Raymond Lam is Officially Married!
On New Year’s Eve, 40-year-old Raymond Lam (林峯) announced that he has married his girlfriend of nearly two years, 29-year-old Carina Zhang (張馨月).
“In my 2019, I have stepped into a new stage in my life,” Raymond wrote on Weibo. “In the years ahead, I’ll have you with me. My wife Carina Zhang thanks everyone for their blessings. We are grateful to have you in the road with us. See you in 2020.”
The couple did not reveal the time and place of their wedding. Raymond’s cousin, fellow actress Rosina Lam (林夏薇), was tight-lipped about the wedding location when she was asked by the Hong Kong media. She said, “I already knew about [the marriage]. We celebrated the winter solstice and Christmas Eve together. Congratulations to them and they are in my blessings! Wish them forever happiness! As for other news [related to the wedding], you’re going to have to wait for his response!”

40, no spring chicken la.
@m0m0 why u so mean to newly wed?
@jingxi2943
Exactly that was an uncalled for shot at Raymond.
@anon
Exactly but haters got to hate.
@hetieshou
Not hater just feel that he’s narcissistic. Announcing ones wedding the last day of the year like it’s a big event in 2019. I am sure that this wedding will be mentioned when people review entertainment events for 2019. I think he’s such an attention grabber that he had to choose 12/31. Everyone knew he had a girlfriend, he said he was marrying soon but he married and then made the anouncement on a day when people r celebrating the new year. It’s like he’s trying to grab as much attention as possible. I find this act cheap.
@m0m0 Well he sure did grab your attention! He can share the news whenever he wants and his fans will be happy for him. If you’re so busy celebrating the new year, then why do you care?
@m0m0
How is he narcissistic? He is an actor and singer so of course he craves and wants attention. One of the reasons that celebrities become a celebrity is to get attention.
@m0m0 no different than Zhao Li Ying and William Feng announce their pregnancy on the first day of the year. Everyone knew they were pregnant but they remained silent, even lying about it blatantly. It’s just celebrities’s ways to grab attention and be relevant. Because let’s face this, if you want to announce, any day would be fine, but to choose a specific big day, you are kinda scheming and pretentious
@littlefish
The obvious TVB examples are Wong Cho Lam proposing live on TVB Anniversary Show if i remember correctly, Ruco wedding announcement and the wedding deal to fully covered by TVB. Think Edwin and Priscilla announced they were already married just before the TVB anniversary. The people from the entertainment circle just have in their mind, increase fame and accumulate quick money…
@jimmyszeto Edwin announced their marriage during TVB awards ceremony. I thought it was so sweet. If you watch the video, Edwin was so nervous and Priscilla said enough…this is an awards ceremony haha
@littlefish dont understand how making a happy announcement on a “specific big day is scheming & pretentious.” It’s not like their announcing that theyre getting married at someone else’s wedding, now that would be rude. But it’s NYE/NY, nothing wrong with sharing some happy news
@luye
Of course it’s a strategy and it’s pretentious and limelight stealing!!!! Christmas and New Year are dedicated to our families. It’s not Raymond Lam day. He has plenty of days to announce it beforehand as he pleases…
@jimmyszeto honestly, it wouldve made headlines regardless of whichever day he made the announcement
@luye Exactly! and esp he’s LAM FUNG that everyone loves? haha Lol… To me he’s just another actor but yes he’s loved by some many fans any day is a day they will make a fuss anyway. lol…. I would be more shocked if they don’t pick specific days as I think people who are into social media loves sharing/REVEALING everything anyway. What fun would it be if they announced it on a regular day?
@jimmyszeto aiya.. not everyone like you who would announce marriage or happy events at funeral or in funeral homes ah
@jingxi2943
Show some respect, idiot! New year is day for family. Weddings are generally announced before it happens or when it happens. Not we will marry then wait till it favours me so I can steal the limelight and choose a festive day to announce it. Don’t you think there is a bit of scheming if someone marries and then lives a married life for a period of time then announces it on a festive day?
@jimmyszeto @m0m0 Please re-read his message. His message is about 2019 and 2020, totally fit the theme of new year. And he announced in the afternoon, before everyone can sit and enjoy the new year eve. 31 Dec’s afternoon is still normal working day in Hongkong and many other countries.
If it was a tactic, he should choose 0:00 of the new year to announce and steal some more limelight.
On 29 November, he has a weibo announced their relationship. So that day is a festive day or not? No, right? So everyday can be that day, it is just a normal weibo post. It isn’t that he didn’t post for years and then choose that day to have a weibo.
Btw, on that day, Han Geng got married and there are New Year shows. If he wants limelight, should him choose someday else with nothing special. It is a better way to get more attention.
Don’t be too mean even when you hate him so much.
@luye he can also announce it like a week before new year, but he didn’t? Or a week after, but he didn’t? You can share happy new during the festive season, but don’t need to be right on the dot? You can call it smart strategy or scheming, amount to the same thing really. Anyway, imma bet they will announce the pregnancy on lunar new year lol
@littlefish no big deal, Fred and Steph announced their engagement right when the clock struck 12:00 on Jan 1st
@littlefish I remember that. That “big” announcement was annoying and attention seeking. Its not a big deal to be pregnant and have a shot gun wedding but they kept denying and lying to the public. SMH.
