Bosco Wong Likes Vanessa Yeung’s Simplicity
Currently dating Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), Vanessa Yeung (楊崢) is harshly criticized for being nine years older than him, appearing more like an older sister than girlfriend. Debuting in 2000, Bosco is still regarded as one of TVB’s youngest and rising actors. Bosco shrugged off the negative backlash and does not mind the age gap at all. He said he loves Vanessa for who she is.
A former model in the 1990s, Vanessa was once associated with famous Hong Kong models Kathy Chow (周海媚), Eunis Chan (陳嘉容), and Mikki Yao (姚書軼). Slowly retiring from her modeling career, Vanessa starred in several movies but made a bigger impression hosting television shows. In recent years, Vanessa contributed to the Chinese and English columns of various magazines, in which she writes about food and finance.
Vanessa never revealed her true age, and reports varied in reporting her age. A netizen who claimed to be one of Vanessa’s college classmates confirmed her age to be 42 years old. Vanessa said simply, “Thank you, but there’s no need for me to clarify anything.” She then dryly added, “You can say I’m 50-years-old if you like.”
A Love for Food
Bosco and Vanessa bonded through their common interest in food and cooking, and the couple helped build Bosco’s oyster bar together. Born under humble circumstances in Shanghai, Vanessa attributed her love for food to her childhood and work experience.
Vanessa believes that cooking with high quality, fresh ingredients lead to the best results. “I’ve met many Michelin cooks before, and all of them grow their own ingredients in their garden. If you want good results, you have to first rely on yourself.” Although Vanessa’s farming experience is limited, she enjoys working on the organic farms in the New Terrorities.
Many netizens felt that Bosco and Vanessa’s relationship came out of nowhere, and many of Bosco’s fans have expressed that Vanessa was not a good match for the actor. How did Bosco fall in love with her? “There’s no need to complicate things. He told me that he liked me for my simplicity. It is that simple.
“I can eat anything,” said Vanessa. “I eat the food at Michelin three-star restaurants in the same way as I eat my mother’s Shanghai wontons. Eating makes me happy. I don’t know how to make luxurious food, but a simple salad with eggs and nuts can satisfy me. It tastes no different from an expensive dinner.”
Asked if she has marriage plans in mind, Vanessa boldly stated that it is still too early in their relationship to think about settling down. However, she does have one goal in mind, “I want a house with a garden that I have planted with my own hands.”

Hi Jayne:
Kathy Chow, as reported in the above article, should be 周汶錡, and not 周海媚. 周汶錡 is a model while 周海媚 is an actress.
to sandcherry, do you mind translate that for me as i cant read chinese? tks in advance.
Depending what kind of article ……… I am not good in formal translation.
However, the article is already translated above.
So which is the real Vanessa? The gold worshipper/digger or the woman who loves simplicity?
her simplicity is wanting a house with a garden, so she can plant veg with her own hands, isn’t that a luxury already? only the very rich are able to do that in hongkong
That’s what I thought (land = gold). haha 🙂
agree vanessa obviously giving her wealth chasing mentality out! simple my foot! no simple man can afford land in hk!
i also think so,in hongkong if you want a house with garden is very expensive,i think at least 10 million hk dollar if you want one.
bosco dont be naive,only little children are simple thinking. if a women at 42 years old and still single then she isnt that simple as you think she is.
shame on bosco for being so naive and stupid. even minors know already that a 42 year old single and unmarried aunty must have something wrong with her! maybe his punishment for wronging his ex girlfriend for 8 years!
no woman would admit that she’s a gold digger! the news proven all! she not only stole alman wong’s husband but also love hooking up with rich guys! it’s obvious she’s using bosco to get fame, tvb contract and his money! bosco is stupid
vanessa didn’t do well in modelling / movies, yet, she used bosco to get into tvb, makes me wonder, did she get rid of bosco’s girlfriends intentionally so as to have it all? no wonder bosco’s mom don’t like vanessa, never ignore a mom’s intuition
Well, mothers may not like the woman being older.
the other article implied that bosco’s mother likes the rich heiress! seems like she’s after money! vanessa on the other hand is old and poorer and is well known for gold digging! only bosco is blind to notice that vanessa is using him to get a contract with tvb when the whole world already knows! no sympathy for the jerk!
