Why is Kenneth Ma Not Dating Natalie Tong, Rebecca Zhu, or Eliza Sam?

Last year’s The Hippocratic Crush <On Call 36小時> sent Kenneth Ma’s (馬國明) popularity skyrocketing with his role as Dr. Cheung Yat Kin, in which the audience loved. He not only received the 2012 TVB My Favourite Male Character award, but also the Astro On Demand Best Actor award in Malaysia.
Starring in Wong Jing’s New Drama
Anticipated sequels to be released this year include Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II> and The Hippocratic Crush 2 <On Call 36小時II>, which will both feature Kenneth. Near the end of the year, he will also be filming for a golden deluxe drama by Wong Jing (王晶).
Allegedly, Kenneth is currently being heavily promoted by TVB in order to take this year’s Best Actor title. Kenneth said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter which award I receive. I wouldn’t mind even if I were competing for Best Supporting Actor. The most important thing is that awards allow me to make more money to purchase a house. I am thankful for the opportunities that the company, as well as Wong Jing, has given me. I will be able to work with Deanie Ip (葉德嫻) and learn from her.”
Home Ownership Dreams
Kenneth revealed that his goal in 2013 is to earn enough money to purchase a 1,300 square feet flat in the eastern district of Hong Kong Island. He would like to live with his parents so that he can take care of them. At 39 years old, Kenneth is still young at heart and loves to spend time with his family.
In his leisure time, aside from spending time with his family, Kenneth would play soccer or go for his weekly facials. Like most men, Kenneth neglected his skin when he was younger, which resulted in problematic skin. Filming a new photo shoot for his skincare sponsor recently, Kenneth said, “After becoming a skincare endorser, I realized that appearances and image are very important for an artist and public figure. Even if I’m tired, I’ll reveal my best side before others.”
Kenneth’s Impression of Natalie, Rebecca, and Eliza
Recently, there have been many rumors regarding Kenneth’s love life. Gossip subjects include his costars, Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), Rebecca Zhu (朱晨麗), and Eliza Sam (岑麗香). Kenneth expressed, “I can’t stand it! I’m most afraid of angering other people’s fans!”
Kenneth drew the line away from his rumored flames. Regarding Natalie, Kenneth said, “She’s a good girl. We’ve known each other for many years. It’s okay to be friends, but it’s a different matter for a girlfriend. I never asked about her relationship with Amigo Chui (崔建邦). You can say that I don’t want problems and will not enter a love triangle. I know Amigo very well.”
On Eliza Sam, Kenneth said, “Princess Heung Heung [Eliza] is very cute, but I don’t know her well. We don’t have much to talk about. We don’t really stay in touch, as I don’t even have her cell phone number. I feel bad for dragging her [into the gossip]; it’s not fair for a girl and made me very embarrassed.”
As for Rebecca Zhu, Kenneth asked audiences to spare her criticisms. “She’s a good girl, a very hard-working newcomer. She will have to go through the phase of being a newcomer. There’s no need for people to criticize her Cantonese and be so harsh on a newcomer! But we don’t have much contact, and haven’t seen each other since the last public event.”
Dislikes Competing for Women
Speaking of looking for a romantic partner, Kenneth said, “You choose others, others choose you. All the girls within the industry are beautiful, and of course beautiful girls have boyfriends. I won’t consider them if they already have a boyfriend. There’s no point in getting involved in a complicated three-way relationship. I never like to compete with others.”
Kenneth further revealed that girls outside the industry show no interest in him, so it depends on fate when it comes to love. One time, his mother tried to introduce him to a girl, but as soon as the girl heard who he is, she said, “Kenneth Ma? He has a different girlfriend in every drama. He will have lots of temptation. No way!”
As long as he has money to earn, Kenneth does not mind the tabloids’ rumors. “I know if there are no rumors, there won’t be a talking point. But I must be rumored with someone who is single, or else it will look bad! The physiognomist told me that instead of gaining pursuers, I will be involved in gossip this year!” Kenneth decided that his plan will be to talk less and work more.

