Photo: China Press Hong Kong-American actor Philip Ng, the ex-boyfriend of former TVB star Linda Chung, has found love once again. The 47-year-old went public with model Renee Li on Wednesday (May 28), just a day after the pair were seen together at Raymond Lam's concert. According to Oriental Daily , Ng was previously spotted with a younger woman at a theme park. At the time, the Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In (2024) star told reporters he was 'getting to know" someone but chose not to disclose her identity. In a recent interview with Hong Kong media, Ng revealed that he met Li, who's 13 years his junior, through a mutual friend. The actor also confirmed that Li, 34, was indeed the woman he had been seen with at the theme park previously. 'We were recently introduced by a mutual friend and started dating … I hope everyone can give us time and space. Thank you,' he said. Li joined the entertainment industry in 2011. She has appeared in films such as Magic To Win (2011) and Detective (2013), and has also taken on hosting duties for multiple ViuTV programmes over the years. For the record, Ng had famously dated Chung, 41, in secret for eight years. Their romance was kept hidden at the time due to work pressure, with Chung at the peak of her career while Ng was often targeted by the media. Following their breakup, Chung went on to marry chiropractor Jeremy Leung, with whom she has two children.

Left temporarily homeless by Helene, many struggle to pay their mortgages
Hudson, Florida — Six months after Hurricane Helene hit Beth and Alex Brightman's home in Hudson, Florida, the flood damage is still visible. Since then, they have changed the message at their front door to "Let's not stay home." "It originally said, 'let's stay home,' because that's all we wanted to do, was stay here in our retirement home," Beth explained. The Brightman's thought the would be OK, because they have both flood insurance and homeowner's insurance. However, flood insurance only covered damage to the structure of their home, and homeowner's insurance doesn't cover contents lost from flooding. Flood insurance must be purchased separately, often from the federal government. FEMA estimates only 4% of homeowners across the country have flood insurance. "If we had a hole in the roof and rain came in, then our belongings would have been covered through the homeowner's," Beth told CBS News. As a result, they are using savings for repairs while living in a rental but still with a $2,500 monthly mortgage. About a month after hurricanes Helene and Milton hit the Southeast, nearly 60,000 homeowners fell behind on their mortgages, according to ICE Mortgage Technology, which tracks mortgage data. And there's been a similar trend after January's devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires. Right now, 4,100 homeowners there are delinquent on their mortgage payments, per ICE Mortgage Technology. Paul Willen, principal economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, says that, historically, lenders have worked out arrangements with disaster victims. "They understand that you have short-term cash flow issues," Willen said. "…The last thing they want is for a borrower to end up defaulting on a mortgage." One option with your bank is forbearance, which allows you to temporarily pause mortgage payments. "It basically gives you a way of paying for stuff up front, and freeing up cash flow," Willen said. The forbearance option gave the Brightmans relief from their house payments for six months. "It's been helpful, but then now it's going to turn around and be a big bite," Beth said. That bite will be about $15,000, the total amount deferred that is now coming due all at once. And forbearance can also have long-term consequences for homeowners, affecting credit, ability to refinance and home equity. Says Beth and Alex: "This is the year to rebuild, recover, and from there." Sneak peek: The Detective's Wife Judge halts own order demanding Kilmar Abrego Garcia updates NIH | Sunday on 60 Minutes
