In a white dress beneath the Eiffel Tower, actress Candice Chiu Hei-lok surprised fans on Valentine's Day by announcing her marriage—but her new husband's identity remains hidden.
The 43-year-old newlywed took to Instagram yesterday to share the news, posting solo bridal photos alongside a poetic caption: "As this lunar year winds down, my new chapter begins."
The announcement caught fans by surprise—after years of keeping her love life private, Chiu's revelation drew a flood of blessings in the comments.
A love story shrouded in secrecy
Chiu first confirmed she was in a relationship back in 2020 but has steadfastly kept her partner out of the public eye.
In response to media inquiries, she humorously joked that a revelation might only come if they separated, noting that he was a conservative person.
In a later interview, Chiu opened up about her decision to keep her partner private, explaining it was mainly an attempt to protect the one she loves.
"I don't want to affect his work. Right now, we're doing really well, enjoying a comfortable relationship without having to explain ourselves to anyone,” she said.
In a rare moment of disclosure, Chiu revealed that her husband is dedicated to his career—a person she respects deeply and who inspires her to grow.
"We trust each other completely," she shared. "We support one another. We both have high standards when it comes to work and our attitudes toward it. That's how we click"
From her wedding photos, it's evident that he stands at least a head taller than her, with reports suggesting that her prince charming could be around 184 cm (approximately 6 feet).
Long-distance love
Chiu also discussed the challenges of their long-distance relationship, with her working in Hong Kong while her husband is based abroad.
"We don't dwell on thoughts of losing each other," Chiu explained. "We both wish for one another’s success."
Even though they cannot meet often, she sweetly mentioned that they are always ready to support each other when needed.
Citing a time during the pandemic, Chiu mentioned her then-boyfriend welcomed her to move into his home after she grew concerned about her parents' health—and even took care of her throughout her stay.
She told the media back in September 2024 that her partner had plans to propose. Now, the beloved actress has finally tied the knot with her enigmatic prince charming.
