Phoebe Sin responds to dating rumours with Ruco Chan

HONG KONG: “We are friends,” former Miss Hong Kong contestant Phoebe Sin said when asked if she and Ruco Chan were dating at the moment.

“We did go out to dinner after he came back from filming ‘Succession Wars’.

“I want to focus on work. I’ve just got into doing another children’s programme. None of us really have time as we’re very busy,” she added, when asked during a press conference for Big Big Kids Awards 2017 recently.

Their dating rumours started last month when the pair were photographed eating a meal inside Ruco’s car, parked on a hilltop. A few days later, paparazzi saw Ruco helping Phoebe with her furniture shopping, sparking more dating speculations.

(So both of you are not dating?) “We are just getting to know each other. We are friends and co-workers.”

( Would you say your relationship would eventually develop into a romance?) “It’s hard to say, but work comes first.”

Phoebe said she finds Ruco admirable, as he took on the rsponsibility of facing reporters when the rumours first circulated.

“I’m still a rookie so I’m not really good with my words. He shouldered the reponsibility in this incident and I’m very thankful. I know this has to be very rough on him because facing the media isn’t an easy task, and I hope that people will give him some space and put more focus on his career.”
