Caught Kissing in Taiwan, Myolie Wu Admits Dating New Boyfriend

After Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) was photographed kissing her new boyfriend Philip Lee in Taiwan last week, she finally admitted to her new romance. Meeting through mutual friends, it was love at first sight for the couple. Although they have been dating for only three months, Phil has reportedly proposed to Myolie.

Taking a short break from filming a Mainland Chinese show, Myolie met with Phil in Taiwan on January 24 to attend his friend’s wedding.  According to an insider, Phil was full of praises towards Myolie and introduced her to many of his friends at the wedding. Eager to settle down and become a family man, the 40-year-old has allegedly delighted Myolie with his marriage proposal.

Phil formerly worked in the financial sector in London. Upon returning to Hong Kong, he established his own headhunting agency and is also one of the investors in nightclub, Play. Standing at six-feet tall, Phil previously dated Selena Li (李詩韻) for one year and was also linked to Miss Chinese International 2012, Kelly Cheung (張曦雯).

Kissing on the Street

Myolie Wu boyfriendIn December, Myolie and Phil’s romance first came to light when they were spotted attending a charity gala together. To preserve their privacy, Myolie and Phil stated they were only friends attending the event together.

However, Myolie seems to have let her guard down when she visited Taiwan last week. After attending a wedding, the couple went to a nightclub to continue partying. They returned back to the hotel in the early morning hours.

On the second day, Myolie and Phil were seen dressed casually when they stepped outside of the hotel. After helping Myolie flag a taxi to the airport, Phil hugged and kissed her several times, apparently unwilling to say goodbye after their short reunion together.

Myolie Confirms Dating News

Responding to media inquiries over her new romance, Myolie said, “Yes, I’m currently dating. My boyfriend is great. Please don’t scare him away!” She promised to provide more details on her relationship when she returns to Hong Kong.

Myolie’s ex-boyfriend, Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), sent his blessings to Myolie for finding love again. Bosco said, “I have to try harder on my end, but I’m prioritizing work first.”

  1. Hope they’ll last…but I doubt by looking at the girls he dated previously.

    1. agree. i am awfully suspicious of guys not in showbiz dating actress after actress. it’s like they see them as trophies.

      1. he dated only selena li, the other girl is not really an actress. how is that too much?

      2. three is plenty enough for a guy i think. and these are the only ones the media sniffed out. could be more.

      3. dating 3 women is enough? Were you in an arranged marriage? How stupid of a statement is taht.

  2. Congratulations to Myolie! I am so happy that she found love. However I am just a little bit afraid that this guy might be a player given his profile (40 year old rich bachelor, nightclub owner, celebrity dating history etc.). Hopefully it is not the case!
    I can’t wait to hear the confirmation from Myolie if the engagement news is true. Marriage after just a few months of dating is a bit quick but it proves that he is serious about her.

    1. I wish myolie all the best in her relationship…and hope this guy is true to her.

    1. Maybe she introduced them seeing as they met through friends

    2. Not really if Selena ended the relationship with Phil long ago.

    3. The past is the past. Selena should just be professional and just wish Phil and Myolie happiness.

  3. I doubt it will last. They may get married but I guess the man will still have affairs. Myolie shouldn’t accept his proposal, should wait for a few years to see his true colours

    1. by that time, she is too old to even date another man or even have kids.

      1. Hopefully she will not be cheated again, after marriage can still divorce, its normal these days

    2. myolie should just take her chance with this man, as he already proposed to her, maybe Selena just didn’t meet him when he was ready to marry a girl. too bad. myolie is a great catch, tall, model figure, cute looks, what more can a man ask for? she definite UPGRADED from purpled-lip smoker Bosco Wrong(her.)

      1. Based from HK peple says, Selena is a clubbing and party girl. Which mom wants someone like her as a daughter in law especially if the suitor is someone as high calibre like this Phil? Myolie is a better wife material.

      2. i think it was after she broke up with patrick tang that she went a little crazy and went partying for a short while. her image was squeaky clean before, and i think her partying days are over already.

