  "account": "Hong Kong's G.E.M., whose actual name is Gloria Tang, is reported to have married her stylist boyfriend, Mark Ngai, after eight years of dating. The 35-year-old singer-songwriter and Ngai exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at a New York church, according to AsiaOne. The news of their union surfaced as Tang concluded her three-year global tour. They began dating in 2016, and their relationship became public in 2018. Rumors of their marriage had circulated for years, but their representatives consistently refuted the claims. In 2020, they were reportedly hosting a tropical wedding in Thailand during the Lunar New Year celebration. When Chinese paparazzi reignited marriage rumors in 2022, Tang's management team responded on Weibo, jokingly asking, \"How could she have completed the paperwork without us knowing?\" While Ngai is primarily recognized as a celebrity stylist, he comes from a distinguished family. His grandfather was a Shanghai textile businessman who later moved to Hong Kong to start a finance and trading firm, and was once briefly married to Hong Kong actress Rosamund Kwan. Tang's mother, Jeanie, is a successful businesswoman, and her younger sister, Joyce, participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant and later hosted several TVB shows.",
