Hong Kong screen icon Rosamund Kwan has publicly denied rumours that she is dating a male model who is 35 years younger, putting an end to days of online speculation that had spread rapidly across Chinese social media.
The dating rumours attracted widespread attention after claims surfaced that the pair had met earlier this year and quickly entered into a relationship. However, the veteran actress has now clarified that the reports are false.
Romance Rumours Began After Fabric Exhibition
The speculation began after online posts claimed that the 63-year-old actress met a young model identified as Johan during a fabric exhibition in Guangzhou in May.
According to the rumours, Kwan had attended the event to source materials for her sleepwear brand. It was alleged that the pair spoke for around seven minutes before exchanging contact details and eventually began dating just days later.
The gossip gained even more traction after claims circulated online that the model’s manager had acknowledged the relationship shortly after they met.
Wealth and 35-Year Age Gap Fuelled Discussion
The rumoured relationship quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity topics on Chinese social media, largely due to the reported 35-year age difference between the pair.
Online discussions also focused on Kwan’s considerable wealth, with reports claiming she owns assets worth billions of New Taiwan dollars and lives in a luxury residence in Hong Kong’s prestigious Mid-Levels district.
Some social media users questioned the younger man’s intentions, while others urged the public not to jump to conclusions before hearing from the actress herself.
Rosamund Kwan Responds Personally
After remaining silent as the rumours spread, Kwan addressed the speculation through a post on her official Weibo account.
She thanked fans for their concern before making it clear that the dating rumours were untrue.
In her statement, she wrote that she appreciated everyone checking on her but said the widely circulated reports about her romantic relationship were not true, while thanking supporters for their concern.
Her response effectively put an end to the speculation, with many fans expressing relief that she had personally clarified the matter.
Fans Welcome Actress’s Clarification
Following Kwan’s statement, many supporters took to social media to express their support, with some criticising the rapid spread of unverified celebrity rumours online.
While celebrity gossip frequently becomes a trending topic on Chinese social media platforms, Kwan’s direct response has helped settle the matter, making it clear that she is not in a relationship with the younger model despite the widespread speculation.
