Cheung Tat-ming and Wife Ho Nim-Chi Are Living Separately
52-year-old Hong Kong comedian actor Cheung Tat-ming (張達明) spent the last few years fighting cancer, and returned as a survivor. His wife, clinical psychologist Ho Nim-chi (何念慈), was with him in every step of the way.
However, on August 2, Cheung Tat-ming and Ho Nim-chi released a joint statement on Sina Weibo, announcing that they have separated and are living apart.
The statement read, “We have known each other for 27 years. We have been with each other in times of happiness. We have struggled in hardships together and we have encouraged each other through the way. Experiencing up and downs together, we share a deep relationship. However, we do not share the same views of our future. We each have our own expectations, and we are searching for a different life for ourselves. We’ve decided to change our ways of communication and separate rather than living under the same roof. We want to give each other more space to chase our own dreams.”
The couple did not say they were filing for divorce, but did reveal that they have already been living separately for a while. Now that they have settled into their new lives, they decided that it was finally time to tell their friends, and thanked their friends and family for their unwavering support and concern. Cheung Tat-ming and Ho Nim-chi said they will still raise their two children together “with love.”
“We ask the media and reporters for their understanding. Please allow us some privacy. We do not want to do interviews for now. We want us and our children to live a simple and peaceful life. Thank you.”
Hong Kong reporters reached out to Cheung Tat-ming, who responded through a text message: “Thank you for the concerns. We have already expressed all our thoughts in the statement. We have nothing more to share for now. Thank you.”

Give the guy a break.. He has been through a lot and their statements already said what they wanted to say. Give them some peace!
I am so sorry to hear they are separated. It is sad to see a couple drift apart, but unfortunately, that is one of the harsh realities of life. How ironic that Cheung Tat-ming could survive the cancer attack, but could not survive the breakdown of his marriage. I wish both him and Ho Nim-chi all the best for the future. All the best to their children too.
Hope the reporter have some decency and understanding and give them time and space to handle their family matter.
Oh that is sad. But I hope that they will remain friends despite their divorce and their kids won’t be affected too much. I do wish that Tat Ming stays healthy and I do miss his humour on screen.
I’d always like Cheung as a actor; he was incredibly funny with a real gift of the gap. It’s sad that after going through the cancer ordeal together, he and his wife decided to split. But I guess only the two know what is best for them, sad as it may be. Wish them and their children all the very best for the future.
