Sure, a relationship might succeed if I put in the real work, yet love has become less of a priority for me these days.

However, Cheung admitted that as a mother now, romance no longer takes up as much space in her life as it once did. Reflecting on her younger years, she recalled how she would make time for a partner despite a busy career.

Cheung shared her thoughts on the difficulties of love. In her view, the sole factor capable of causing genuine pain in relationships is \”the refusal to move on.\” She mentioned a valuable suggestion from her mother that has assisted her in keeping a positive perspective.

\”There’s no reason to feel unhappy because you don’t know these people. It’s your life,\” Cheung recalled her mother’s words. \”As long as you know how to make yourself happy, even the harshest words will sound like a song to you.\”

When talking about managing difficult emotional situations, Cheung revealed that she likes to deal with her emotions in private.

\”When I\’m feeling down, I would retreat to my house and shed tears alone, but I wouldn\’t let him see me crying,\” she shared.

Much public attention has surrounded Cheung’s personal life. She tied the knot with Hong Kong actor

In 2006, however, the pair got separated in 2011. They have two children together—

At age 18 and Quintus at 15, the children reside primarily with their mother but still have a strong bond with their father. This connection remains intact even as Tse resumes his romantic involvement with his former girlfriend, renowned Hong Kong singer Faye Wong.

In 2018, Cheung welcomed her third son, but the identity of the father has been kept private, sparking speculation. Chinese media tycoon Sun Donghai was rumored to be the father, but he has denied the claims and threatened legal action against those spreading the rumors.

Cheung, 45, first rose to fame in 1998 through a television commercial for lemon tea, which caught the attention of Hong Kong filmmaker Stephen Chow. Her film debut came in Chow’s 1999 hit \”King of Comedy,\” where she played a call girl. The film became the highest-grossing local production of that year and launched Cheung into stardom.
