Andy Lau’s girl moves out after wedding is called off


CAROL Chu, the long-time Malaysian girlfriend of Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau, has moved out of their luxury bungalow in Hong Kong after their much talked-about wedding was called off last month, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Lau, who keeps a low profile about his relationship with Chu, had reportedly arranged for her to be away for awhile following intense media coverage of the run-up to their wedding, scheduled for April, that was supposed to have been held in Kuala Lumpur.

The daily reported that the singer-actor decided to tie the knot with Chu, who had been with him for 24 years.

Chu’s family had also reportedly “pressured” Lau to marry her after his world-tour concert concluded at the end of April.

However, the wedding was called off because of the media frenzy, the daily reported. It is believed that Lau was afraid of his fans’ reaction to his marriage.

Major Chinese dailies also reported that veteran Hong Kong actress Lisa Wang Ming Chun married her long-term boyfriend Law Kar Ying in Las Vegas last Saturday.

Sin Chew reported that their love blossomed after they acted together in a Chinese opera in 1988. Both are internationally-acclaimed Chinese opera stars.

Law, 63, had proposed to Wang, 61, twice before but she said no.
