HONG KONG – Hong Kong singer-songwriter Phil Lam and his wife, Rikko Lee, marked their ninth wedding anniversary on Wednesday with an intimate family dinner by the waterfront, sharing tender moments on social media that delighted fans.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, brought along their two-year-old son Darrien for the celebration. Lam, 38, posted a series of photos on his social media platforms showing the family of three dining at a restaurant, followed by a sweet kiss on a seaside promenade. Captioning the images, he wrote, “19 years together. 9th anniversary as Mr. and Mrs.,” highlighting the longevity of their relationship since they first began dating nearly two decades ago.
Lee, a former TVB host and now a businesswoman, responded with a heartfelt message of her own. “9 years! Let’s continue to be resilient and flexible, weathering every storm together, my bestie and rock! Happy Willow Anniversary 柳婚快樂!” she wrote, referencing the traditional Chinese term for the ninth wedding anniversary, which symbolizes the pliability and strength of willow branches.
The couple’s son, Darrien, was born in August 2022, adding a new chapter to their relationship. Lam, known for hits like “高山低谷” (Highs and Lows), and Lee have often been open about their partnership, with Lam previously crediting his wife for supporting him through career ups and downs.
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the posts with congratulatory messages, praising the couple’s enduring bond. The anniversary celebration comes amid a busy period for Lam, who has been working on new music and preparing for live performances.
The Lam-Lee family’s public display of affection resonated with many in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, where long-lasting marriages are often celebrated as a rarity. Relationship experts note that public acknowledgment of milestones can strengthen emotional bonds and set positive examples for fans.
As the couple looks ahead, their focus remains on balancing family life with their respective careers. Lam is expected to release new material later this year, while Lee continues to expand her business ventures. For now, the family is savoring their time together, embodying the resilience that Lee referenced in her anniversary wish.