Kenneth has flawless skin in that picture…maybe with a touch of photoshop. I cannot wait to watch OC2!!
too much light..even the white dog is almost invisible.
Kenneth sounds like a very humble and down-to-earth guy who have very deep thoughts (and maybe think too much as well). I’d like to spend a day with him.
RLF Lover,
Kenneth can make the ladies laugh if he chooses to with his witty humor. However, his comments on dating reveals his lack of proactive measures to find a girlfriend. He may be best classified as the “couch potato” guy waiting for the woman to chase after him.
agree. kenneth sounds very humble! don’t be too humble kenneth! a lot of girls are willing to be with you! you don’t get your nickname as ‘diamond bachelor’ and ‘housewife’ killer now for nothing! 🙂
Not a night …….. just joking!
I think maybe he think these girls are not pretty enough for him ,am I right?
Wow, that conclusion seems very sudden and out of nowhere, not that I’m trying to be offensive but since you asked…First off, Natalie Tong is a model and also in my opinion she is very pretty. Then we have Eliza Sam who is currently and constantly being called “goddess” by many. Plus, Kenneth said so himself that Eliza is cute and being cute is usually enough to attract someone. And Rebecca Zhu was a Miss Hong Kong 2011…Kenneth also said himself that “All the girls within the industry are beautiful” and since all 3 girls are in the industry I think it’s enough evidence to say that your conclusion is incorrect? Again, I’m just answering your question.
I think maybe those girls do not like Kenneth Ma.
kenneth is getting more and more handsome everyday. his skin looks great now! 🙂
You do know that the picture above has been photoshopped right? His skin was pretty bad in Season of Love even with all the make-up, but probably better now with the skincare ad.
kenneth has a lot of craters on his face
They’re “all” underground. 🙂
Zzz… wish him all the best….zzz|
Kennth is a simple guy who does not like to get involved in triangle love relationships. Happy for him!
Kenneth is so Hott!!
There are many fishes in the ocean, Charmaine, Kate, Myolie etc. Aren’t they currently single?
‘Kenneth further revealed that girls outside the industry show no interest in him’. This isn’t correct! Bet there’s heaps of fan girls who would die to be his girlfriend lol he just hasn’t found the right girl outside the industry yet.
Also i don’t get what was so good about his character in The Hippocratic Crush. I personally thought it was mediocre and kind of boring. I liked his character in Three Kingdoms RPG and Tiger Cubs much better. He’s so good in comedy and badass roles.
it sounds weird to have kenneth win the best actor award before LF, ron and bosco. but satisfied he’s finally getting recognized!
yea…it would be a interesting…but look like TVB has no other chose for Best Actor…Bosco, Raymond are focus on China market this year…Ron??? have to see how he act in Triumph in the Skies 2 , but Kenneth has two drama, both Triumph in the Skies 2 and On CAll 2….well, I am not fans of any of them…but all of them work hard…and deserve them chance from TVB!
I doubt Kenneth would get best actor this year. He’s not the lead in triumph in the skies 2 and his reprisal as Dr Cheung would have lesser scenes to accomodate Lawrence and the other new characters in on call. maybe next time Kenneth!
Gah entered the wrong email address. This avatar is better
seriously… ron is a contender for best actor?!?!??! are you serious LOL biggest joke ever
amoung those three girls, i love Natalie Tong (唐詩詠) the most…hope she can find a good man…and look like Ken is a good man…hope they can go in real!!!!
I hope he is dating someone in secret!
Guys like this who never ask girls out will remain single for a long time.
it sounds like kenneth will just settle for a girl… probably not someone that he is deeply in love with since when asked about his ideal significant other, he doesn’t ask for too much.
frankly he not only desired by gals also kind of gay icon..if he can’t get the right girls he welcome to cross to other side..lol
Okay, gotta make connections with Kenneth’s mom so she can introduce me to him.
