#SHOWBIZ: HK-based actress Natalie Ng divorces after 14 years of marriage
HONG KONG: Actress Natalie Ng has made a surprising revelation in her new autobiography: she and her husband, financial expert David Chan, have amicably divorced after 14 years of marriage. The couple, who met while studying in the United States, married in 2011 and have two daughters, Scarlet, 10, and Season, eight. In a recent interview with Ming Pao Weekly, Ng – who experienced a recurrence of breast cancer last August – disclosed that her marriage had been troubled long before her diagnosis. The 50-year-old shared that she and Chan had undergone multiple separations and reconciliations over the years. "Perhaps we married back then because it felt like the right time. Over the years, we separated and reunited, but the underlying issues were never truly resolved. Ultimately, we had to make a decision," she explained. Despite the split, Ng – the second runner-up in the 1998 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant – emphasised that she and her ex-husband maintain a good relationship. "There's no right or wrong. I hope everyone refrains from making unnecessary speculation. Some people are simply better off as friends rather than spouses," she added. Ng's health deteriorated in March when her cancer advanced to Stage Four. Fortunately, following treatment, her cancer index has since returned to normal. In a recent video uploaded to social media, Ng stated that she is now focused on rebuilding her muscles and prioritising a healthier lifestyle.

The pair first met while studying in the United States and married in 2011. They share two daughters – Scarlet, 10, and Season, eight. In a recent interview with Ming Pao Weekly , Ng – who experienced a recurrence of breast cancer in August last year – revealed that her marriage had been on the rocks long before her diagnosis. The 50-year-old shared that she and her husband had gone through multiple separations and reconciliations over the years. 'Maybe we got married back then because we felt the time was right. Over the years, we have separated and reunited, but the underlying issues were never truly resolved. In the end, we had to make a decision,' she said. Despite the split, Ng – a second runner-up in the 1998 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant – reiterated that she and her ex-husband maintain a good relationship. 'There's no right or wrong. I hope everyone refrains from making unnecessary speculations. Some people are better off as friends rather than as spouses,' she added. For the record, Ng's health deteriorated earlier in March when the cancer cells spread to her coccyx, advancing to Stage Four. Fortunately, after undergoing treatment, her cancer index has since returned to normal. In a recent video uploaded on social media, Ng said she's currently focused on rebuilding the muscles she lost after the cancer cells caused significant muscle deterioration. She added that her current priority is leading a healthier lifestyle, saying: 'I want to live a more exciting and healthier life.'
