She had reportedly got engaged to her Singapore-based, Indonesia-born boyfriend in Taiwan on Jan 25.
And according to the Taiwanese media, they were supposed to tie the knot in June.
So it was a surprise when news broke that Taiwanese beauty Vivian Hsu married her 36-year-old businessman boyfriend Sean Lee in a low-key wedding at a hotel in Singapore on Wednesday.
Veteran Hong Kong actor Simon Yam, 58, revealed he was one of the wedding guests.
Another source close to Hsu's manager also confirmed the wedding.
Over the phone on Wednesday, Yam told The New Paper: "The wedding ceremony was a cosy, intimate affair attended only by the couple's close friends and family. Vivian did not want too many people to know about it so it was kept very private. I went there to congratulate her."
The affable Yam, who was also in town to attend a Canon Chinese New Year reunion lunch, added: "Vivian is a big, gorgeous beauty. I'm very happy for her that she got married and I wish her happiness and bliss in her new marriage to a good husband."
Yam declined to divulge more details of the wedding ceremony here, but said: "Vivian mentioned that she will be living in Singapore after her wedding, so hopefully you guys will meet her more often in the future."
Yam, who was in Singapore alone, attended the wedding without his wife, international model Sophia Kao, 46. The busy superstar flew back to Hong Kong Thursday morning.
When asked what wedding gift he gave the newlyweds, Yam said: "I did not give Vivian a present as she already has everything she wants. It's the thought that counts."

According to Sina.com, Hsu will settle down in Singapore after marriage to spend more time with her new family and husband.
But she has promised that she will not give up her showbiz career, and will continue to act if a good script comes along.
Chinese news site Sohu.com reported that Hsu's ex-lovers - including Hong Kong actor-director Stephen Fung, Taiwanese actor Nicky Wu and recently-married Van Ness Wu, have sent the happy couple their blessings.
Nicky Wu told the media through his manager: "I wish her happiness."
Van Ness Wu, who tied the knot with Singaporean Arissa Cheo on Nov 7 last year, reportedly said: "I'm very happy for her and wish her happiness!"
On Monday Feb 3, Hsu posted a photo on social media with her celebrity pals Ann Yeh and Ruby Lin to mark the Chinese New Year. The snap unwittingly revealed her large sparkler of an engagement ring, which netizens were quick to point out. Chinese media estimated the size of the diamond to be about 5-carats.
