On Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, which fell on Saturday (Aug 10), Hong Kong actress Carina Lau shared a series of photos on Instagram featuring herself with a young boy.
The caption read: “Happy Qixi Festival! My little love.”
While many of her followers praised Lau for looking as stunning as ever, some expressed disappointment that she did not include a photo with her husband, actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai, on this special day.
The 58-year-old star has been married to Leung, 62, for 16 years.
In June, reports indicated that Leung was in Europe filming Silent Friend, directed by Oscar-nominated Hungarian director Ildiko Enyedi and co-starring French actress Lea Seydoux.
As for the “little love” in Lau’s post, the boy is said to be Rocco, the son of Victoria Tang-Owen and Christopher Owen. Tang-Owen is the daughter of David Tang, founder of the Chinese luxury brand Shanghai Tang.
Tang-Owen is also a notable figure, having co-founded the multidisciplinary design studio Thirty30 Creative and the Victoria Tang Design Studio.
