Former Miss Hong Kong winner Hau-wah Chan, known for her rising television career, finds herself at the centre of perpetual relationship rumours, spanning high-profile actors and singers, maintaining her status as one of the industry’s most closely scrutinized figures. The latest flurry of reports focuses on alleged turmoil in her current relationship with actor Karl Chu, following a rumoured secret liaison with veteran star Roger Kwok and an extensive history of perceived romances with several highly accomplished male celebrities.
The scrutiny intensified last August when local media outlet East Week claimed Chan and Chu had secretly begun dating and were cohabiting in an apartment in Sai Wan Ho. However, subsequent reports from the same publication suggested strain in their alleged relationship, linking Chan to actor Roger Kwok, who recently departed her network. This speculative drama adds to a lengthy series of dating rumours since Chan, crowned Miss Hong Kong in 2018, began her career.
