Maggie Shiu Ends 6-Year Romance With Vincent Sze
Maggie Shiu (邵美琪) and martial arts star, Vincent Sze (施祖男), announced that they have ended their six-year relationship. Gossip magazines reported that Vincent, who is younger than Maggie by ten years, had cheated with another woman. The pair issued a joint statement and admitted that they had broken up, but silenced defamatory rumors over the cause of the split.
Meeting on the set of Johnnie To‘s (杜琪峯) Tactical Unit – Comrades in Arm <機動部隊—同袍>, Vincent aggressively pursued Maggie. Vincent soon moved into Maggie’s apartment and they maintained a low-profile romance over the years. Last year, the couple was even rumored to have gotten married. Although she denied the news, the 49-year-old actress always glowed in happiness when discussing Vincent.
Tabloids Claim Vincent Cheated
It came as a surprise when Maggie and Vincent’s relationship ended abruptly. Tabloids claim that while Maggie was filming in Mainland China, Vincent had cheated with another woman. After a heated argument, Maggie demanded for a breakup and asked Vincent to pack his bags and go back to France.
Although Vincent hoped that Maggie would eventually change her mind, an insider revealed that Maggie was firm in her decision to end the relationship.
Maggie and Vincent’s Joint Statement
Responding to the damaging speculations over their split, Maggie and Vincent wrote in a joint statement,”We believe in fate. There is no need to think too much over the incident. Our breakup was due to personal reasons, and does not involve a financial [dispute] nor third party. We will no longer respond to any subsequent inquires over the matter. Hopefully, our hard efforts will continue to receive everyone’s support. We will always remain as friends and support each other.”

Very sad for her. She always seem unlucky in love. Hope she will find someone soon who will cherish and take care of her.
At her age, now she really is going to be leftover woman………nobody pursues a woman at her age. Such a shame.
maggie needs to lower her standard and go for an older man and perhaps foreign men. They love taking leftover Asian women.
This is the sad reality that dramas/movies don’t show you. Age gap relationships (esp. when the woman is older) are hard to sustain unless both people are at the same stage in life and the same level of maturity. A man who’s still fooling around at Vincent Sze’s age is never going to see the error of his ways.
Feel sorry for her. Hope she will find someone who appreciate her.
an older woman is usually at the losing end of a relationship.
Yep. They’ll start noticing younger women or wanting kids after swearing that they don’t.
Younger men pursue aggressively, claiming they like mature women…then have change of heart and cook up some excuse after that for breaking up.
Maggie is an experienced actress. She was with ekin for so long…sad.
Uhhh…aren’t we all generalising ? I know couples who are still together despite their age gap difference.not all younger men in the relationship change hearts and turn to younger women eventually. And if they do change hearts because of the reasons like finding the younger more attractive or wanting to have kids etc. for the cause of breakup well then he just ain’t worth it. No matter how long they’ve been, if he turns out to be not the one, then it’d be better to separate than to forcfully continue the relationship just because her so called ‘time is running out’. Going through breakups aren’t the best feelings in the world and aren’t easy to get through, but it’d be worse to waste time on a man and feel the need to be in a pointless relationship. There are other things that time and energy can be spent on.
Well said lahla, it just varies from couple to couple. I feel bad for Maggie since she has had a rough love life. I thought she finally found someone who she can be with for the rest of her life. I guess not this time but still hope she finds the love of her life soon. But if not,I sure hope she can still find happiness because not everyone needs to get married in order to be happy.
Yeah I would feel bad for her if he turned out to be a jerk and had a third party, but since both denied then we can only assume they parted because they weren’t meant for each other. Not being in a relationship or not considering marriage is not the end of life LOLOL it’s funny how society immediately panicks for women when they’re not in relationships and thinks it’s wrong to be single or that these women are living sad lives.
“it’s funny how society immediately panicks for women when they’re not in relationships and thinks it’s wrong to be single or that these women are living sad lives”
Totally agree!!
Maybe Maggie Shiu doesn’t want to be stuck with “Freeloader” Vincent Sze anymore?
