Afterwards, the man stated that he and Maggie Cheung had no relationship at all, and this remark was unanimously lamented by the outside world.
In December 2015, she broke up with her boyfriend, Adrian.
Later, she talked about her emotional experience over the years in an interview, saying: "When I was not married before, I thought that I must get married at a certain age.

The destination of life is not necessarily marriage, but there must be love. ”
