Charmaine Sheh Takes Her Time to Find Life Partner
Several of Charmaine Sheh’s (佘詩曼) good friends, such as Toby Leung (梁靖琪), Sherming Yu (姚樂怡), and Annie Man (文頌嫻) have already been married. With another of Charmaine’s good friend, Angela Tong (湯盈盈) tying the knot with Chin Ka Lok (錢嘉樂) at the end of the year, does Charmaine feel the pressure to find her life partner?
Chin Ka Lok and Angela Tong have confirmed plans to get married this year. It was speculated that Angela was also pregnant, leading to their rush to get married by the end of the year. Both parties have hinted this, but have yet to confirm, as the alleged pregnancy had not passed the first trimester.
Charmaine Does Not Have Any Suitors
Attending a promotional event for watch company Longines, Charmaine was asked about Angela’s “double happiness” of marrying Chin Ka Lok and becoming pregnant at the same time. Charmaine replied that she had already congratulated her. She did not find out about Angela’s wedding plans until news reporters asked her about it. Regarding Angela’s pregnancy, Charmaine avoided answering directly and said, “I wish that she would have a snake baby soon!”
Reporters continued to ask when would it be Charmaine’s turn to get married and have children? Charmaine responded, “It will be later! You can all wish me the best, but it’s all about fate. Currently, I do not have a target, suitors, nor wealthy pursuers. Honestly, wealth is not that important. The most important aspect is communication. I hope to find the kind of love that would make me smile upon seeing him!”
Takes Her Time to Find “Mr. Right”
With all of Charmaine’s good friends married, was she pressured to get married? She stated no and explained that she would take her time to find “Mr. Right” as it is a lifetime commitment. In addition, she had not been pressured by her mother because both her brothers had provided her mom with grandchildren.
Reporters then persisted and asked whether or not she had looked into a matchmaking service? Charmaine exclaimed, “No! I’m not at the stage where I need to contemplate it!” However, she would not eliminate the possibility of a lightning marriage such as Gigi Leung (梁詠琪) if she were to find her life partner. Although she had never dated a foreigner, Charmaine insisted that nationality and age are not priorities. She emphasized that the most important factor is communication!

Charmaine, do take your time and find your Mr. Right. There is absolutely no rush for you to get married.
Everlasting happiness is more important than a short-term lover-partner
It is ok to take her time if she only wants to find a guy to marry but if she wants to have kids, then taking her time is not the best idea.
She’s already pushing the boundaries for children. We are told that over 35 is starting to add risk.. but 40+ is risky to both mother and child.
It is still possible but it is just harder to have kids as we get older. There are people that have their first child at 40 and both mother and child are fine. It also depends on the overall health of the mother as well.
The change of misscarriage and health problems is higher when the mother gets over 35. So hurry up is a care to both mother and kids. Natural good health is always better.
women over 35 yrs old are not fertile!
I would advice guys to find better & younger ones especially since there are more gals than guys on this earth.
Which is the advice Raymond Lam is following? 18 is very fertile? What about 16? Why not 14? Why stop at 13?
Have a child when you’re financially and mentally capable to do so, not just physically.
Gosh Niki, you really to get your facts straight. There are plenty of women that have kids after 35. Why do you have to keep on spamming and trolling??
18 to 35 is the best age to a woman in common condition with common health for health issues when it comes to pregnant. Before 18 and after 35 the risks of misscarriage and illness in children are more. I thought it is in high school biography lessons of all the countries? No? Physically is that. Maybe some has financially resources but cant have children because of physically matter. Then it is a combinations of all capacities.
However to say after 35 cant be fertible or cant have children is just dumb.
HTS – You need to check your facts. We aren’t saying it isn’t POSSIBLE to have children after 35, it just isn’t recommended because of the risks.
Medically the risks with childbirth increase with age. 35+ is when it starts getting risky, over 40 isn’t recommended as the chance of birth defects. Did you know that the most cause factor for downs syndrome in a child is the woman’s age? As woman’s body ages it become less and less of a host to a child. At a certain age, nature shuts down the capability of having children at all through menopause – there is a reason for that.
And yes Fox – all this was taught to me in High School. I guess it isn’t taught in all corners of the world?
