Personal life

[edit]

After working together in the series Armed Reaction in 1998, Joyce and Marco Ngai started dating and had a 9-year relationship. At that time, Hong Kong fans and entertainment were waiting for a wedding of the century from a beautiful love story, she suddenly announced her breakup. The reason was that Marco betrayed her and came to a young actress Zhang Lihua. He was turned away by everyone and even affected his career.

Later, Joyce - after the cooperation in the movie Wars of In-Laws II - also dated the talented actor Derek Kok in 2007. But it wasn't long before the media exposed his private life, from which she knew the fact that he had a wife and children that had been hidden for so long. Immediately, Joyce ended her relationship with Derek.

On December 7, 2013, Joyce married businessman Matthew Chu in Thailand after a period of learning and dating through the recommendation of friends. She and her husband decided that they will not have children and lived happily together until later. She also spends more time enjoying life with her husband and friends, so now Joyce only participates in sitcom Come Home Love: Lo and Behold. But unexpectedly, the fame of her character Hung Sheung Sin in the show is welcomed and loved so much. After many ups and downs, Joyce finally had a happy family and a stable career.