    3. The guy is 40, Myolie’s 35. Maybe he feels the need to settle down since he’s already 40 and already have successful career and wealth, only lacking a family

    4. It’s definitely a step ahead for Myolie from her ex Bosco who still struggling as an ugly actor in mainland and HK. Besides Phil is taller, richer and match Myolie’s elegant style and success more.

      1. Wow,I still sense bitterness towards Bosco and find that sad. For your information, Bosco is not a struggling actor in China. He is pretty successful and often plays leading roles. He is also not ugly but of course looks are down to a matter of opinion. However,it is not nice to call him or anyone ugly. I do not feel Myoile is elegant but is more of the cute type. I do not feel Bosco’s level of success is anything less than Myolie. Sure this Phil guy may have a bit more money but is money all Myolie is after?

      2. Bosco cheated on Myolie, fans have all the reason to be bitter.

        Now you may not believe this, but if anyone followed the hk news back then and can read between the lines of what birth party (and others) said/implied, it’s pretty obvious it was Bosco’s infidelity that led to their breakup. So good for Myolie dumping his are.

  4. so happy for myolie finally can kiss openly without hiding! The guy sounds so serious about her since he already proposed. Good catch he seems gentleman and financially stable! Who caree if he’s Selena’s ex they dated in 2013 and already break up. As we all know Selena is pretty but is well known in HK as a wild party girl, now she has a new bf, maybe Phil don’t see Selena as wife candidate.

    1. Well who knows for sure if he proposed or not? Time will tell.

  5. Yes, she should, I agree. So terribly disappointed she dating someone else. What’s the matter with Kevin!!

    1. Kevin is Myolie’s best friend. You don’t date your beatfriend besides Kevin has too many female fans and is an insecure potential bf. Myolie also wants someone out of the industry.

      1. Maybe Myolie is wary of Kevin’s past with Charmaine and Niki and think they’re better off as bestfriends.

    2. kevin is charmaine’s leftovers, I’m sure myolie does not want the media to paint some torrid triangle between them.

      1. Charmaine, Niki’s and some girl at nightclubs. Some guys are better kept as bffs, but not bf or husband material

  6. Myolie seems to be attracted to players. I don’t think this will end well.

    1. this man is already 40 yrs old, how much playing yrs do u think he has left. he is ready to settle down. she’ll be fine, no need for u to worry for her. happiness is in her hands, not urs.

    2. What proof you have that Phil is a player. Sharon, Mandy, Nancy all said that Phil is a gentleman. He’s an upgrade from the poorer, shorter, uglier and less gentleman Bosco Wong.You black heart should just wish Myolie happiness. I can’t stand some commenters black hearts in this article.

      1. U can’t truly tell. He could pretend to be a gentlemen around her.looking at his past… Pretty sure this relationship won’t end well too.

      2. michelle, fortune telling should be for you. just don’t go broke from flipping head or tails.

      3. Boy Jenny,you surely are a Bosco hater. You had better be careful with your words before Bosco fans come and blast you. How do you this Phil guy is great and all? The next thing you know,he is caught cheating and doing other bad things. That is when you will regret what you have said.

      4. HTS, why you are bashing Phil that much? How do you know he isnt a nice guy? I understand you are speaking for Bosco but it makes you and Jenny in the same page.

      5. Dude,I am not bashing Phil,but I do not want to over praise him since I hardly know anything about him. I was just stating a possibly but of course I did not intend to say that he will do anything bad for sure. How would I or anyone know? That Jenny is opening insulting and blasting Bosco. Did I say anything like that about Phil?NO!

      6. Well Hetieshou you sounds just like a jealous Bosco fan who jealous because Myolie found her true love first. You don’t know Phil more than Myolie and her bffs do. Stop bashing him!

      7. @Jenny: Should you say the same thing to yourself? Like how you drag innocent Karena in to say she is a gold digger. Do you know her more than her friends and family to know she is a real gold digger or not? You ask for the stop, you should stop as well.

      8. My black heart? I said he is a “player” not without reason since he’s been caught in the tabloids a number of times. Here you are acting all “outraged” just because some posters aren’t that impressed with Phil when the real hypocrisy of it all is that you yourself do not know Bosco personally, neither do you know any of us personally yet you insult us with venomous names like “black heart”.

