Mario Ho, the son of late Macau casino mogul Stanley Ho and husband of Chinese supermodel Ming Xi, has found himself at the center of a massive online scandal.

On July 31, explosive rumors surfaced on Chinese social media, drawing millions of views and sparking heated discussion. According to a report by QQ, netizens claim that Mario Ho secretly fathered a child with a member of the Singaporean-Chinese pop duo By2. The alleged child is said to be living overseas, hidden from public knowledge.

The controversy didn’t stop there. Another rumor suggests Mario Ho maintained an overly intimate relationship with his half-sister, further fueling public speculation. Childhood photos of the two—now being recirculated online have been cited as “evidence” by some, although there is no official confirmation or reliable source supporting these claims.

In response to the mounting allegations, Mario Ho issued a brief but pointed denial, “Don’t ask me what happened—I don’t even understand it myself.”

His vague comment left fans divided. While some expressed relief and support, others remained skeptical, questioning the timing and origin of the rumors.

Born in 1995, Mario Ho is the youngest son of Stanley Ho and his fourth wife, Angela Leong. Known for his academic excellence, he was accepted into Oxford University at just 18 and later became the only Hong Kong student admitted to MIT, where he earned a master’s degree in finance at 21.

He shot to public fame in 2018 after solving a high-level math puzzle in just 21 seconds on Super Brain China, earning praise for both his intellect and charm.

Mario Ho married former Victoria’s Secret model Ming Xi in 2019, following a headline-making proposal in Shanghai involving 99,999 roses. The couple now shares two children: a son, Ronaldo Ho, born in 2019, and a daughter born in 2022.

Despite a lack of concrete evidence, the scandal continues to dominate online discourse. So far, neither Mario Ho nor his representatives have provided additional clarification or legal action against the rumors.