For the most part, it’s like if a man is single, he is often considered a “bachelor”, but when a woman is single, she is considered a desperate or unlucky soul looool.
@Lahlahs
“For the most part, it’s like if a man is single, he is often considered a “bachelor”, but when a woman is single, she is considered a desperate or unlucky soul looool.”
This is the message what the media is trying to convey to the public, and many people are influenced by the media’s message. Although a single man is called a “bachelor” in a nice way, he is not less desperate for love than a single woman. I feel that guys generally have more desires for you know what than ladies in general do. So the single and lonely guys can be very desperate and unlucky too if they can’t find their love partners.
Ehhh well if that’s the case, they have nothing to lose when it comes to picking who they love. Cus eventually it’ll all end up poorly for the older woman.
Comparative to men, IF a relationship was based on looks, YES, a woman is definitely on the losing end in package. Limited shelf life, with biological clock for children (if desired) too.
“Love of your life” is over-rated.
Many long term marriages and relationships just exist. The couple has long stopped caring for each other, or even have different interests/lives.
You can see such families all the time at food courts.
Husband relaxed and buried in his iphone/ipad/newspaper … wife slowly going crazy feeding active baby while trying to stop the other two kids from fighting and hitting each other.
Or husband and wife sitting there, both not talking to each other, and staring into seperate space with zero communication.
Happy? Maybe 1 out of 7 days
Worth it? Especially since as pointed out (@ Rainbow) = the males normally have higher daily needs and drive … as opposed to women – who feel sexier and perform better when they feel connected and loved.
*Ooops wrong reply, srry!
Meant to reply to 2 posts above.
Hope she find someone who love and appreciate her.
I feel sorry for her. I thought she has finally found someone she can spend the rest of her life with. But, it ended with nothing again. 🙁
Well she still has all the good memories I would believe. Don’t think people should regret anything that made them genuinely smile or feel happy, even if it was a short while.
It worked for some but not all ie Hong Yan who was a single mother with an illegitimate son who married a man 10 years her junior, Kathy Chow & Nadia Chan are also with partners who are atleast 7years younger than them. Well let’s just hope for the best. I really like Maggie a lot.
Nadia Chan – only 7 years? I thought it was somewhere over 10 years as well? The guy certainly looks way younger.
I heard that Nadia chan’s husband was 12 years younger than her which was why her family did not approve at first. But she eventually touched their hearts so they accepted her in spite of the age gap.
Personally I think a 12-year gap is too big for a woman in a marriage. When she has her menopause (around age 55) and her husband is still in early 40s, it will be hard on the relationship. It is okay the other way round.

It happens all the time. After I post a message, it is not displayed on the topic. I assumed that it was not picked up and re-posted the same message. Then they became duplicates.
Why would it be hard of the relationship though ?? Lol it all depends on the couple. Every couple is different, Good communication and understanding of each other would definitely be factors of a lasting relationship I could imagine. Age gap doesn’t always mean that two people would have total different mind sets, beliefs and values.
Yep I heard that about Nadia Chen its more then 7years gap but as long as she’s happy and the guy really does love her who cares about the difference!!! Overall brining up Nadia I do miss her in TVB

What I’ve noticed is that *in general* successful men do not seek out older women (older as in a LOT older… +/- 3 years is basically the same age). I would bet that the male partners in these stable relationships are less well known and/or earn less than the female partners.
I thought their relationship ended years ago and I read it somewhere that Vincent Sze cheated on her with another younger girl. Anyway, I hope she will soon find happiness with someone who deserves her.
Maggie deserves better. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Feel sorry for Maggie Shiu. She does not seem to have luck in her love life. She hasn’t had too many relatinships in her life, but each one lasted for a long time, such as with Jonathan Chik (??), Ekin Cheng, someone else, and Vincent Sze. None of them could last.
Wish her all the best in her future love life. She is an excellent actress and looks good for her age. I like her acting a lot better now than when she was young.
