Jennifer shared a video on Weibo on April 26 showing Wong attending one of Nicholas’s concerts, captioning it “The sweetest” with a heart emoji, according to Sinchew.

Hong Kong media interpreted the post as a subtle show of approval for the couple’s romance. Many Weibo users commented that the Tse family seemed to have embraced Wong as “part of the family.” This marks the first time a member of the Tse family has publicly acknowledged Wong, nearly three decades after her relationship with Nicholas first made headlines.

Some fans praised the family’s recognition of Wong, contrasting it with what they saw as a lack of warmth toward Nicholas’s ex-wife, actress Cecilia Cheung. Others pointed to the couple’s 25-year on-and-off romance, calling it “a true love story.”

Their relationship remains a topic of fascination, trending on Chinese social media for days. Professor Chen Zhihao from the University of Hong Kong noted that their enduring bond had moved beyond entertainment news and become a reflection of changing social attitudes toward age-gap relationships.

Wong quietly attended two nights of Nicholas’s “Evolution Nic Live” concert tour, which he resumed after a 20-year hiatus. On April 25, during his performance of the ballad “Jade Butterfly,” she was seen removing her sunglasses, wiping away tears, and swaying to the music. The moment was captured in a short video that went viral, drawing billions of views. The next day, Nicholas reposted the video with the caption: “The stage is complete because of you,” marking their first public interaction since rekindling their relationship in 2014.

Fans have long viewed “Jade Butterfly” as the couple’s unofficial love anthem. The lyrics, “Like a butterfly transforming, becoming your light”, are widely believed to reference Wong. During the concert, 2,800 intelligent lights created a “falling galaxy” effect to heighten the emotional atmosphere. Nicholas was seen in tears during the performance, a moment that moved many and was widely viewed as a natural expression of their enduring love.

Born into a family of artists, Nicholas, 44, moved to Canada with his parents at the age of eight. In 1995, he studied music in Tokyo before launching his entertainment career the following year. He rose to fame as a singer in 1996 and successfully transitioned to acting two years later with roles in TV series and films like “New Police Story” and “Shaolin”. He later expanded his career to include directing, producing, and entrepreneurship, amassing a net worth of approximately US$143 million.

His romance with Wong, 11 years his senior, began in 2000 at the height of Wong’s singing career. Nicholas later married actress Cecilia Cheung in 2006. The couple had two sons before divorcing in 2011.

In September 2014, Nicholas was revealed to have rekindled his relationship with Wong, who by then had gone through two marriages, to Chinese singer Dou Wei and actor Li Yapeng, and had two daughters.

Wong gained fame in the 1990s after moving from Beijing to Hong Kong at the age of 18. She became a well-known figure in Cantonese music and earned international recognition for her roles in films by Wong Kar-wai, such as “Chungking Express” and “2046”.
