After Days of Silence, Vincent Wong Says Marriage with Yoyo Chen is Stable
As Vincent Wong‘s (王浩信) popularity rose, his romantic rumors also increased in recent years. Last week, reports surfaced that Yoyo Chen (陳自瑤) requested a divorce after living separately for some time. Putting everyone on edge on days over the state of their marriage, Vincent finally responded today and said his marriage is still stable.
Despite a playboy image, Vincent eventually tied the knot with Yoyo in 2011 when she became pregnant with their daughter. Vincent’s gossip hit an all-time high when he was was filming Legal Mavericks <踩過界> with Sisley Choi (蔡思貝). Although all parties dispelled the rumors, Vincent’s fidelity in his marriage was questioned by the public.
Reports claimed that Vincent and Yoyo were unable to escape the fated seven-year-itch. While Vincent was planning to buy a property for Yoyo, he eventually bought a 30 million HKD home for his mother instead, fueling the possibility that the couple was going to split. Another media outlet reported that Yoyo tried to hire a fengshui master to help save the marriage, but her efforts were met with no results.
Yoyo also left cryptic messages on her Weibo account about seeking happiness and starting over on a new leaf.
In a recent interview, Vincent finally tried clearing up the negativity surrounding his marriage. Stating that the biggest goal in life is love and happiness, the TV King exclaimed that there are no changes in his relationship with Yoyo. Admitting that there are occasional problems as with every marriage, but he learned his lesson every single time.
Firmly stating that he will not reveal direct details about his family, Vincent did not want his personal life to become the subject of gossip discussions.

Vincent and Yoyo’s marriage doesn’t sound like it’s all calm waters… Yoyo’s absence at the TVB Anniversary awards when Vincent won TV King spoke volumes. Also it is strange for Vincent to buy a luxury home for his mother and leave out his wife.
The couple also took many days to silence the rumors, which may indicate that they had an essence of truth, but perhaps the couple decided to give their marriage another chance.
@jayne wait…I thought he bought it for his wife? I saw Sharon’s interview and from the way she answered, it seemed that there’s indeed trouble in their marriage. If I rmbr correctly, she said “let them sort out their personal matters, we’re outsiders so it’s not appropriate to comment ” something to that effect which implied that all is not well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Vincent and Yoyo had made a secret inside agreement to stay married in principle to keep Vincent’s image and keep his earning power which is beneficial financially for both of them. In reality the marriage is probably done but Yoyo and the child is probably getting decent percentage of Vincent’s income…
@jimmyszeto that would be a very sad situation to have to live a lie for the sake of money.
@jayne
True but I do not see anything wrong with him buying a place for his mom instead of his wife. You can have many wives but only one mom. If Yoyo works herself, why can’t they buy one herself? I find it strange how many women these days feel they are automatically entitled to this and that just because they married a guy.
Honestly, I doubt Vincent really has any time for his family what’s with his hectic schedule in recent years. Filming for days on end gets in the way of managing a young family. I’m not surprised if he’s negligent of them. I’m sure they’re all suffering to an extent, even more for Yoyo since she has to raise her daughter all by herself without help from her successful husband. And if the rumors are true that he bought a house for his mother instead of for her & daughter, Yoyo probably feels he’s not invested in her or their family at all. Any woman would be indignant. Unfortunately sometimes that’s the price to pay for success.
@coralie
Well that is why women have to be independent instead of just relying on their husband so much. I personally do not find anything wrong with him buying a place for his mom because that is his mom after all. You can have many wives but only one mom. I bet Yoyo has a place to live too so why is she so bitter about him getting the place for his mom? If he is the main bread winner then she should be more understanding. However, it is true that working to the point that you neglect your family is not good too.
It does take 2 to tango, so you wonder if Yoyo has done things that caused things to turn out this way? It is not fair to blame Vincent for it all.
@hetieshou one of the parents has to care for the child and so yoyo makes the sacrifice to halt her career. She’s giving up her livelihood so she can stay home with the kids. Plus Vincent makes more dough. It’s more advantageous for her to be home and babysit than both. In that case, Vincent is tasked with making money for them all. And women, as they get older, have less bargaining power — sometimes having property and such helps them to feel more financially secure, yes at the expense of someone else, but it’s a give and take situation. There’s nothing wrong with buying a house for his mother, but if he promised her real estate and reneged on that promise, then he’s in the wrong.
What a beautiful daughter. I wonder too is that why they don’t want another child? Or is it one enough for them?
@cutie777 with Vincent’s hectic schedule, his daughter hardly gets any of his time. That in itself is not the greatest family time situation. In addition to that, the marriage has been on shaky grounds for awhile. I suspect there will be two marriage seperation this year. Both are good looking couples and each has a little daughter.
@bubbletea yes understand but sometimes you have to work harder to survive especially in Hong Kong? I’m sure they will work things out just feel bad for their daughter if they ended up getting divorced.
@cutie777 Hong Kong is one of thel most expensive places to live in this world. Celebrities who just started out in Hollywood can buy a detached home with a pool. In Hong Kong, that would take many years to accomplish. Unfortunately, in HK everyone works hard to keep the ricebowl from going empty, but it is sometimes sadly done with the risk of marriages unravelling. The children suffer so much, but the parents suffer too. Be that as it may, I still think that SOME couples give up too quickly on their marriages nowadays.
@bubbletea
I agree and in many cases you need to work or else how can you support the family? But sadly, many sacrifice their time and everything at the expense of family time. Those who are well off cannot understand that. However, there are people who do have some time for family but choose to do their own thing too(like my annoying brother’s wife who always prioritizes herself over everything and everyone).
@cutie777
woman’s body goes through lot of changes so it’s either personal reasons or vicent’s just too busy.
it’s only a matter of time they go separate ways if he keeps his party ways.
It would be quite sad if they do end up getting a divorce as they seem like a really cute couple and especially if there is a kid involved. I remember vaguely how Vincent Wong had a crush on her on a talk show or some other function and I thought to myself what a nice story as you don’t hear that a lot in showbiz.
Actually I wonder if Vincent would have married Yoyo if she didn’t get pregnant. I’m surprised to read that he’s a player as he has an image to protect now that he’s an A-lister. However as they say, no smoke without fire.
@passingby These people need to learn to use protection.
@passingby
It is all rumours so who knows? It is their issue so none of us know the whole story.
It’s sad… feel bad for the little girl. However it’s best to move on…
