In recent days, the relationship between Cecilia Cheung, Nicholas Tse, and Faye Wong has once again dominated social media discussions. Following the passing of veteran actor Patrick Tse, reports claiming that Cecilia Cheung had been entrusted by the Tse family to manage the inheritance left behind for his two grandsons attracted widespread public attention.
At the same time, Faye Wong, who has been in a relationship with Nicholas Tse for more than a decade since they rekindled their romance, found herself at the center of controversy after a wealthy businesswoman accused her of interfering in Nicholas Tse’s marriage to Cecilia Cheung and even hiring gang members to target her romantic rival. The allegations quickly spread across social media and sparked heated debate. However, Faye Wong’s representatives promptly denied every accusation, insisting that the claims were entirely baseless. Nicholas Tse also issued a statement through his management company, dismissing all rumors surrounding his late father’s inheritance and his personal life. Many interpreted this as a public show of support for Faye Wong.
After Nicholas Tse released his statement, every move made by Cecilia Cheung became the focus of public attention. On the afternoon of July 25, the actress posted a short message on her personal social media account: “No matter how difficult things once were, they’ve all been overcome now.” Although the post consisted of only a few words, mentioned no names, and offered no explanation, its timing immediately attracted millions of views.
Many netizens quickly interpreted the message as a subtle jab following Nicholas Tse’s decision to publicly stand by Faye Wong. Some believed Cecilia was indirectly referring to the years she devoted herself to Nicholas Tse, her efforts to preserve their family, and her experience raising their two sons alone while her ex-husband rekindled his romance with Faye Wong, with some critics even claiming he failed to remember his children’s birthdays.
When Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse divorced in 2011, their eldest son Lucas was only four years old, while their younger son Quintus was not yet two. Over the past decade, videos of Cecilia have consistently shown her traveling alone with the boys—carrying Quintus, pushing heavy luggage, and keeping a close eye on Lucas. As the sole caregiver, she reportedly turned down acting projects that required her to spend long periods away from home, accepting only jobs nearby while personally cooking, taking her sons to school, and helping them with their studies.
Earlier this month, the actress worried fans after revealing medical test results showing that she was suffering from severe anemia and iron deficiency. Despite her condition, only days before making the announcement, Cecilia still appeared at a public performance to earn money and support her children.
However, many others believe her recent post was simply a personal reflection after an emotionally difficult period, particularly following the death of her former father-in-law Patrick Tse. According to Chinese media reports, as soon as she learned that Patrick Tse had been admitted to intensive care in critical condition, Cecilia immediately contacted Lucas’ school in Australia to arrange a temporary leave of absence before booking the earliest available flight back to Hong Kong so her son could see his grandfather one last time. Lucas reportedly stayed by his grandfather’s bedside for several days, reading newspapers to him, helping him drink water, and holding his hand. During one of his final lucid moments, Patrick Tse recognized his grandson and smiled happily.
These quiet acts earned Cecilia widespread praise from the public. Although she divorced Nicholas Tse years ago, she has maintained a positive relationship between her two sons and the Tse family, never preventing them from visiting or spending time with their paternal grandparents.
Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse fell in love while filming The Promise, directed by Chen Kaige. At that time, Nicholas Tse had already ended his relationship with Faye Wong. In 2006, he proposed to Cecilia on a beach while kneeling before her. The couple later held a private wedding attended only by a small number of close friends, while even some family members were absent.
Although Nicholas Tse gave Cecilia a romantic wedding, their marriage lasted only five years. In 2011, the two officially announced their divorce. They share two sons, Lucas Tse and Quintus Tse. Cecilia was granted custody and became a single mother.
In 2014, Nicholas Tse reunited with Cantopop icon Faye Wong. During a media interview, he openly declared, “The person I love most in this lifetime is Faye Wong.” The statement led many members of the public to sympathize with Cecilia, who was raising their children on her own. For years, the love triangle involving Faye Wong, Nicholas Tse, and Cecilia Cheung has remained one of the most talked-about celebrity stories in Chinese entertainment.
Following the collapse of her marriage to Nicholas Tse, Cecilia Cheung stated that she would never publicly discuss her romantic relationships again because of the intense scrutiny she experienced in the past. She considers her love life to be a private matter. In 2018, Cecilia gave birth to her third child but has never revealed the identity of the father. Meanwhile, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong have never married. Nicholas has previously explained that neither he nor Faye believes that love needs to be bound by legal marriage.
