Earlier in May, Hawick Lau and Lai Kei-kwan were reportedly seen together in an underground parking lot of a residential complex. At that time, neither of them addressed speculations about their romantic involvement.
Prior to his current romance, Hawick Lau was romantically linked with actress May Kwong and later dated Bernice Liu. His relationship with Bernice was once celebrated as one of TVB’s most attractive pairings. Following their separation, Hawick tied the knot with Yang Mi, with whom he shares a daughter nicknamed Little Sticky Rice. After their marriage ended, Hawick publicly dated actress Li Xiaofeng. However, his father, Lau Dan, confirmed their split in June of this year.
Lai Kei-kwan, born in 1993, is a model, actress, and TV host from Hong Kong. She holds a business administration degree from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Well-known for featuring in a KMB bus ad as Sleeping Beauty, she later became an ambassador for the Bonmin brand and ventured into acting and hosting entertainment programs. Apart from showbiz, she also operates her own pastry business.
Previously, Lai was in a relationship with Hong Kong artist Gregory Wong and then had a six-year romance with a non-showbiz boyfriend. In July, she announced her split from her foreign boyfriend and shared plans to continue caring for the dogs they raised together.
Hawick Lau is a Hong Kong actor recognized for his roles in dramas and movies like Sealed with a Kiss, Holding Love, and Lady & Liar. His marriage to Yang Mi, whom he met on a film set, drew attention due to their different backgrounds and significant age gap. They tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed a daughter two years later, but eventually parted ways after four years. Their daughter remains in Hong Kong under the care of her paternal grandparents.