        Stop with the hypocrisy and fake outrage. And making multiple comments under different user names won’t help your cause either.

  7. Hope Myolie reconcile with Bosco like Carina and Tony Leung. Remember in the old day Carina and Tony leung also break up but they last until now.

    Looking at this guy dating history, doubt the relationship will last.

    1. how is Bosco any better? he always had a leering eye thru out their relationship. he was also younger than myolie, thus even more immature. he dated her for 8 yrs without even proposing. this phil guy dates myolie for 3 months and already know he’s got a great girl beside him, he know how to appreciate myolie. s top rigging on her new romance, sounds like bosco’s fans are just jealous.

      all players eventually settle down, being player in your youth doesn’t mean you don’t want to find a wife and have children at 40. myolie is the right girl to make phil realize what he really wants at this pt in his life.

    2. You have such ill intent, watch your words. What is so hard to just wish Myolie happiness? It shows something passionate that Phil proposes after 3 months and ready to settle down his life with her while Bosco was with her for 8 years and never asks her hand in marriage! Phil was with Selena for a year but he never proposes, shows something here.

      Agree. Phil is mature at 40 and Myolie has hinted she wants to settle down. Phil is right enough, stable financial and physically. Great catch.

    3. Have you ever thought that Phil’s relationship with Selena went down because of Selena’s active nightlife? If she was a wife material, one year is enough to ask her hand in marriage but he didn’t. Instead he’s confident enough to ask Myolie after 3 months.

    4. How is what Ita is saying makes her have ill intentions? I am sure she means well. You seriously do not know what the future holds. None of us are Yue Lao or his assistant so how would any of us knkw who will end up with who? People can marry for years and years and one day end up with their first love again. Bosco haters all think so badly of him even though they do not know him personally. I highly doubt Bosco fans are jealous at all because there are plenty of great girls out there so it is not like Bosco is totally missing out just because he did not end up with Myolie. Please stop praising Myolie like she is a goddess and make it seem like Bosco is a devil.

      1. Bosco cheated so that automatically makes him the bad guy. Sorry but fact is fact.

        Even after the break up Bosco’s mom (and bosco himself) had nothing but praise for Myolie despite Myolie trying to distance herself from him. He messed up a great relationship

  8. Happy for her. But is he a good candiate as a husband? Seems like his history is quite colorful especially when he is the owner of nightclubs…..always surrounded with young flirty women…..

    Just hope for the best.

  9. Congrats to her! They actually look pretty cute in the pictures. Myolie can finally have normal dates instead of having to hide all the time.

    1. That’s the best part. Now Myolie and Phil can happily and freely date without hiding anymore. They look very sweet together.

  10. re some of the comments here – why are you so sure this Phil is a high caliber, gentlemanly, financially well off person and Bosco’s not? i am not sure he’s more well off than bosco really.

    1. he seems myolie’s type, thats all that matters. as long as she likes him. myolie is not a gold digger, she probably likes refined men with taste and great manners the way her friends describe this guy. usually female friends are nosy and nitpick guys apart, if he gets her crazy showbiz friends approval, means he is a gd catch.

    2. Obviously Phil is better off. Bosco only relies on acting and one small restaurant, Phil owns two companies and is a financial mogul expert. He’s a refined guy and ready to settle down at 40. You should respect Myolie’s choice instead of wishing for something that she doesn’t want.

      Agree, all of Myolie’s bffs praises him and gives their approval for her to marry him.

      1. Is it just all about who has more money? If that was the case then you are all making it sound like Myolie is a gold digger or something.

      2. Nothing about gold digging here, ask that to Karena. Someone of Myolie’s calibre have enough money than ever and it’s just right that she marry someone more powerful and not lesser than her.

      3. Dont ask that to anyone but yourself, Jenny. You are making the fans of Myolie look bad.

      4. financial mogul! and you know that from which source??! please he owns a firm that does IT recruitment. and is an “investor” in PLAY. but how much equity does he hold? not saying this to discredit him but am just adding to context to what you read in the press. If bosco takes on a few dramas in the Mainland, that will makes his income go through the roof. if you look at the forbes top 100 chinese celebrities – some of them are not even half known and visbile in the day to day press but they make more than decent money.