Sorry – the above should read “most COMMON factor” for downs syndrome.
Scientists, researchers, make up your mind!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2191961/Children-born-older-women-better-start-life-claims-study.html
That article is misleading Funn… it discusses accidents and immunizations… meaning that younger parents (as young as 13!!) were more likely to have children who had an accident against older mothers. That isn’t talking about the risks involved with pregnancy.
The article also states that older parents are more likely to immunize their children than younger. Again, it shows wisdom with age, and does not discuss the impact to the child.
What they did NOT mention in the article was the health risks to both mother and child due to the age of the mother. In fact, it wasn’t even something they looked at in the study.
@TVBFanatic,
Dude, I was talking to that Niki person(whom I think is a reincarnation of Tony/Rony). HE said that women over 35 are infertile. Read his post before blasting me!!! But I think his post got deleted so you did not see it. But he basically said that men should go for younger women since women that are 35 or older are infertile PERIOD!! I was NOT talking to you ok??
For your information TVBFanatic, I think many of us had all had some form of sex/reproduction education in school so don’t assume that we did not…
@TVBFanatic,
Everything that you mentioned, OF COURSE I know that so no need to rub it in. Like I have said, I was not talking to you but that troll Niki whose post got deleted. I can see why his post was deleted so you did not see it. It was all BS…
Ah, my apologies HTS… that post was deleted before I saw it, so I took your response out of context.
@TVBFanatic,
It is ok and I also apologize if I offended you. It was because of the troll Niki. If they did not make that nonsense post then none of this would have happened. I wish they would stop trolling and causing problems for everyone.
research has shown that after 35, women’s fertility shoots down sharply. some women are lucky to have kids after 35, but there are risks – both for the mother and child. child’s intellectual development are also at risk.
Women are not alone in this… a new study is now linking age in men as having a factor with a child’s risk for Autism.
The simple truth is that having children is an activity for a YOUNG couple.
I doubt she has the “time” to slowly choose a partner…..this is just her way of saying that there is no one interested in her…….it’s not hard to believe. She’s not overly pretty, does not have a feminine character and is not the “wife” type of woman that men look for…..My bet is that she will be just another one of those HK woman who just don’t having a man in her life………….haahaaa.
Charmaine is too good and smart for many guys!
I bet if she gets married tomorrow, you will say the man is bind.
I think Charmaine may think she is too good and too smart for guys which can be one of the main reasons why she is still single. Maybe she wants to remain single??
It just means that no Hong Kong men meet her standards or there are too many options make her confused.
To be honest, she wants a very successful and smarter guy to be her hubbie.
The question is given that there are so many hundreds of thousands of very young and very beautiful gals around, do you that she has any capacity to have any of these successful&smart guys to comd forward and beg her to become their wife?
It’s crazy, you know!
omg sandcherry.. u r so rght. why should charm settle for secnd best.. shes looking for the best. she doesnt need to settle.. i think shes gorgeous n a strong woman.
@sandcherry & elin
I’m also proud of her not willing to compromise her expected standards in a relationship just because of the pressure from society on women’s in their age of 30 plus.
Marriage is lifetime commitment. In this day and age, you don’t need a man to have a baby. There are other options such as adoption (which is what I prefer) or sperm bank.
I wholeheartedly agree! Well said!
well said sandcherry. how about Kenneth Ma, Charmaine?
interesting, although the two were in tvb together. they never get paired up. He’s one year older than her. new pairing. wonder if they’re friends.
but i do hope she gets to collaborate with ruco chan.
finding mr.right is not easy. don’t rush! i do feel rather sad for her that all her good friends are marrying one-by-one though.
When Charmaine Sheh was still in TVB, Kenneth Ma was only a 2nd line actor. She was a big sister, and Kenneth was a little brother.
We hope that Charmaine and Kenneth will be paired up together in future.
It is even harder for Ruco Chan to pair up with Charmaine Sheh. Ruco’s partner is borderline 1st line actress only, such as Krystal Tin and Selena Li.
Ruco Chan does not even have partners like Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, or Kate Tsui. He was paired up with Tavia Yeung in “The Other Truth” only just to move him up to 1st line actor.
