家樂) had revealed plans to eventually marry 24-year-old actress, Jennifer Yu (余香凝). Shockingly, breakup reports emerged today, claiming that Jennifer had cheated in their three-year relationship.
Three months ago, Jennifer allegedly secretly started dating insurance millionaire Victor Hui. Tabloids published photos of Jennifer visiting Victor’s home recently and allegedly spending several nights there.
Feeling heartbroken over the sudden breakup, Carlos has been unleashing his emotions on his social media account. Commenting on his recent viewing of When Sun Meets Moon <某日某月>, Carlos wrote, “I couldn’t stop crying when the film ended. I like those simple times, the sweet innocence of love.” He added, “Even after you are gone, my love for you hasn’t changed,” referencing Jacky Cheung‘s (張學友) song “I Still Find You the Best” <還是覺得你最好>. Fans felt that Carlos was actually spilling his sadness over his breakup with Jennifer.
Troubling Signs
Falling in love with Jennifer on the set of RTHK drama A Dream Comes True <總有出頭天>, Carlos had declared plans to marry her within five years. He also planned to gift Jennifer a ring valued at a six-figure-sum for next year’s Valentine’s Day.
Often expressing Jennifer’s importance to him, Carlos did hint in an April interview that marriage plans were contingent upon his girlfriend’s wishes. “If we can maintain our relationship, I hope to marry her one day. This is just how I feel, so I can’t say for certain. Besides, I don’t think it represents how she feels. She told me not to rush into things because we both need to focus on our careers first. I hope we can maintain our relationship and continue down our paths together.”
There were additional signs that all was not well. In May, Carlos was spotted visiting Jennifer’s family at home. When asked if they were discussing marriage plans, Carlos denied this and said awkwardly, “I’ll try my best. We don’t have plans yet.” Carlos’ hesitation indicated that there were problems to be ironed out.
Carlos and Jennifer Confirm Breakup
Speaking with Ming Pao, Carlos admitted, “Yes, we’ve broken up. I hope everyone gives me space. She is my best friend; she has helped me to grow a lot. I wish her the best. From now on, I don’t want to talk about my love life anymore. I hope everyone focuses on my career.”
Responding to press inquiries, Jennifer said that she and Carlos reached a mutual agreement to breakup and that it did not involve a third party. Jennifer said, “The Victor mentioned in the reports is my friend, whom I’ve known since a teenager. Victor and I, along with two other partners, will open a roast meats store at the end of June. Since I have to travel soon, we had a meeting at his house. I don’t want to implicate innocent people. I hope everyone gives us space!”

All the best to Carlos and hopes he can put behind his heartbreak soon. It’s obvious he was so much in love to Jennifer; it’s sad to see their relationship come to an end in this way.
If the tabloids’ timeline for the breakup is true, then Jennifer became involved with her new man around the time when Carlos was busily promoting for “Daddy Cool” and filming for his two new movies. Just as his career picks up, he has less free time to spend with Jennifer, making their relationship vulnerable.
@jayne OMG, just saw the clip on utube. Damn, was that shorter guy his manager or something? Should have pulled him away w/no comment faster and just ditch that reporter. My goodness!! He was tearing up and almost cried did a bit oh lord…so sad to see this cute talented guy tearing up like that. He was great in that time travel series. The girl probably cheated and initiated the breakup. It’s ok find a better one :0)
@wm2017 I just watched the video of Carlos crying over breakup… it’s definitely hard to watch him tearing up. Although the couple won’t reveal the reason, Carlos seems very sad and unwilling to let go.
In this case, I believe the tabloids that Jennifer fell for another man, otherwise it’s odd for her to suddenly break up with Carlos.
@jayne you know, a few of us were recently discussing the cheating issue in the Li Xiaolu , Jia Nailiang thread. My heart aches for Carlos as so far, he has proven to be an honest, down to earth easy going, humble young man who has not let fame change him. I don’t like cheating situations, whether it is the man or woman who is doing the cheating. It seems he loved her so much. The only things that will help him right now are time, the support and care of fans, family and loved ones maybe some counselling. This is sad.

Yes, very bittersweet that Carlos and Jennifer’s breakup comes at a time when his career is just starting to show promise. They were supporting each other for 3 years when Carlos was still struggling with his career. Bittersweet that one of Carlos’ biggest motivations was probably to earn enough money so he and Jennifer can get married.
Carlos seems like a very genuine person. I always thought EEG’s big stars were a little pompous and too “rehearsed” with the media, so Carlos was a refreshing breath of air. I was rooting for him and Jennifer… it’s indeed very sad if she had cheated on him.
@bubbletea
With long relationships there are always a good chance one or both will become bored and move on to a fresh relationship. Sometimes even to move up the social ladder which is many women’s dream in Hong Kong.
@jimmyszeto From some Chinese reports, it seems that the new guy is a notorious player who only dates pretty air stewardesses or models so let’s see what would be the outcome for her.
How can anyone bear to dump this nice sweet boy? Let her go, it’s her loss.
Judging by his genuine reaction, It’s pretty obvious it was the girl who initiated the breakup. I find it hard to believe any girl would break up with such a nice and gentle guy (and HOT too!)
It’s a 3 years relationship, guys. And she never broke up with him even when he was still struggling as an actor.
I don’t think it’s as simple as she found someone else. They probably had other issues going on at the time, too. Plus, with his newfound fame & success, why would any girl dump him?
@coralie Finally a rational comment.
That footage of him being grilled by the reporter for was traumatic to watch.
I know it’s their job. But where is the humanity? The poor guy was broken. It pained me to watch his suffering. Yes he is a celebrity but he’s also a human being who is hurting.
Please give him space!! Don’t try to humiliate him further.
I don’t really know who’s Jennifer Yu is but she sounds like a gold digger. I hope Carlos can move on and will find a better one later on feels sorry for him.
Aww, I was so saddened when I learned of the breakup! I’ve been following Carlos’ news for a few years now and it was so obvious in every interview where Jennifer’s name came up how important she was to him. He must be so heartbroken right now. 🙁 They were such a cute couple too! I was one of those people who was rooting for them and I honestly thought they would last. I hope Carlos will start strong and get through this. And for god’s sake, those d**n reporters need to LEAVE HIM ALONE!!
@llwy12 Carlos is a good man and he will survive this. He is fractured right now, but with time, love and a good support network, he will bounce back. I feel for him too. It was hard watching him trying to hold back tears. What bugged me is the darn reporters saw the man struggling with his tears and emotions and still they only cared about getting an interview. What a bunch of heartless vultures. Leave Carlos alone, the last thing he needs is reporters hounding him.
On a lighter note, have you read any articles about our boy Jacky Cheung having five wanted fugitives at his concerts in a two months span. He is now being called the fugitive trapper. It is said he is performing at his concerts under disguise for the police, hahaha! Police are said to be waiting for more fugitives to show up at his remaining concerts.
@jayne, can you please t uhh read this article if you have it.?
@bubbletea
I guess watching a Jacky Cheung concert before being put to death isn’t the worst last wish I have seen…..
Tabloids always point fingers and insert cheating rumors when breakups happen. They want to milk a sad situation for drama and people are falling for it and already blaming Jennifer based on rumors.
To me it sounded like Carlos was ready to settle down but Jennifer was unsure and wanted to focus on her career. Given their age, they are in different stages in life right now. Can’t blame either one of them.
@jayne I meant print the Jacky Cheung fugitives article if you have it?
