Hong Kong actress Cecilia Choi, now known publicly as Mrs. Lau, celebrated her 32nd birthday on Wednesday, marking the first time she has done so since her marriage to actor Terrance Lau last year. The couple, who discreetly tied the knot in Japan in October, continue to balance demanding careers while maintaining a close bond, with fans speculating that Lau managed to carve out time from a busy film set to join the celebration.
Choi took to social media to share two sets of birthday photos. The first shows her at home, beaming while holding a birthday cake, while the second captures a later evening dinner outing. In a heartfelt caption, she reflected on the past year and outlined her aspirations for the year ahead.
“I’ve spent the last six months completing a production, and my whole state of being felt like living in another time,” she wrote. “Returning to reality, I realized there’s less than half of the year left, and suddenly I turned 32 today! In recent years, I’ve set goals for my birthdays: at 30, it was about being at peace; at 31, it was about dreaming big. This year, it’s about enjoying the present and… staying happy!”
Although Choi only posted solo pictures, the timing and location of the celebration suggest her husband was present. Lau is currently deeply involved in filming “The Siege of Kowloon Walled Bay: Final Chapter,” a high-budget action film that has kept him occupied. According to industry sources, the production schedule is intense, but the actor is known for prioritizing family moments.
A Low-Key Wedding and a Busy Life
Lau and Choi announced their marriage in October 2023, surprising fans who had followed their on-screen romance in the hit TV series “The Calling” into real life. The couple, both rising stars in Hong Kong’s entertainment scene, have opted for a private life away from the spotlight. Choi recently wrapped up a major project that left her feeling “in another world,” as she described, while Lau juggles multiple film commitments.
What’s Next for the Couple
With Choi’s birthday wish now set on “enjoying the present,” the actress appears to be taking a moment to reset before diving into her next role. Industry insiders suggest she may soon announce a new drama project, while Lau’s film, a sequel to the acclaimed “The Siege of Kowloon Walled Bay,” is expected to premiere next year. For now, fans can only hope for more glimpses into the couple’s life—perhaps when they next share a milestone together.
