Lee Lung Kei, 74, denies rumours of rift with 38YO fiancee: 'We are doing well'
Hong Kong actor Lee Lung Kei and his fiancee Chris Wong went public with their relationship in 2020. Photo: Chris Wong/Instagram Hong Kong singer-actor Lee Lung Kei has dismissed rumours of trouble in his relationship with his 38-year-old fiancee Chris Wong. Speculation arose after a photo of the 74-year-old star dining with friends in Canada circulated online, with many noting Wong's absence. Dismissing the claims in an interview with Hong Kong news portal HK01, Lee said that he had personally accompanied Wong to her parents' home in Foshan, China, before heading to the United States and Canada for his shows. 'People must have seen some YouTubers spreading rumours online, right? Don't believe these so-called YouTubers,' the former TVB star added. On their wedding plans, Lee revealed that the couple wants to keep things low-key, as Wong wishes to step away from the public eye. 'I promised her I would keep things on the down low from now on. She hopes to fade out of the spotlight soon, so all I can say is we're doing well,' he said. Wong, a Chinese national whose real name is Wang Qingxia, was sentenced by the Shatin Magistrates' Court in June 2024 after pleading guilty to five charges related to overstaying in Hong Kong and forging university certificates to obtain an entry permit. During her time behind bars, Lee wrote her letters every one to two weeks to keep her spirits up. He also expressed his wish to marry her after her release and even purchased a gold bracelet earlier this year in preparation for their wedding. Wong was deported upon her release earlier on July 7 and crossed into mainland China via the Shenzhen Bay Immigration Control Point. That day, Lee greeted her with a bouquet of pink roses at the immigration hall before embracing her.

Doak joins Bournemouth as Liverpool exodus grows
LONDON: Scotland international winger Ben Doak has joined Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £25 million (RM143 million), taking Liverpool's tally from player sales beyond £200 million during this transfer window. The 19-year-old, who joined from Celtic for just £600,000 in 2022, made only 10 appearances for the Liverpool first team. Doak impressed during a loan spell at second tier Middlesbrough and picked up six caps at international level last season. The BBC reported that Bournemouth will pay an initial £20 million with a further £5 million in add-ons. "I feel like it's the right time for me and it's a great opportunity to play regular football at the highest level. It feels like the perfect fit," said Doak. "The team play very nice football. It's fast and it really suits my game, so I felt like I couldn't say no to the chance to play here." Doak follows Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah and Tyler Morton in leaving the Premier League champions in recent months. That has allowed the Reds to spend around £300 million on strengthening Arne Slot's squad with the signings of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giovanni Leoni. More arrivals are expected at Anfield before the close of the window in two weeks. A £110 million bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak has been reportedly rejected, while Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is also closing in on a shift to the champions. - AFP
