On August 6, rumors about Macau casino heir Mario Ho’s alleged infidelity and having an illegitimate child resurfaced, trending at the top of Weibo’s social media hot searches. The controversy gained momentum after netizens noticed Kim Lim—Mario Ho’s ex-girlfriend and a well-known hot girl—publicly switching her personal social media account to open mode. She also shared photos holding a baby, revealing that she is now a single mother.
Kim Lim’s announcement came shortly after allegations surfaced that Mario Ho had a secret child raised overseas. Reports revealed that Kim Lim gave birth last year and has been raising the child in her hometown Singapore. This coincidence has fueled widespread speculation: Is Mario Ho the father, and did he secretly maintain a relationship with Kim Lim?
Given Kim Lim’s affluent background—belonging to Singapore’s elite—it is believed she wouldn’t publicize a single motherhood status without deeper motives. If the child is indeed Mario Ho’s, her public disclosure could be interpreted as a move to provoke and challenge the “official wife,” supermodel Ming Xi.
Hong Kong media contacted Kim Lim for comment but have yet to receive a response. Meanwhile, Mario Ho’s representative denied any connection between Mario Ho and Kim Lim’s child.
Despite the scandal surrounding her husband’s private affairs, Ming Xi has remained silent for nearly two weeks. According to QQ, tensions exist between the Victoria’s Secret supermodel and Mario Ho, with reports of a ‘cold war’ and possible isolation of Ming Xi by the Macau casino family.
Kim Lim hails from a prestigious background; she is the daughter of Singapore stock market tycoon Peter Lim, possessing a net worth near CN¥20 billion (about $2.8 billion USD). Kim Lim and Mario Ho began dating in 2015 after being introduced by Mario Ho’s sister, Sabrina Ho.
Their relationship lasted only a year due to differing life goals: Kim Lim aimed to pursue a modeling career in South Korea, while Mario Ho wanted her to stay in Hong Kong to nurture their relationship. She married a businessman in 2016 but divorced shortly after, and remarried in 2022 before another separation.
Mario Ho married supermodel Ming Xi in 2019 after an extravagant proposal involving 99,999 roses. The couple has two children: a son, Ronaldo, born in 2019, and a daughter born in 2022.
This scandal reveals cracks in what seemed like a perfect family setup and highlights the challenges faced by high-profile couples from wealthy backgrounds, where personal life complications often become public spectacle.