@m0m0 I think it’s great publicity. Big event in 2019 and 2020, how is that narcissistic? I am not a fan of Ray Lam, but i find his big announcement is smart.
Congrats Ray Lam!
@jingxi2943
Exactly but I am not shocked as many here are so mean about the age issue when it comes to marriage and kids. I find it so sad and old school. Even my late parents who were traditional and old fashioned were not like that. Haters just got to hate.
My aunt and cousin married at 42 and 43 with no kids but are blissful and happily married. It varies but people should not allow age stop them from being happy. Even if you do marry young and have kids, you can divorce or widow so life is not always so smooth sailing even if you do marry and have kids. Life is not so simple.
@hetieshou
I never said people have to married at a certain age. People get married even at 80 that’s fine. The problem I have is that he’s making such big deal in regards to the timing he made the announcement that he’s married. Could have announced it the day of instead of trying to make the headlines. It’s almost like people wouldn’t remember it happened in 2019
@m0m0
To be fair, it is not just Raymond but many celebrities are like this. They make a big deal out of the smallest things. However, it is not just the celebrities that make things a big deal out of things but the fans and public.
@m0m0 it is their big dsy so what makes it wrong for them to announce their very special event to their fans and people who are happy for them?
Hard to please everyone.
Do they need to approval of haters? If they wait a little longer to make announcement, haters will also have nasty comments.
@m0m0 It’s nothing compare to Maria Menounos, who got married on live TV just before midnight during Fox’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, now that’s over the top.
@m0m0 it is big deal la. Are u planning on announcing your own wedding (if you’re lucky as the) on April 1 and holding dinner banquet at McDonald’s?
@jingxi2943
I don’t think I’d be the only one with this opinion. Also not a big deal that he’s married or not.
@jingxi2943
Funny how you mention the wedding reception at McDonalds as my cousin made a joke about that before. My best friend and I talked about how funny it was and how the dishes with be hamburgers, chicken Mc nuggets,and other stuff while the cake would be apple pie and the wedding favor is a happy meal toy. I can totally imagine how funny yet cute and economical that would be.
@hetieshou here’s a video about McDonald’s wedding

@luye
Wow, thanks soooo much! That was really cute and fun to watch. My buddy and I were only joking about it but I cannot believe that people actually did it. My cousin joked about it too. So interesting!
@m0m0 lol… haha and this where ” Timing ” comes into effect. He was w the other Karina longer but this is 2 years but seems much shorter and he hit 40 so timing is perfect if nothing else.
@wm2017 or a bun in the oven!
@littlefish you could be right about that. I think this is the reason they’re rushing to get married imagine in about a week or 2 you will have a news saying she’s pregnant just wait to see. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Lam.
Congratulations to Raymond Lam. I felt sorry when he dated the materialistic Karena Ng. He finally picked the right choice to marry such as sweet, pretty, simple and down-to-earth Carina who did not even mind to have a wedding without big celebrations.
This Carina Zhang is prettier than the other Karena Ng
@orchid123 how do you know Karena is materialistic, but Carina isnt?
@luye Carina herself was born in a rich family.
From her weibo, I can see that Carina is a sweet, nice, well-educated girl. Even to the hatred messages, she does nothing and keep everything easy, just focus on her life and happiness.
@alluka I don’t know if she comes with money but I can never understand why she got so much hate while she was dating RL. haha LOL… I mean yes, she had alot of brand names but what did they expect when she’s dating a rich bf? right? I think even if she carries an 20 bucks H&M bag, they would still find ways to say something else. I find her matured even thou she was supposedly 19/20 when she first dated him esp how she was calm and collected while reporter telling her your bf was saying i love you 6/7 times to her on tv. She wasn’t giddy and overly bragging about it like they would at that age. So I don’t understand why people dislike her that much. She’s a bit too skinny but I think she’s actually quite cute.
@wm2017 Isnt Karena a actor & model? So why do people assume she cant afford her own things? It’s so judgmental when women are labeled “gold-digger” for dating someone rich
@luye I know, I don’t understand either. lol…haha… People either love or hate and in her case I guess most people just hate her period. ahaha….If she is really gold digs and dug deeper perhaps she would have had a ring on her finger or popped out those babies like Isabella Leong w/o a ring on her finger but instead when she replied to reporters she stressed she was still very YOUNG when asked about love life and she still is very young. Not everyone is in a hurry. haha
@wm2017
Just because you date or marry someone rich means you need to splurge and buy expensive name brands. Andy Lau makes millions but his wife is very simple and thrifty. It just depends on the person.
@orchid123
Well none of us know for sure if this Carina is less materialistic than the other one. It feels like this Carina is not as materialistic as the other Karena but you never know.
@hetieshou and luye
Which girl does not like to have a grand and luxurious wedding with big receptions, especially Raymond is such a rich and well-known actor and singer? His dad is Xiamen’s Lee Ka Sing. However, she is happily married to Raymond with just official registration.
I admire her for her love and faith in Raymond. She was happy with a diamond wedding ring and an announcement.
As per media reporting, Karena always brought back tons of expensive designers’ bags and stuffs whenever she went on trips with Raymond. Her parents even lived in the apartment purchased (or rented) by Raymond. However, there was nothing like this reported by the media on Carina.
Of course I don’t know either one of them. Just got the news from media reporting.
