Aaron Kwok to wed
AARON Kwok is finally getting married.
Kwok, 51, is set to tie the knot with Moka Fang, 29, a model from Shanghai.
According to Apple Daily, the two had officially filed a notice of intended marriage in Hong Kong on March 4.
As such, they are expected to be getting hitched within the next three months.
This news came after persistent rumours that his girlfriend is already expecting; Fang teased her followers in February with a picture on Weibo hinting at a difference in the way she looked. It is widely speculated that she is two months pregnant and likely due to give birth in the October.
Fang is the only girlfriend Kwok has openly acknowledged; he announced their relationship in 2015 when the two started dating.
The Hong Kong star has been photographed waiting for Fang on the street, going for movies together and even carrying her handbag, and holding the door for her.
During his 50th birthday bash, Kwok had “hoped to get married and start a family soon”.
For the past few months, he has been continually dropping hints of marriage and eagerness to start a family, now that his mother is getting more advanced in age.
Kwok’s manager Leung May May also confirmed that the wedding would be happening this year and asked for everyone’s blessings.
The Heavenly King is currently in China shooting The Monkey King 3, which is slated for release next Chinese New Year.
The only one of Hong Kong’s Four Heavenly Kings who has not gotten married, Kwok famously said he would not get married until he bagged a Best Actor award.
While he had notched two consecutive Best Actor wins at Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards – for Divergence (2005) and After This Our Exile (2006), it was only in 2016 that Kwok finally scored a Hong Kong Best Actor award for his gritty role in Port Of Call (2015) at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards.
And, so, Kwok is finally ready to say goodbye to bachelorhood. – Seto Kit Yan
