#SHOWBIZ: Shu Qi reveals she was friends with all of husband Stephen Fung's exes
TAIPEI: Taiwanese superstar Shu Qi has opened up about her relationship with husband Stephen Fung, humorously revealing that she was once friends with every single one of his ex-girlfriends.
Taiwanese actress Shu Qi has revealed that she was friends with all of her husband Stephen Fung's ex-girlfriends. The 50-year-old actress and the 52-year-old Hong Kong actor-director first met on the set of the 1998 film Bishonen. Although their romance is now popular among fans, Shu Qi stated during an appearance on the Chinese variety show Mao Xue Woof that they never had romantic feelings for each other from the beginning.
Stephen was already in a relationship with another woman at the time and Shu Qi was close to his girlfriends. Stephen and Shu Qi's relationship evolved from friendship to romance when Stephen supported her during a difficult period in her life. Stephen never proposed to Shu Qi, but she was happy with skipping the grand gesture since she was already familiar with the experience from her roles in romance films.
When asked to rank her co-stars, Shu Qi placed Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro in her top three, but she made clear that her husband was not in the top three.
