Ron Ng is Fed Up with Dating
Often labeled as TVB’s wild child due to his spending habits and playboy personality, Ron Ng (吳卓羲) has seen a fair share of criticism and negative press throughout his 12-year acting career. Since the broadcast of his new drama Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲宵II>, Ron has presented a different, more mature side of himself. The 33-year-old recently spoke at length about his changing values, and debunked his biggest relationship rumors to date.
Ron Finally Buys a House
As a young man who quickly came into money and fame in the 2000s, Ron indulged himself with a materialistic lifestyle. He reportedly spent much of his savings on expensive watches and cars, building up an impressive collection. Luckily, Ron finally came to his senses and invested his money in real estate instead. He recently purchased a 1,200 square feet residence at Sham Tseng’s Bellagio towers, which comes with a beautiful bay view and a $8.63 million HKD price tag. When asked for his reasons to purchase the luxury condo, Ron explained, “It is a 35-minute drive to TVB, and I will definitely get to Tsim Sha Tsui within 15 to 20 minutes! I really like the view. I can see the water and Tsing Ma Bridge. It is great! My mother has wanted me to purchase property ever since I was young. She feels that even if I get fired from my job, I would always have a roof over my head!”
Ron shared that he currently lives with his mother at their new home, and that he has learned to appreciate family time. “I was more rebellious when I was younger, and liked to go against authority. Now that I am older I realized that I will never mature if I continue to behave that way. Nowadays I do my best to fulfill my parents’ wishes. I would give them money if they want to buy things. I don’t care if they lose all of the money playing mahjong. I just want them to be happy!”
When asked if his mother has urged him to get married, Ron said that she had once asked him if he had considered marriage. Ron replied that he had, and since then Mrs. Ng no longer brings up the subject. Although many of Ron’s close friends have married and established their own families, Ron is in no hurry to join his peers. When speaking about his past dating history, Ron expressed frustration at the dating process and decided to pull himself entirely out of the game.
Rumored Love Interests
Addressing his recent rumors with Triumph co-star Kelly Fu (傅嘉莉), Ron clarified, “It is ridiculous! I have seen the reports. They said [Kelly] and I are together and have just started dating. I don’t want to discuss things that are not true. I can only thank her for helping to promote our new drama. She and I will never be romantically involved, whether in the past, present, or future. We are only colleagues!”
When asked about his past rumor with Sire Ma (馬賽), who reportedly lived together with Ron in her own property. Ron said “[The reports about] Sire Ma are even worse! It’s not like I can’t afford to rent my own place!” Another gossip claimed that Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) gifted Ron with luxury watches. Ron quipped, “In my dreams! Tell [Charmaine] to hurry up and give them to me! All I can say is, everything I own today was bought with my own hard-earned money!”
Ron has recently proclaimed that he is single and has voluntarily pulled himself off the dating market. He wants to focus on his career, and that as a man, he can still date and marry in the future regardless of his age. When asked whether he would date someone within the entertainment industry, Ron seemed repelled by the idea. “We would have nothing to talk about at home! All we can talk about is acting. I already know the ins and outs of filming, no need for you to tell me more about it! Or should we sit around and gossip about other artists? Of course I wouldn’t completely say no to dating within the industry… female artists are also women. Women need you to spend time accompanying them. If, for example, the last day of filming happens to fall upon her birthday, that is major trouble brewing! It is already tough to spare just two hours from filming to attend an event; it would be even harder to make time for dating!”
Ron further explained that he dislikes clinginess, and finds that some women may not be able to understand his personality and ways of thinking. “[Dating] is very annoying. I personally keep many thoughts deep within me, and would only talk about them after they have been heavily filtered. Women who date me tend to think that I keep myself hidden, and feel like they can’t fully understand me. This is how problems start. They would say, ‘You don’t tell me anything. You must not love me!’ I am very focused when I work. I don’t like it when others ask me what time I will get off of work… I don’t like it when others intervene. I say I am working, but they would not believe me. Ron Ng does not like to give explanations! Maybe they should wait until my drama airs and then I can point out exactly which scenes I was filming on which particular days? I really can’t understand this. Maybe the timing just isn’t right!”

Ron: “They would say, ‘You don’t tell me anything. You must not love me!’”
Ron must be referring to Viann Zhang, as their relationship spats were for all to see. She also asked him to prove his love in other ways, such as announcing their relationship publicly.
