Fred Cheng Overcomes Stephanie Ho’s Father’s Disapproval
Getting married on November 7, Stephanie Ho (何雁詩) and Fred Cheng (鄭俊弘) are in the final stages of preparations before the big day. Though the couple only dated for two and a half years, their journey seems longer due to the obstacles and negativity they have overcome. Since Fred was already engaged to another woman at the start of his relationship with Stephanie, the couple faced criticism including initial disapproval from Stephanie’s father, who took time to observe the actor/singer before giving his blessings.
Father Took Time to Observe Fred
Stephanie grew up in the lap of luxury, as Mr. Ho owns a successful transport and logistics empire with business locations in China and overseas. With an estimated total worth of $600 million Hong Kong dollars, Mr. Ho has three properties under his ownership which are valued at HK$60 million. Last month, the Hos’ luxurious 5000-square-foot home was exposed when they invited family and friends to a traditional Chinese pre-wedding celebration.
At the gathering, Fred seemed to get along well with Mr. Ho, but this was not the case when they first met. As Stephanie is Mr. Ho’s only child, he always had high expectations of Stephanie and was naturally very concerned about whom she was dating. The 70-year-old businessman said, “When they said they were dating, I observed Fred closely and saw that he has a good personality. Though he doesn’t talk much, he is filial and respectful towards the elderly.”
As Fred and Mr. Ho got to know each other more, they had increasingly more topics of conversation. Known for his love of golf, Mr. Ho remarked, “Many people will get frustrated when the golf practice doesn’t go well, which shows they have a poor temper. But I haven’t seen Fred get frustrated when he has a bad golf game.”
Finances are Separate from Her Parents
The actor is often seen attending big events hosted by the Ho family, and while Stephanie is happy that her fiance fits in well with her parents, she denies the media’s label of Fred as a “millionaire son-in-law.”
Stephanie said she does not even know how much her father’s total worth is, “Our fiances are independent. I hope Daddy can enjoy the money he earned and has a comfortable retirement. I don’t know if Fred saw the reports or not, but we aren’t too bothered by [the tabloids]. It’s most important that our family relationships are good.” She added that most of the wedding costs were paid by Fred and herself.
Excited for her wedding on Saturday, Stephanie has been sharing photos of her family on Instagram –especially thanking her mother for being her lifetime role model. Many of Stephanie’s fans left congratulatory messages and sent their blessings, thrilled that she has finally found happiness.

Stephanie Ho Finally Reveals Truth Behind “Boyfriend Stealer” Uproar
Stephanie Ho Talks About Extreme Dieting: “I Want to Smack Myself”
What does she and his exes see in him? He’s just an opportunist and gold digger who dumped his fiancee for this rich girl. Most definitely not worthy of them attempting suicide over him. As for talent, he has none. His voice is wimpish and jarring to my ears. I turn the volume off every time his song comes on tv.
@pisces2019 well I think it’s similar to Tavia and Him story first they called Him a cheater or a woman beater? Why is Tavia still want to be with him? I’m sure she can do better than that. Well if Fred ever cheated on her after marriages she probably forgives him just like the rest of those who’s husband got cheated on them. I’m not a fans of Stephanie but good luck! Stephanie looks just like her daddy. You have to said she’s her daddy girl!
@cutie777 I totally forgot about that scandal with Him. He’s been so low key with Tavia.
@cutie777 I don’t like this saying but it’s true: “Love is not logical.” Does a tiger change his stripes? I’ll put this way, I don’t think you always attract what you are but you definitely do end up with what you deserve. Fred will most likely treat Stephanie “well.” She met Fred when he was engaged to another woman. Loaded or not loaded, she is a more morally gray character than average. He is a more morally gray character too, so it works. Plus, he ain’t leaving a girl who is most likely going to inherit all her father’s $$ after he passes. Even if they paid for the wedding themselves right now, is Steph’s father gonna leave his daughter out of his will in 15 years when he dies? No.
Re Tavia’s case. I actually think she attracted the opposite of what she is but she said she likes them “tan and hunky” per her own words. Maybe she was okay being fixer, mother, and therapist to Him when they first started dating and “accepted him fully.” And now he has matured?
This couple is cringe, Fred will forever be known as a gold digger
Her dad thinks Fred’s good because he respects elders and don’t lose a temper over a golf game when he is looking? What does the dad think about Fred’s cheating to be with his daughter?
@mike Her dad seems to have forgotten that he is an actor by profession after all. Hahaha.

Cute couple! All the best:)
If my partner is the only child of a rich man, I would show great patience when playing golf with the said rich man.
