Macau casino heir Mario Ho's ex-girlfriend reveals she's a single mother, reignites infidelity scandal he tried to shut down days ago
The Macau heir had earlier taken to Weibo with a forceful rebuttal, calling the claims "absurd" and "wildly imaginative." But with his ex-girlfriend now publicly showing her baby - and the timing - shockwaves have rippled across the internet, and the scandal has been reignited. Despite Mario Ho's attempt to shut the rumours down, her quiet yet pointed reveal has thrust his personal life back into the spotlight.
Who is Macau casino heir Mario Ho's ex-girlfriend?
Singaporean heiress Kim Lim, the daughter of billionaire stock tycoon Peter Lim and former girlfriend of Mario Ho, has recently set the internet ablaze. Their story began in 2015, when the two were introduced by Mario's sister, Sabrina Ho.
However, the romance was short-lived, lasting just a year. According to reports, the breakup stemmed from conflicting ambitions - Kim wanted to pursue a modeling career in South Korea, while Mario hoped she would stay in Hong Kong to build a future with him. Since parting ways, Kim Lim has experienced two short-lived marriages.
What did Kim Lim post on Instagram?
In a striking move, Kim made her once-private social media account public and posted a photo and a video cradling a baby. The soft-lit, tender images instantly drew attention and raised eyebrows across the internet.
According to reports, Kim gave birth last year and has been quietly raising the child in her hometown of Singapore. The timing of her reveal - coinciding with swirling rumours - left many asking the inevitable: Could Mario Ho be the father?
Social media erupted. Within hours, Weibo was flooded with theories, propelling Mario Ho's name to the top of China's trending charts.
Mario Ho's wife Ming Xi's silence speaks volumes
After his break up with Kim Kim, Mario Ho proposed to supermodel Ming Xi in a grand gesture involving 99,999 roses - a proposal that made headlines. The couple married in 2019 and have since welcomed two children: a son named Ronaldo and a daughter born in 2022.
Ming Xi, an international supermodel and Victoria's Secret star, is known for her poised public image. As the gossip surrounding her husband continues to grow, she has remained silent.
Nearly two weeks have passed since the rumours first surfaced, and she has yet to make any public statement. However, reports suggest that tensions may be rising behind the scenes. According to QQ, the couple may be experiencing a 'cold war,' with Ming Xi allegedly becoming increasingly distanced from the Ho family.
Rumours of a hidden affair and a silent wife
Insiders speculate that Kim Lim's carefully timed "baby reveal" may be more than just a proud parenting moment. So far, Hong Kong media outlets have been met with silence after reaching out to Kim Lim for comment. Meanwhile, Mario Ho's representatives have flatly denied any connection to Kim's child.

Viral For Dramatic Salt-Sprinkling, This Chef Once 'Intimidated' Messi — A Short Rise & Fall Story
'From viral fame to public backlash, Was it ego? Missteps? or just too much, too fast? Did he deserve the fall?" asked a post by the Instagram page Mental Health & Motivation. The Salt Bae Moment That Changed Everything Salt Bae's rise started with a short video in 2017 which showed his signature move where he sprinkled salt with a dramatic wrist flick, letting it slide down his forearm onto a juicy steak. Wearing dark sunglasses and a tight white T-shirt, he became an internet sensation. The video caught the attention of millions including celebrities like Bruno Mars who reposted it and Rihanna who even wore a Salt Bae t-shirt. Stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio visited his restaurants. He has also been pictured with soccer legend David Beckham and actor Jason Statham. The Luxury Steak Empire Salt Bae's success led to the rapid expansion of his restaurant brand, Nusr-Et. Starting from a single location in 2010, his empire grew to include spots in Dubai, London, New York, Beverly Hills and more. His menu was anything but ordinary. At the Beverly Hills location, guests could enjoy char-grilled steaks like the mustard-marinated Amor, also known as Salt Bae's Private Reserve Cut, thick wagyu Woww steak and the famous Salt Bae tomahawk. Nusr-Et also offered a lavish Golden Experience menu that featured steaks coated in edible gold. For example, a 24-carat gold-covered tomahawk steak was priced at $950, a golden Amor at $1,500 and a massive four-pound wagyu New York strip steak at $2,000. The menu even included unique dishes like meat sushi topped with Parmigiano cheese served on beds of sushi rice. The restaurants became famous not only for the food but also for the spectacle with Salt Bae often performing his salt-sprinkling routine at the table. Trouble In Paradise Salt Bae's shine started to fade as serious complaints surfaced. A former waiter at his Manhattan steakhouse accused Salt Bae of taking a portion of the employees' tips. According to a report in Eater, the waiter had claimed that tips were pooled but that management kept about 3 per cent before sharing the rest with staff including managers and non-service employees. The employee had also alleged that workers were shorted on pay for breaks and overtime. According to the lawsuit, anyone who complained about not receiving their full tips was systematically fired. Customers also started speaking out. Many said, 'The show looks good. But the food isn't worth it." These accusations added to Salt Bae's growing list of controversies. Public Missteps Salt Bae's troubles extended beyond his restaurants. In 2022, he caused a stir by storming the pitch at the FIFA World Cup final without permission. He grabbed the trophy, kissed it and performed his signature salt-sprinkle gestures. Even Lionel Messi looked stunned by his unexpected actions. Many saw this as disrespectful.