I only remember about Ekin Cheng who dumped her after quite a long time. That was the saddest one I know since she was popular back then right and he was just TV star until he hit big w/movies n that was when he got w/that Gigi woman even dumped that one too.
Sad…and she looks better than most of her series up there.
Well…at least she knows now that he’s not the white Knight and its good that’s she found out I mean if it wasnt meant to be then its not!!! Maggie hope u do find real love soon!!!
Nadia & hubby has an 8 years gap not 12. Yes it’s true our society places importance on the status of a woman. It seems like she has to be attached to be happy but again I agreed that it’s not necessarily the case. Woman can be single and happy too. To each it’s own I guess. But of course given the choice it’s nice to have a loved one around to share your joy, tears & laughter.
Along with the single women must be incompletely unhappy and of course lonely … there are also just as many wives who are unhappy.
There can be loneliness even while in a relationship with disconnected lack of communication and understanding.
Married or attached and too afraid to leave (face or financial reasons) … choosing to stay trapped and unhappy in disconnected relationships. And despite the ‘farce’ – also obliged to fulfill the duties of a marriage including sex on demand and housekeeping.
If they’re sick – they handle everything themselves too, with no support or care from partner.
Comparing the two, the latter is comparatively worse = no peace of mind, independence or freedom on top of it.
‘Single’, but within a marriage. What’s the point?
In your last question, Joan Lin can write a comprehensive book on it.
Aha, but Joan Lin has her own agenda.
She’s iron woman CFO in charge of all his finances and earnings. Some women get their kicks that way.
Maggie is low key classy with her breakup.
Afterall even if she came clean with everything he did, she still has to deal with it herself. No need to bare the sordid details to the gossipy public and media, esp since he’s such a small unknown too.
In all the wkend Chinese mags this part wkend was the news he had cheated whenever she was out of town, and used everything of hers – her home, her car to pick up girls.
Most young unsuccessful men are just looking for a sugar mama to milk. She should just settle for a part time lover instead, aka gigolo. It’s a lot cheaper and don’t have to worry about the emotional stress on oneself. That’s what she gets for being superficial. Thought she learn from her past mistake with Ekin Cheng. Ekin was smart, milk her dry and dumped her once he became famous and went for someone younger.
Very true, that’s why I am surprised that he actually married that yoyo woman. hahah lol… I mean you would think he’s the unmarried kind dumping one after another. I am still scratching my head how how got famous as well.
“Freeloader” Vincent Sze is fugly. Maggie Shiu could “definitely” do better if she has a good personality.
Agree, on the fugly. Nevermind fugle – pretty uncool overall packaging which can salvage fugly.
When I first saw his picture and then read all that nonsense that followed his picture (ie the cheating behind her back, and using all her stuff) = I was like, and what was she thinking to have taken him on, in the first place?!?
Unless he’s Mr Super Personality, which he doesn’t appear to be, either. He actually thought she would take him back supposedly.
Maggie, u r a beautiful, intelligent, confident and generous woman. Ur family, friends and as ur fan, together we ache w/ u during this major life crisis. We feel ur pain. You need to take proper care of yourself. But do not cocoon yourself and focus on your inner pain and allow everything else in your life to fall by the wayside. It’s not healthy.
You need to take back your life in small steps. You need to start living again. Don’t think you need to do this alone. Talk to family and friends as you are not isolated and alone. Perhaps you may want to seek out experts on the subject. There are support groups just waiting to help you.
I bid u much health, longevity, happiness and prosperity for many years to come. U will find a soulmate and or life mate after all. Don’t give up! What u r going’ thru right now is just a phase and u will emerge stronger and learn to love yourself more.
You must know that everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you. Do not spend time doubting your worth; do not use every moment to criticize yourself bc u’ll be throwing a moment of ur life away and a second of ur life wasted.
Please remember this: you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.
U r a diamond much sought after!
Vincent is Ugly. She deserved way better. She is my all time fav actress! Hope find happiness and love soon!
Agree. She is also my all time fav actress! Hope she find her love and happiness soon! May the best for her!