Sandcherry,
Very interesting fact there about Ruco Pang, on how tVb moved him to 1st line artist by pairing with TY. I think Kenneth and Char pairing will be interesting.
Ruco will pair with Linda in new series with Moses and Kristal Tin.
Good for Ruco. It reflects that Ruco Chan is well established as a 1st co-actor.
Plz don’t pair Ruco with her…
He is running to old women, according to his fans :p. Kidding.
Charmaine is one year younger, wont be in the list for him to pursue. On the other hand, he is nothing like Benny or KC, so out of Charmaine’s list as well.
I think Charmaine was rather stupid to like Benny Chan some years ago. Benny was never a good looking guy and was not as popular as Charmaine. Perhaps Charmaine’s taste is funny.
Anyway, she is a very smart person and I hope she will find someone really good to be her partner.
Wow, really 狗眼看人低…
I’m glad that Charmaine is not so superficial to only care for things like looks and status.
That phrase actually don’t make sense. Shouldn’t doggies usually be looking up to humans, LOL
Who doesn’t? It is a fact that woman always expect to marry someone better. Perhaps there is one here who is not.
Charmaine lucky she got rid of lusty uncle Benny who loves fresh outside dishes 😛
@exoidus, that’s what it means. A dog is trying to look down to a human, when they are already a dog. That’s why it doesn’t make sense.
Charmaine herself said that she doesn’t care , as long as the man can support himself.
““As long as the man can take care of himself and I do not have to support him, then there is no problem. This is my bottom line. The most important thing is that two people are happy together. Is it guaranteed that there will be happiness with money? No there is not! If you truly love the person, there will be acceptance. As long as you do not put money above love, then there is no problem.”
Yeah, very glad for Charmaine because Benny Chan was never a faithful guy. He had dated too many women before and after Charmaine. Charmaine was just too good for him.
sandcherry: So love is all about popularity and looks? Calling her stupid and that she has a funny taste is so immature. Relationships are very complicated and compatibility/communication is the most important part. It’s hard enough to find someone that you like and that person likes you back. Also, you can’t just judge a person by who they are dating or used to date. Since you mentioned looks, I actually think Benny was cute and Charmaine is just average.
Dating many people does not mean that you are not faithful.
@Nicole,
Thanks, guess I have taken these phrases for granted without thinking abt the rationale behind.
It’s easier to understand for instance “when the piggy can climb a tree” LOL
The most memorable scene for Benny is when he ‘ate’ Rose Chan with his wife about to give birth anytime at home LOL
You are wrong Vivien the pinnacle of Benny Chan’s acting career was his performance during the press conference, LOL
Benny dated Michelle Yip and Charmaine last time. He was said by them to be caring and humourous guy. Both time the relationship ended quite peacefully. I think Charmaine did think of getting married with Benny because during their dating time Charmaine mentioned that she wanted to get married before 30.
charmaine got the most bewitching smile! almost childlike innocence and affection. real genuine smile
She scares me in the above photo for some odd reason.
it must be the eyes….it kind of looked like she was trying not to blink.
How do you know niki?
The newest incarnation of the former Tony and later Rony, ROFL
How do know I am scary Niki??? That is such a rude thing to say especially when you have no idea what I look like.
Hey I think you are right Exiodus. This person is the newest reincarnation of Tony/Rony. Boy he will never stop spamming and trolling will he??
HTS,
at least he changed more than 1 letter this time, however it’s still a 4 letter name, LOL
I know Exiodus!! You are so observant. Regardless of what name anyone uses, the way they talk and present themselves cannot be changed. They can change Jiang Shan but cannot change their original personality/character.
I thought Niki was just charmaine’s loyal fan?
I thought so at first too but after reading more of their posts, they really sound that Tony/Rony guy that was probably banned but is now back under a different username.
Charmaine is ‘only’ 35+. Take your time 😛
Sheren tang still hasnt marry. Dont worry, take your time charmaine! You still have 15 yrs to go.
Hong Kong actors/actresses often look younger than their age but except this Charmaine Sheh. She looks much older than my cousin, even my cousin is 38 now
I don’t think Charmaine looks older than her age. She does not look old at all.
She is one of the recent actresses who did not go for plastic surgery even for her little scar on her face. I think highly of her. She wants to impress her audience by her acting, and not by her face.
