Jessica Hsuan’s “Boyfriend” Turns Out to Be Married Man
Jessica Hsuan (宣萱) may have finally found a new love. The forty-three-year-old actress was seen meeting with a wealthy Mainland businessman last month over a dinner that lasted for seven hours.
After starring in 2012’s popular TVB drama Tiger Cubs <飛虎>, Jessica has been maintaining a low profile in Hong Kong and spent most of her time filming in China. In the industry for over twenty years, she has only publicly acknowledged four romances. She dated fellow actor Dicky Cheung (張衛健) during the early nineties but the pair split after just two years together. After that, Jessica seemed determined to date outside of her work; her next relationship was with businessman Ronald Wing (榮文翰), and later she was seen with dentist Kevin Chan (陳建緯).
In 2010, Jessica made news when she was linked with veterinarian Ruan Bester. She and Ruan easily hit it off and were not afraid to show their affection in public. Although many expected the two to walk down the aisle, Jessica suddenly announced their break up in July 2011, noting that their values and ideas for the future varied. Single once again, she temporarily gave up thoughts of marriage and made enjoying life a priority. Often eating out with friends, she ballooned up in weight and was seen twenty-pounds heavier in September 2013. Despite the negative exposure, Jessica seemed happier and even openly joked about her more rounded figure.
At the end of December, Jessica was seen meeting up with a fifty-year-old Mainland businessman for a dinner date in Causeway Bay. They shared a meal in a private dining room and ordered restaurant staff to keep away. Joking and laughing heartily, the two remained at the restaurant for seven hours before parting ways.
Speaking with the press today, Jessica clarified that the man specified in the reports was actually an old classmate she met in the United Kingdom. Jessica said, “He is already married with children. I will definitely not date married men.”

Wow, a 7-hour dinner really means something I guess.
I really doubt anyone can stay for 7 hours inside a restaurant…….the whole dinner shift is only a couple of hours.
Unless they were screwwing around in there, I think it is an exxageration from the media……..
A dinner usually last 2 hours, but people can stay on talking to each other. Many good friends would book a room and spend some hours there chatting and drinking.
Leftover material definitely……past her prime and biological clock is past ticking time……she will be desperate to get her hands on anyman out there that will take her……….Oh, and I guess if the guy has a bit of money won’t hurt either.
If you’re a girl I hope you would consider dropping these sexist generalisations of ‘leftover girls’. Why cant girls be single and unmarried while men like george clooney are lauded for being perpetual bachelors? I’m no feminist but sometimes seeing these bigoted comments really makes me boil.
yuaida is a guy.dont respond to his comments.his a troll.
i agree with u dejavu
Dejavu, I agree with you. Married right is more crucial than married when…
Wholeheartedly agreed with dejavu. Why settle for the sake of being settled? Stop these ignorant judgments/comments!
@dejavu
The sexist comments should be dropped regardless of commenters gender/sex. I share your dislike of the double standard, but unlike you I AM a feminist. Being or not being a feminist does not make your point more valid, but there seems to be an increase in the use of phrases such as “I’m no feminist” or “I’m no tree hugger”. I don’t mean to criticize you, but seeing your dislike of “bigoted comments”, I want ed to let you know that the social barriers to feminism is growing and by using phrases such as “I’m no feminist”, you are fueling that growth, and the word feminist will become a derogatory word like “leftover material” or “gold digger.”
@Yuaida
You’re definitely not the first person to make demeaning comments on the internet and probably expected some backlash. I have no interest in arguing over the amount of truth in your comment. For all I know and care, she might be desperate and money might be a criteria, and biologically speaking, she is past her prime. You are open to your own opinion, and that is the perks of having freedom of speech.
What I do want to say is that you might become a little happier if you try to interpret things more optimistically. Life is full of surprises and it’s usually more rewarding to look at the bright side. For all we know, if she got married earlier she might be stuck in an abusive relationship or she might be content, either way, that is in the past now. In the present, she is not married but she might still be content, she has a successful career, healthy relationship with friends and a potential romantic relationship. For all we know, my interpretation might be further from the truth, but it makes me feel more optimistic.
The funny thing is that science is proving that men have a “best before date” as well in terms of the “biological” clock. It might not be as strong as the women’s “on/off” switch… BUT the risks for an unhealthy baby rise as the male’s age rises as well.
So while the female biological clock definitely ticks loud, the male clock too does exist 😛
As to the problems with the word “feminist” I think that until such a word is stricken from our language that equality will never truly exist.
I don’t think knowledge of the male biological ‘clock’ (iirc the increase in risk for disorders like autism is still pretty small) will make people any less sexist. The basic truth that men are capable of having children for the vast majority of their lives while women can’t is insurmountable. I guess the only thing that older moms have going for them is that chromosomal problems can be screened for whereas the genetics of autism is still pretty murky at best.
With medical breakthroughs (cryopreserving eggs), issues with women’s biological clock may soon be a thing of the past.

I like your comments in response to Yuaida’s. Good points.
Wow you are really a hateful person.
This was in response to Yuaida’s comment. It got deleted and now looks like I am remarking on other people’s posts sorry.
I think Jessica is a strong willed person and will not get attached permanently to any man except the ‘right’one in her eyes.
I hope she gets her desire soon.
Yes she isn’t getting any younger but that doesn’t mean she’s still not pretty. Think she’s great and shouldn’t settle with anyone. Doesn’t matter if she’s past her prime as long as she can support herself, why does she need a man? Just be happy Jessica!
true
Hi5, that’s good thinking. 🙂
All the best Jessica, the hateful remarks totally uncalled for!
Maybe she hasn’t found Ms Right yet? it’s a possibility. In any case, I really liked the comment by starreader about getting “married right” instead of “married when”
I feel sorry for any woman with a man who labels women “leftover material”. Better dump him ASAP.
People can also choose not to need to have babies. They can just want to find a nice suitable partner and not worry about clock in and clock out, what ever you guys call it. I just wanna say it is just your assumption that everyone who marries MUST want babies … That’s not a compulsory decision.
Wow…the amount of prejudice and hate in this forum (not just this thread, but the entire forum in general) amazes me. It seems like normal, rational people can’t have intelligent discussions in this forum without being attacked with nonsensical comments from trolls who have nothing better to do with their time. Such a shame!
I have never seen the biological clock as a problem until when I get married last year. I am 36 this year and have tried for baby since then but in vain. I feel very disheartened. I feel I have disappointed my husband and his family. Sometimes I think if only I am in 20s and maybe such problem would not appear.
Biological clock……why appears in us?
Why blockage?
Why endometriosis?
What have I done to get these?
I just wish to be a good wife a good mother a good daughter-in-law.
False alarm for 2 times…..
Sad disappointed disheartened.
