Michelle Ye Clarifies Relationship with Raymond Lam
Michelle Ye (葉璇) made an appearance on iCable’s celebrity talk show Star Chatroom <星級會客室> recently and spoke about her Loved in the Purple <紫钗奇缘> co-star Raymond Lam (林峯).
The two first collaborated in 2002’s Eternal Happiness <再生緣>. Their excellent on-screen chemistry ignited dating rumors. Many fans supported the idea and hoped to see them as a real-life couple. Taking advantage of the popularity of their pairing, TVB quickly reunited Michelle and Raymond in Lofty Waters, Verdant Bow <雲海玉弓緣> in the very same year.
During the interview, which is scheduled to air on August 10, Michelle clarified that she has never dated Raymond and stated the two maintain a strictly professional relationship. “We haven’t seen or contacted each other in ten years, but we understand each other well while on set. Raymond likes to joke around and call me ‘boss’.”
Winner of Miss Chinese International in 1999, Michelle felt that Raymond had the most potential out of all the male artists who debuted around the same time. When Raymond finally achieved his dream of holding a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Michelle was so happy for her friend she even cried.
Last year, Michelle’s production studio made a large investment in mainland drama series, Loved in the Purple. Certain about Raymond’s talent and professionalism, Michelle recruited him with an 8-digit salary. Reflecting on her choice, Michelle thinks it was not expensive at all and believes Raymond deserves every penny.

Even if they are not lovers in real life, it is great that they can still be good friends and colleagues. If you can’t be together romantically, being good friends for life is not bad either…
Michelle look really matured and old
I would rather they end up as couple in real life and that they would slow down to take care of their family since they are now very well off. Their friendship is important as a glue to their deeper relationship. I wish they will end as one… Maybe this is just a wishful thinking becoz we saw how they are paired in eternal happiness. I hope in real life each one will be the destiny of the other. Life in earth is not long. Popularity will also wane. What is most important is that they are happy together and I hope it will be as a family because they look good as a couple.
It’s a shame that they aren’t a real life couple. They are just so cute together.
But real life and on screen are 2 different worlds. At least they are good friends in real life and at times that is even better than being lovers.
i wish she elaborated more why she thinks he is the one with post potential who debuted during that time.
I don’t recall any other guys who debut at that time. Ron, Bosco, etc. didn’t get lead roles til a few years after. I guess Raymond and Michelle were the golden couple then for the younger generation.
Raymond immediately filmed A Step into Past with a fairly big role and also did very well. I can see why Michelle sees potential in him at that time.
There’s also a chance where she’s just saying that now since he made it big.
sorry “post” should be “most”
Counting the days to seeing their new series!
LF LOVE Fung!
They are both so superficial…
She may be lying through her teeth for all we know…
She’s too good for him
She is too old for him.
Ray was born in 1979 while she was born in 1980 so she younger than him.
Michelle is younger than Raymond. I don’t get people’s obsession with youth. These two are ten times the actor/actress they were ten years ago.
They had good chemistry in EH but Michelle is way too independent for Raymond.