She looks her age.
@sandcherry,
I couldnt agree with you more, there is one thing i highly look up to Charmaine is she didnt go for any PS (oh well, atleast you can’t spot any major changes on her face like some other artists..)
I think she looks about her age.
I also admire Charmaine for not going for PS. Another actress that did not go for PS is Angie Chiu and she looks fabulous at her age. She is against PS too.
I think the current fadan like Fala and LInda also didnt go for PS, well no noticeable changes spotted on the face like TY and Kate lol.
I think only Linda is 100% PS free among the current so-called top fadans.
I think Fala also go for PS. Her jaw changed. Myolie had the same change too. Kate’s lips sometimes look botoxed. TY no need to mention anymore, too obvious.
I think Linda is fairly free from PS so far, but she’s also the youngest. We can’t tell about the future when she also reach 30’s 😛
I also think Fala did go for PS since her jaw does look different as Vivien mentioned.
yeah guys, I also think Fala did PS now after looking at her rpevious photos and now. she changed so much and I dont really think makeup can do such wonder job
Yes Charmaine didn’t go for PS , she ages nicely. I thought Linda looked different when she first appeared on-screen
http://www.spcnet.tv/pictures-photos-ph2227-Linda-Chung-Ka-Yan.html
However it may be baby fat and double eyelid tape that makes all the difference. Make up now , can do wonders.
she looks great.. lines on your face creases wrinkles means u hve indeed live lfe.. u r experienced.. why would anyone wanna go ps unless u r were in a situation tht needs ps to correct somethng.. besides tht no reason for ps.. charm looks great.. i cn only hope i wll age as good as her
I think she looks older than her age but just few years. Maybe she is too thin to make her face older.
Linda did something to her eyes, I think so. But just a minor thing so she can be considered as quite natural. However I never find her that beutiful. She is cute and sweet look, but not the bright beautiful girl. Her bad skin makes an impact.
Pretty and naural? I will say Sonija Kwok. She was very pretty and now she is only mature. The worst part in her face is her mouth but it dun affect the overall look much.
I think Fala Chen had some plastic surgery done on her face. Her face was wider and her chin did not look pretty at all. For Linda Chung, if she had plastic surgery, it should be quite minor.
Kate Tsui looks a lot prettier now. Can’t believe it if she did not have plastic surgery done on her eyes, face, and maybe lips.
I think Myolie Wu’s face looked smaller after she took off her 30+ lbs. when she finished filming that drama series.
Well, for Tavia Yeung, it is too obvious for us to say “No”.
Agree that Sonija Kwok looks very pretty and she did not have any plastic surgery done on her face.
she looks older than she is: http://matchbin-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/public/sites/358/assets/134511340692092012081618352016_07303.jpg
i find her unattractive. maybe she really needs PS.
Still this pic, fez? Do you have another pic of Charmaine?
How to tell Linda’s skin considered bad ? Sorry , i mean i can’t really tell with all that make up .
In HD look closeup to the face. The makeup cant cover all of her flaws on skin in HD. Maybe you can see her in person to judge. I stood next to her and her skin is quite bad. Of course not as bad as Kenneth Ma :). However she has sweet look.
i heard that if you use to much makeup everyday, it will harm your face at the end and make it look bad, that must be the reason.
Compared to most female actresses, I think Linda Chung does not have beautiful and fair skin complexion
Yea, make up can’t hide every flaw on the face. One of my friends has ok skin, but when she breaks out her pimples are pretty big and make up cannot hide/cover it. Is Linda’s skin that bad?? I did not know that Kenneth’s skin is that bad…
@Linnh,
My parents constantly tell me that make up is bad for your skin and to not wear/use it unless you need for special occasions. Of course one of my friends argued since she wears make up everyday that it depends on the brand you use. But my parents argued that make up is make up.. I don’t even use skin care that much since my parents are sort of against that too. However, they allow me to use it and not any form of make up which is why I don’t use BB cream either since that is make up as well. I wonder why they call it a cream??
I agree that heavy makeup is no good to a person’s skin. However, I have no objection to light makeup, and I think it is important to use skin care. It will give a person’s skin adequate protection and moisture.
