The daily also reported that veteran Hong Kong actress Lisa Wang denied being separated from her 66-year-old husband Law Kar-ying, who is also an actor.

A Hong Kong magazine reported that the couple, who had been together several years earlier had only married in 2009 and were now separated. To refute the rumours, Wang, 65, even posted a photograph of her kissing Law on the cheek on the Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo.

Wang said that the rumours were merely a joke and that they were still "a loving couple staying under the same roof".
