HONG KONG – Actor Tsang Chin-mong (GM) and actress Sophie Yip showcased their relationship and shared insights into their personal lives and upcoming Valentine’s Day plans on Wednesday at a promotional event for a skincare brand. The celebrity pair addressed relationship dynamics, personal well-being, and past reality television drama, emphasizing their current focus on each other.
During the appearance, Tsang publicly praised Yip’s flawless complexion and presented her with flowers, accompanied by a card bearing the heartfelt message, “I want to see you every Valentine’s Day.” Yip responded with a sweet smile, attributing her radiant skin not only to meticulous skincare but also to the nourishing homemade soups provided by Tsang’s mother.
The actress revealed her plans to repay the kindness by providing Tsang with a full facial and body massage. Tsang lightheartedly admitted to feeling a touch of “jealousy,” joking that his mother’s renowned soups were historically prepared solely for him, but now the growing batches always include a dedicated portion for Yip. Praising her future mother-in-law’s culinary skills, Yip quipped that she has been learning tricks from the matriarch.
Moving beyond professional spa treatments, Yip detailed her own unique health contributions to the relationship. She emphasized that her cooking is not based on “canned soups,” specifically highlighting her homemade tomato soup. “My tomato soup recipe is designed to help protect men’s prostate health and is rich in essential vitamins, making it incredibly beneficial,” she stated. Tsang affirmed his long-standing love for tomatoes and praised the delicious taste of Yip’s latest healthy creations.
Navigating Past Reality TV Drama
The couple also took the opportunity to address lingering speculation regarding a previous reality dating show, Goddess Matchmaking Project, which Yip participated in last year. This discussion centered on contestant Lin Po-hei, who was unsuccessful in his pursuit of Yip on the show. Lin recently told a web channel that he does not consider Tsang and Yip friends and actively avoids contact to prevent awkward encounters following the program.
Yip firmly asserted her devotion to Tsang, stressing that she refrains from contacting other men privately as a sign of respect for her partner. “Everything that needed to be answered during the program has been addressed,” she noted. “There is no need for contact, and we do not communicate.”
When asked about her inability to form a friendship with Lin, Yip offered a philosophical response about the complexities of social relationships: “It’s difficult to please everyone in life, and you can’t satisfy every person’s expectations. Currently, I only care about my boyfriend’s feelings.”
Yip added that should a reunion for the Goddess cast take place, they would greet Lin, but would not seek further interaction. “We would send Lin Po-hei our distant blessings,” she concluded. Tsang agreed with his partner’s assessment, suggesting that the limited contact among former cast members might simply be due to busy schedules following the program’s conclusion, minimizing the possibility of deliberate social evasion due to awkwardness.
This candid discussion provided fans with a rare glimpse into the celebrities’ commitment to a healthy, supportive partnership, balancing public life with focusing on elements like shared health habits and mutual respect.