I use skin care but not much. I think it is good to use it when needed.. Also, use make up when needed as well but not too much…
Maybe because it has a soothing effect like those face cream, and they have all-in-one like moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock, so it may be better for your skin then those liquid foundation, so that’s why they call it cream? You know what HTC I really have no clue LOL.
@Sandcherry you are right.
i admit that I use makeup everyday, and yes I also know that it will harm my face at the end. I have an aunt that use a lot of makeup all day long, and when she don’t have makeup on, then her face looks bad. So I am not surprise if I one day will look like a witch.
@Linnh,
Well foundation comes in many forms, so who said that everyone had the to use the liquid form?? I have seen photos of it and it looks sort of liquid like but more thick so it is referred to as cream but isn’t really cream. I actually don’t know either since I have never used it…
@HTS
Yeah i know that foundation is coming in many forms, Me myself is using two different forms. I guess we only get the answer when we ask people that sell it to us, next time we buy one.
@linnh
Yea foundation comes in many different forms. I only know about since some of my friends wear it. Make up can be really expensive. I once saw on Inside Edition that this one guy was selling fake brand name make up on the street for only $10 and said it was authentic. However, it had high levels of lead and other harmful chemicals and caused permanent skin damage to many people. Make up itself already has a lot of scary ingredients so I do not dare to use it. Same with skin care so I do not use that much either but only when needed.
@HTS: Kenneth’s facial skin was very bad but after he had some treatments it is a bit better but his body skin (showed in MOL) scared me a lot. That’s why it’s an eyesore to me whenever he is topless. He should get rid of topless skin or use the medicine in the whole body.
If someone like Dominic Lam who publicly admit that his skin is very bad, I won’t comment much. But Kenneth is not :).
For Linda, it isn’t terrible but she has bad facial skin.
For BB Cream, it is called cream because it is cream. I wonder if you have ever use it or not. Its form is cream. The skin care cream is also called cream for this reason.
Ohh Well, I hope you will find your life partner very coon Charmaine.
Maybe Charmaine is still waiting for her “Mr. Right” and that is why she is taking so long to get hitched.
If you wait too long,are too picky or too ideal then you will not get anyone….
She’s pretty, has money and is successful so when the time is right, she’ll find mr. right. No need to rush!
Agreed!
how do we know if she’s single? lol…
omg sky yes she mght secretly hve as man.. fingers stll crossing for kc n charm.. lol
s msn
“.. fingers stll crossing for kc n charm.. lol”
**********
hahahaaa… it almost seems very believable that they have an underground love affair. They’re just not ready to announce it because Kevin’s is taking off and less distraction is good for him right now.
Anyhow, speculations aside, I think Charmaine is very level-headed, smart woman. And of course, as a woman in her 30s, she is not easily charmed or impressed into making rash decision. All these could be quite imtimidating for some men.
sorry it should read…
Kevin’s is taking off = Kevin’s career is taking off
If she’s not planning to have a biological child, she can take as long as she wants 🙂
true. my friend adopted 3 kids. they’re now in their teen years – happy but troublesome years, heh.
it’s a huge gesture to raise and love kids not of your own blood. so i support adoption whenever possible. give those kids a home and love. =)
I agree and it is great to adopt kids if you cannot have your own. Adopted kids can be great and often times treat you very well since they know that you are not their biological parents but yet raised you like their own.
@ HeTieShou
Why should there be a condition when one decides to go for adoption? I asked because you said, and I quote, “it is great to adopt kids if you cannot have your own”. The “if” in your case means the adopted child is only meant to fill the void of not being able to have your own.
I have always wanted to adopt more so than having my own child. And also know many more ppl adopted even though they already have their children. Putting conditions in the decision to adopt is very selfish.
@lingling,
Oh yes, that is true. I guess I said that since sadly many of the people that I know only adopted kids because they could not have their own. I do not think you should regard that as being selfish because regardless of what the reasons are, adopting a child is a good thing. I do agree that you should adopt a child because you want to not because of any conditions.
Of course everyone would love to have someone to love and pamper her. You will know your destined prince when you meet him. That feeling is unique. I believe everything has been arranged by the heaven when we are born.
I have met my sunshine. So would you 🙂