Traditionally, many old folks still frown at the jiedi relationships. I can say that my mom and older relatives are the same way. They still highly prefer the girls to be younger than the guys. Therefore, it is not a shock that his mom may like the fact that she is older. However,with time she may accept.
Selfiwu,
Once again do you ever pass up a chance to blast Vannessa? If you hate Bosco and Vannessa so much,why jeep on coming to their threads and commenting? You must have way too much time on your hands. I suggest you spend it doing more productive things and on people that you like,like your dear Myolie for example.
Nine (9) years age gap is a bit of a stretch even if the man were older.
once again hts jaynestars is a free site and this vanessa news is reported by jaynestars free for all to read and who told vanessa to brag that she’s so called simple but actually she’s giving out her wanna be rich mentality with her expensive farming hobby? no normal family can afford land in hk!
besides hts your bosco said earlier that his mom accepts vanessa but news today come out other wise and proved by how his mom don’t respond at all to reporters. that means bosco is lying? 😛 unfilial kid
my best pal is married to a guy 10 years younger since 14 years ago and are still together.
“my best pal is married to a guy 10 years younger since 14 years ago and are still together”
Always glad to hear that there are such open-minded men out there. Thanks for sharing.
Selfiwu,
You actually believe all of the news reports that you read? Wow,you are so naive! Who does not lie in their lives? You cannot swear that your favorites never lied before. It is true that this is a free site,but that does not mean you can anything mean and rude just like how you always say about Bosco,Vanessa or anyone. You need to watch your mouth.
@buzz lucky for them but your friend i believe not 42 old age and has history of gold digging in the past, and the younger guy must be a good guy who is not a flirt and dates many many women before marrying her
no you’re wrong the other news just said that bosco’s mom wants a rich daughter in law but karma for her greediness that the jerk bosco fell for the scheming high maintenance and no job vanessa instead! that’s why she doesn’t like vanessa! bosco is so unfilial!
should think that tina went all the way to please bosco’s mum as well, bosco is pretty loaded, also he and his mom don’t care about tina’s money as much as vanessa about bosco’s wealth, tina’s family is rich but the money is not hers
vanessa is one big old liar in this interview. simple what? only rich people can afford land in hk! everyone live in flats! what a match made in hell. greedy mom, jerk son, and scheming aunty girlfriend.
wah..why pictures of her getting worse and worse in Jaynestars?. Her first picture featured here was not that bad but recently most of her pictures show her true age.
I really think the maximum age woman can be older than men is 5 years old. But of course there is a particular case. My kids’ pediatrician married a woman older than him for 20 years old and they married for long time until his wife recently pass away..
did anyone object when Wong Fei and NIcholas Tse were fake dating?
wong fei was not a gold digger
Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong faced criticism from the HK media when they were dating too. However, I think it was a much worse case with Nic and Faye since Nice was only 19 and Faye was 29 at the time. Nic was really young at that time so it seems like it was more of an aunty/older sister type of relationship. I mean Nic was still a teenager back then…not even a full grown adult yet! Vanessa may be older than Bosco but at least they are both mature adults in their 30’s and 40’s. It’s not like Bosco is 20 and Vanessa is 40. I don’t see what’s the big deal with their 9 years age gap. Eventually Bosco will be old too…before you know it he will be 40 soon. And then by then it’d actually be pretty nasty if he dates are girl who is only in their 20’s when he’s 40…that’s just sick! Why is it that people find a guy dating a younger woman to be normal but it’s forbidden or wrong for an older woman to date a guy younger than her? I think that if a guy can fall in love with a woman who is older than him then he truly loves her for who she is and not for her looks or because of her young age. Well, unless that older woman is rich and the guy just wants a sugar mama to buy him everything then that’s just wrong!
vanessa is from china, she sees money differently
@tame
Do you mean all women from China are money hungry?
she is one of them
not all but she is one of them
