Ella Koon Announces Engagement to Boyfriend of 6 Years
Ella Koon (官恩娜) revealed that she has been engaged to her boyfriend of six years, 32-year-old doctor Dr. Juan-Domingo Maurellet. “I’m happy to announce that we are engaged!” Ella wrote on her Sina Weibo blog after sharing their engagement photos from Paris.
Juan proposed to Ella with a five-carat diamond ring right before they left for Paris earlier this year. Wearing her $500,000 HKD diamond ring to a function on November 8, Ella recalled happily, “He knelt down before me. I thought he was joking at first because he always did that to play around. I didn’t know he was serious until I saw the ring.” Ella said she has never been so happy in the 35 years of her life. “It’s very sweet to finally know how it feels like to be proposed to and become someone’s wife!”
Ella did not reveal the date of their upcoming wedding, but confirmed that it will not be this year.
Juan, with mixed English, French, and Chinese heritage, studied at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and graduated in 2005. He became a member of the Medical Council of Hong Kong four years later and is a general practitioner.
Ella and Juan met at a Valentine’s Day event in February 2009. Juan heard that Ella, who was endorsing a speed dating matchmaking company at the time, was looking for a potential partner. He personally wrote a letter to Ella to ask for a meeting. The company’s program creator, Violet Lim, disclosed in an interview that ten single men were lined up to meet Ella before the company decided to choose Juan. The two immediately clicked after having their first lunch together and their relationship was discovered by the paparazzi in June 2009.
When Ella met Juan in 2009, she already considered him to be her marriage partner. “He’s very filial and gets along with my family really well.”

Congrats Ella! 🙂
Ohhh…how nice. Ella Koon has been a pretty good looking lady to me even I can never understand why she’s always just a cameo/supporting in all those crappy TVB series. The dude is not bad looking too….WELL DONE Ella 🙂
you sound so shallow. anyways, congrats ella.
that’s because she is a full time singer, acting for tvb is just an additional job she took on, she doesn’t have an artist contract with tvb
So happy for her! Her fiancé looks really dashing too!!
Congratzz Ella happy for you!!!
Congratz to ella her and her boyfriend looks so cute together
The guy’s lost a lot of weight going by older pictures of them on the web. But he’s wearing the exact same type of shirt in practically every public photo lol!
lol. True. He must really like that shirt.
naww so romantic! Happy for Ella ! Congrats
Congrats! So happy for Ella and her fiancé
Does a gp in hk earn that much money? 500k 5 carat ring? The gps in the uk probably struggle with tht amount of money at 32 yrs of age
Obviously he’s from a rich family. The female celebs don’t choose poorer partners very often.
Agreed. Ella is a gold digger too.
If we all have that kind of choices, why not?
@Sheila,
Why can’t you just simply be happy for people who finds true love instead of instantly labeling them as gold digger. Besides, she making her own money too.
@Sheila: I heard that Ella herself is from a rich family too…
congrats to Ella, they look good together 🙂
Ohhh!!! They look cute!!! Congrats!!!
It’s so wonderful when couples get together as husband and wife. Congratulations to Ella and Dr. Maurellet!
Congrats Ella! I remember that she used to date with Ron Ng and I think she still has some anymosity at him years after their breakup. It must’ve been a bad break.
she looks so different from the last time i saw her in a tvb series..anyways congrats
He’s quite a hunk!
Nice~~
