Alvin Chau rumoured romantically involved with Japanese model
HONG KONG: Although married to Heidi Chan and has a girlfriend Mandy Lieu who bore him two children, Macau casino tycoon Alvin Chau couldn’t seem to keep off his wandering ways.
At Ady An’s wedding in Hawaii, he was seen flirting all night with Japanese model/ actress, Linah Matsuoka.
After appearing in ‘Lan Kwai Fong 2’ and ‘The Mermaid’, Linah is quite popular in Hong Kong and has frequent modelling engagements there. With her bubbly personality, the pretty 31-year-old caught Alvin’s attention at Ady’s wedding. A video recording was leaked, in which Alvin appeared to be in a drunken state and tightly gripped Linah’s waist while they danced together intimately. Linah enjoyed the attention and also had her hand on Alvin’s arm.
Their fling did not seem to be for one night only. Linah has reportedly been hired as Alvin’s casino’s next spokesperson and is allegedly being paid a hefty compensation of HK$3 million for the gig.
Linah once stated that she will not be involved with a married man because her father had cheated on her mother in their marriage. However, Linah admitted that she prefers dating rich men. Although denying their romantic rumours, Linah and Alvin appear to be still close. For her modelling engagements in Europe and the United States in August, Linah will be flying on private jets, which were speculated to be provided by Alvin to offer her greater comfort.
Meanwhile, Mandy was reportedly fuming after seeing the video and learning of Alvin’s wandering eyes and hands. Mandy became involved with Alvin although he is married to socialite Heidi Chan. In 2015, when both Heidi and Mandy were pregnant at the same time, Heidi threatened divorce because she was upset by Mandy’s increasing boldness.
For two years, Alvin managed to maintain his marriage with Heidi by keeping his women far apart. Mandy continues to reside in London with their two children, while Heidi lives in Hong Kong.
Asked for comment over Alvin’s involvement with Linah, Heidi refused to respond to the press’ inquiry. However Heidi had once infamously remarked over her husband’s cheating ways, “There’s no need for me to fight anyone over anything. Win or lose, I’m still the wife.”
There is a chance that Alvin’s wife and girlfriends will all meet in London next month. With Heidi’s daughter to attend boarding school in London, the entire family will be flying there. Mandy has already been living in London for two years. Linah will also be making a stop in London during her modelling gig. Will Alvin be able to maintain his balancing act without upsetting his wife and girlfriends?
