Breaking the Vows: Yang Mi & Hawick Lau’s New Chapter
When romance turns into reality TV drama, you hit the ring and the court both at once. The Chinese star Yang Mi (32) and her Hong Kong co‑star Hawick Lau (44)’ve officially split after almost five years of marriage. Their joint‑statement, dropped by Jiaxing Media on Saturday night (Dec 22), confirms the divorce papers were signed earlier this year.
Key Takeaways
- Both parties severed ties amicably—no public quarrels, just a mutual decision.
- They called the conversation “conducted with mutual respect,” a polite way of saying they talked it out like mature adults.
- They’re still resolving the soufflé of their shared life: caring for and raising their child together.
- Friends, not foes—each wishes the other the best for future adventures.
What’s Next?
With the marriage chapter closed, Yang and Lau now share the role of co‑parents and friends. Their fans can expect more of them as devoted parents rather than star‑pair bliss. Let’s keep the “enjoy the new life” vibes and hope the child ends up with one of the best grandparents in the TV world.
Adding a Hint of Lightness
If you were hoping for a romantic sequel, put down the rom‑com script and get ready for the Executive Producer of Family Life—a new genre that’s all about drama, heart, and trying to get the little one to eat dinner without a tantrum.
Yang Mi & Hawick Lau Split: The Shocking Divorce Announcement
In a surprising move, Jiaxing Media has officially declared that the beloved Chinese celebrity duo Yang Mi and Hawick Lau are officially using the word “divorce” to describe the end of their marriage.
Quick Fact Sheet
- Kids: Their adorable four‑year‑old daughter, Xiao Mi, affectionately nicknamed “Little Glutinous Rice” or “Xiao Nuo Mi.”
- Marriage: Tied the knot in January 2014—just a week after a glamorous Bali venue, the pair hinted at a new baby on the horizon.
- Rumor Suppression: They consistently brushed off gossip, even skipping a public celebration during their 2017 third anniversary.
- Tuples: They first crossed paths on the set of the 2012 historical drama Ru Yi.
- Career Highlights: Yang Mi surged to fame with the 2011 hit period drama Palace, ranking third on the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list in 2017. Lau, meanwhile, was hailed as one of TVB’s “Five Fresh Tigers” and starred in classics like A Kindred Spirit, Virtues of Harmony, and My Family.
All About the Breakup
Rumors swirling for years finally got the final verdict… Yeah, you guessed it. The divorce isn’t just a rumor—it’s the official word from the company that always keeps its stars in check.
Yang Mi gave a brief but firm reply during a press clamp: “We do our own thing, why would we need to gossip with everyone?” A statement that underscores how both have, by and large, kept the marriage policy a bit low‑key.
What We Know & What We Don’t
- Pre‑Wedding Baby Surprise: Just a week after their Bali nuptials, the couple announced a expected baby due by July—a real-life plot twist!
- Daughter’s Personality: The little “glutinous rice” (why would a daughter be nicknamed after rice? Possibly a familial joke or a sweet twist?) is already stealing hearts.
- Love Story: The off‑screen romance began on the set of Ru Yi and blossomed into a real festival of love—and then—right, the festival was cut short.
- One‑Day Anniversary? No. The 2017 third anniversary was kept hush‑hush, a comedic “no celebration, no party” move that just fuels the gossip machine.
What the Fans and Media Say
After the official announcement, fans reacted with a mix of shock, grief, and, let’s be honest, an odd mixture of relief (some less-stressed parents can flex their brains!). Media outlets, specifically The Straits Times, have eagerly chronicled the drama—yet any screen copy requires permission.
In Closing
So there you have it—Hollywood vibes, Chinese charm, and a snappy divorce announcement that will make the tabloids still wanna put the “devil’s edit” on top. Whether the future holds co‑parenting or entirely new chapters for the couple, we’re eagerly watching the next pages of this unique celebrity storybook.
