As reported on Mingpao, the TVB 26-year-old starlet, known for her small role in the period drama, "Deep in the Realm of Conscience", shared the news on social media writing, "We have mutually decided to separate peacefully. We're parting as good friends, thanking one another and giving each other's blessings."

She also confirmed the divorce with Mingpao when asked about it following the announcement, reiterating that it was a peaceful separation.
