Hong Kong actress Bernice Liu faced a media storm at the “Breast Health Walk 2026” charity event on The Peak on Friday, directly addressing rumors that she is engaged to 70-year-old billionaire Lu Li Zhang. In a series of deft answers, the 47-year-old star re-cast her recent viral social media posts as personal achievements rather than romantic signals.
Liu has been linked to the businessman for months, but the relationship was thrust into the spotlight when she posted a photo holding his hand. The annual charity walk, drawing hundreds of participants in bright pink attire, became the stage for a candid press scrum. Liu, a seasoned veteran of the Hong Kong entertainment scene, seemed prepared for the deluge of questions.
A Diamond of Her Own
Speculation peaked after Liu shared a photo of a 4-carat diamond ring. While the public assumed a proposal was imminent, Liu quickly corrected the record. “It is not an engagement ring,” she stated. “I collaborated with a designer who has created jewelry for Taylor Swift to make a ring for myself. Since this is my 25th anniversary in the business, I wanted a meaningful keepsake. Who says a woman needs a man to buy her diamonds? If I can afford it, I will treat myself.”
Skywriting Serendipity
Regarding the picture of an “I ♡ B” skywriting formation, Liu downplayed its romantic significance. “People are reading too much into it,” she chuckled. “It was a real airplane doing a display, not a drone. I was just in the right place at the right time. I took it as a message of love for the whole world, not a private note to me.”
The Bigger Picture on Love and Life
Pivoting to her future, Liu was clear about her priorities. “Everything is in a good place,” she said of her relationship. “I am happy and balanced.” She rejected any timeline for marriage. “I have never felt pressure from anyone, not even my family. I am going with the flow. My main goal now is to be happy and pursue my dreams. A wedding is not something I spend time thinking about.”
Sending Best Wishes
The conversation briefly touched on her ex, actor Louis Liu, who is reportedly dating a model. Having just returned from work in mainland China, Bernice Liu offered a kind word. “I haven’t seen the specific news, but of course I am happy for him. I wish them well. It is nice to see old friends happy.”
Firmly in Control
Liu’s ability to gracefully navigate the intense scrutiny underscored her 25 years of experience in the public eye. The message she left the media with was clear: a woman’s worth is not defined by a diamond ring on her left hand, but by the milestones she sets for herself. Whether walking the Peak for charity or charting her personal path, Liu, at 47, is doing it her way. The next chapter, she implied, is hers to write.