I have a feeling and now that Ron mentions how he dislikes clinginess, I am not shocked that he and Viann did not last because we all know how clingy she was. It seems like Ron has matured a lot and I really hope that he will find a good girl that will understand and love him in the future.
i’m surprised they even lasted 2 years with her clinginess
HeTieShou,
Perhaps Ron’s way of expressing love is physical rather than verbal.
I can see that he tried very hard with Viann, even risking his career. This relationship did a lot of damage to his image.
Jayne,
I think you may be right that Ron may like to use actions rather than just words to show his love. I know that he tried hard with Viann, but with her I am guessing it was more of the physical attraction he had with her rather than the emotional level which can be another reason why they did not last. The good thing is, I think he learned a lot from that dating experience and has matured from it as well…
HeTieShou,
“but with her I am guessing it was more of the physical attraction he had with her rather than the emotional level which can be another reason why they did not last.”
I think the long distance killed the relationship. Viann was needy and with the long distance separation, she probably was suspicious of what he was doing while he was not with her. He felt that he had to “report” his actions, which he may have conceded but in the end, Viann still decided to break up with him.
I think Viann’s clinginess is what makes Ron resorts to dating multiple girls casually online and that’s where his secrets of sending sexy pictures to girls revealed. So girls, here’s the lesson. If you are too clingy your boyfriend he might grt fedup with you and find another source of entertainment.
Jayne,
I think you may be partially right and yes, long distance is hard for any relationship. However, I think even if Ron and her were closer by, and she is that insecure, she would be too clingy and that would irritate him too.
Ron seems to be rumored with almost every girl from all his series. Feel sorry for him. That’s a very appropriate picture for the story, by the way.
I was thinking the same… He looks really tired and grumpy in that photo which fits this article perfectly.
The chosen picture is so perfect for the title of the article. 😀
Kidd,
🙂 I had another photo in mind of Ron pouting. Maybe next time when he complains more about his dating experiences.
I want to hear how Ron managed to get himself involved with two girls who claimed he’s their boyfriend last year when he was at that time still with Viann. That would be interesting.
I think women are clingy when they feel not secure.
It’s Viann’s own clinginess that made Ron befriended the two girls that claimed they’re his girlfriend last year and destroyed Ron’s reputation. I would say it all started from Viann. You can’t expect too much from your boyfriend or control him like a freak, the boyfriend might feel suffocated and finding easy way out to get away from a clingy and controllig girlfriend. Feel sorry for Ron.
You can feel his anger while reading this article.
I sort of LOL at the watch and Charmaine bit!
Finally he has matured ….good for him. Hope his career will get better from now. I think he needs an independent woman…haha…
I think he needs to date a woman who’s mentality is mature, age does not matter. When I’m involved with someone I don’t need to know what they’re doing 24/7, I don’t need to know who they hang out with either. It’s all about trust, which is something he and the women he dated lacks.
Exactly, and that’s why Ron and Viann can’t last. She’s too demanding and has no trust in him and forbids him from having female friends. I guess this is why Ron took it to online chatroom to find girls who can make him happy for that moment and sweet talk with him, I can imagine that Viann is an insecure control freak at home.
I was thinking the same thoughts as Austin. Trust and communication is so important in any relation we have with anyone, not just love relationships.
I def feel Ron in the last paragraph as I am someone who keeps everything to myself. But, that’s where trust issues come up. Ron seems like he has matured quite a bit. That’s good.
Did Ron really say all these things if so he should have said his fed up with all the negative news around him once Ron starts to get popular again he will get more made up negative news about him
I think Ron acting has improved a lot. He is quite funny in TITS2. Is quite enjoyable to watch his scenes and interactions with other
fadans and siu sangs.
Glad to know that Ron has matured after his turbulent career and relationships. He is also quite funny to watch in TITS2, his expressions and body language are not as wooden as all his previous series. I guess Francis Ng brought out the best in him.
Ron is doing great in Triumph in the Skies 2! He is sooo funny.I think he is doing a better job than Kenneth.
Well, Ron can always resort back to phone sex and texting dirty pictures of himself.
It’s a lot more efficient in terms of time and money. LOL!
“and that as a man, he can still date and marry in the future regardless of his age.”
You know… even though I am a man I still find this comment gets under my skin. The arrogance is stifling.
