Hong Kong actor Roger Kwok has dismissed the unfounded claims suggesting a romantic relationship with former Miss Hong Kong winner Hilary Chong.
Rumours began circulating after tabloids reported that Kwok, 60, had been giving private tennis lessons to Chong, 23, following their recent collaboration on the TVB drama Golden Forest .
In an interview at a charity event, Kwok urged the public not to take these rumours seriously, adding that such speculations could interfere with his chances of finding love.
'Please don't make wild guesses and stop me from finding my true soulmate! I'm not seeing anyone currently, but if these rumours keep spreading, it will only scare people away,' he said.
Kwok, who finalised his divorce with former TVB star Cindy Au in 2024 after 18 years of marriage, went on to describe Chong as intelligent and gracious.
He also made it clear that such gossip wouldn't affect their interactions moving forward.
Meanwhile, Chong has also laughed off the romance rumours, stressing that there will never be room for romantic development as she and Kwok share a 'father-daughter relationship'.
The TVB actress, who was crowned Miss Hong Kong in 2023, also clarified that there were other Golden Forest co-stars present on the day she played tennis with Kwok.
'Our group is like one big family. Everyone shares a good familial relationship,' she said.

Photo: Grace Wong/Instagram From now on, Hong Kong actress Grace Wong will be holding three birthday celebrations in the month of May. Wong, who turned 39 on May 5, announced on social media on May 29 the birth of her first child via natural delivery. Her non-celebrity husband Daniel Chang, also 39, was born on May 15. Wong wrote in Chinese: 'I always thought I would be the kind of career woman who picked a date for a caesarean section and gave her baby formula milk. 'But as I formed a relationship with my baby during the nine months of pregnancy, she seemed to tell me that I could do it. I did more research and wanted to give her the best within my capabilities.' She thanked her doctor for giving her the confidence to change her choice of delivery method in the last four months of her pregnancy. 'It really worked out in the end as our baby girl was born naturally,' Wong wrote, revealing that her daughter's name is Audrey Chang. 'She is very special as she arrived past 12am, so her birthday is next to her dad's birthday,' she added. 'I wonder if she will be a daddy's girl in the future.' She thanked her husband for accompanying her throughout the journey and for being her biggest cheerleader, adding: 'You're gonna be the best daddy.' She also thanked the medical team at Hong Kong's Union Hospital. 'We felt very loved and supported during our stay,' she wrote in English. 'Thanks for celebrating Danny's birthday and Mother's Day with me as well.' Using hashtags such as #MayBabies, she added: 'Off to a new season with our little one. We love you so much and can't wait to see you grow up.' The first runner-up of the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 2007, Wong is best known for starring in the TVB martial arts drama A Fist Within Four Walls (2016). Her role as Fa Man was named Most Popular Female Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards in 2016. In 2016, she announced her engagement to Chang, whom she had dated for 11 years. In 2017, they held two wedding ceremonies in the United States and Hong Kong. Wong announced in December 2021 that she was leaving TVB after 14 years with the Hong Kong broadcaster. She took part in Chinese dance survival show Great Dance Crew in 2022 and is also a singer now. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Stylist testifies Cassie dated Michael B. Jordan during Diddy relationship
Stylist Deonte Nash testified that he set up Cassie with Michael B. Jordan (far left) after she found out Diddy was seeing another woman in 2015. Photos: Michael B. Jordan/Instagram, TNS Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former stylist testified on Thursday to the former flames of Cassie Ventura, saying she dated both Michael B. Jordan and Andre Branch during her contentious on-and-off relationship with the hip-hop mogul. Deonte Nash — who worked for Diddy from 2008 to 2018 — took the stand for a second day in the rapper's federal sex trafficking trial, testifying that he set up Ventura with Sinners star Jordan after she found out Diddy was seeing another woman in 2015. Nash also confirmed he knew that Ventura had dated Branch, now a 35-year-old former NFL linebacker, but that he 'never met him' during their brief relationship in 2016. Branch was alluded to earlier in the trial when Ventura testified that she cheated on Diddy with an NFL player, though she didn't identify him by name. While Ventura's relationships with other men have nothing to do with the charges against Combs, prosecutors have used them in attempt to paint a picture of his possessive, controlling and violent behaviour. The R&B singer also testified to her relationship with rapper Kid Cudi, revealing the pair briefly dated in 2011 during a time when she and Combs were 'not in the greatest place.' She said Combs filled with rage upon learning of the romance, allegedly telling Ventura 'he was going to hurt' the two of them and blow up Cudi's car. In January 2012, police did in fact respond to a vehicle arson at Cudi's address in L.A., where his car was found engulfed in flames. No suspects were ever arrested. On Wednesday, Nash testified to witnessing Combs physically abusing Ventura on numerous occasions and hearing him threaten 'to beat her a–,' get her parents fired from their jobs and send out humiliating sex tapes recorded during 'freak-offs.' Nash's testimony brought into focus the power imbalance between Combs and Ventura, 17 years his junior. Prosecutors have used this to back up their claims that Combs coerced her into sex sessions with male escorts, which his lawyers have tried to frame as consensual. If convicted of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, Combs faces life behind bars. He has maintained his innocence. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