      5. If he can have two business under his name that shows phil’s financially stable enough to support a wife and a family and at 40 he’s seen the world enough and even if he played in his youths, 40 is a great age to settle down.

        Myolie is in the forbes list for two or three past years. bosco never made it to the forbes list.

    3. Well said Tessa! I honestly am not sure about this Phil guy but some seem to hate Bosco that even if Myolie was with a jerk, they would praise like he is a god. Basically,as long as she is not with Bosco they are happy. I can totally imagine that one day if they ever reconciled, those Bosco haters may get a heart attack.

      1. Read Phil’s long post about Myolie and you’ll see that Bosco and Myolie won’t be back together. This guy has all that Bosco doesn’t have and can’t give to Myolie.

        “She bring the best out of me” Phil.

      2. i have some half-baked knowledge of this guy (and i say half baked cos i take everything people tell me with a pinch of salt). not all that glitters is gold. i might be completely wrong but we can never really know unless we are privy to his life or myolie’s life.

  11. Obsessed fan on the loose. Lmao I wonder if it’s 1 person posing as many, or Myolie suddenly has new fans. 😛

    Anyway, it’s no big deal. Casual dating or serious, it’s her choice.

    1. However, Myolie has hinted about settling down, so I think she’s not looking for casual relationships.

    2. I agree and you can hide behind the username but not your actual voice.

  12. many nightclubs in hk have connections or lead by triads,and this guy seems to have eyes for beauties too,so i hope myolie will think twice before she accept the proposal of this gentlemen.

    1. Who are you? Myolie knows this guy well and you don’t, you should respect her choice instead of linking an innocent financial expert to triad!

    2. I think Myolie is adult enough to think for herself. Besides every player also have time where they met the special one who can change him, especially when he’s turning forty. This is already an upgrade from Bosco Huang who didn’t treasure her so we should accept Myolie’s choice 🙂

  13. Why cant people get over the Boscolie? Some Myolie fans bashed Vanessa when Bosco had relationship with her, now Bosco fans bashed Phil for relationship with Myolie. They broke up for few years and moved on. The fans should do the same.

    1. Very well said and I find it sad that people cannot move on and let bygones be bygones.

    2. @alluka,yes im a fan of myolie,thats why im concerned about myolie that she would hurt again,and not that im bashing phil because im a bosco fan or not moved on. i just feel something is not alright about this guy. but i could be wrong of course,so i hope i misjudge this guy.

      1. She is already an adult and she knows what she is doing, better than the fans. Understanding that the fans will worry for her but she can handle the situation. Judging/Bashing her current bf or ex just give her more pressure. As a fan, I think the fans should stay calm and cool.

        I never care or worry for any artist I like to have a relationship. They are also humans, they need to live their lives. Fans should just support their work and careless about their private life. I think only the anti-fans care much about the private life of an artist, in order to bash.

      2. You should check his facebook. Phil has just posted a declaration of love for Myolie. Among which he emphasized that he respect and appreciate her very much. So sweet and romantic! What more do you want him to prove? As a Myolie fan you should bless her happiness instead of doubting her decision when you don’t know him!

      3. So yes I think you judge too fast just based on his past dating histories and nightclub ownership. He’s a sweet and loving guy based on his open declaration for Myolie.

      4. @alluka,but still she only knows him just for about 3 month now and he already have proposed,is this not a bit too fast? i ask myself how many times do they already met? it needs time to know each other,the begin of a relationship is always sweet but in time you will know all the bad habits of the other person, myolie needs 8 years to know that bosco isnt the right one,so i hope she will reconsider,3 month and then proposal is not normal.

      5. @chan: If a 20-day romance of Da S can last well in a marriage, a 3-month romance of Myolie can. Time isnt the problem, love is.

      6. i hope so alluka lets think positive,at the end nothing is sure in this world.

    3. It seems more like some of Myolie’s fans, or maybe just 1, tends to drag Bosco into the situation. The comments seem ok so far, but when you diss Bosco, of course supporters will come to defend.

  14. Congrats to Myolie, hope she will be happily ever after with this new boyfriend.

    At last now the media and those annoying BOSCOLIE fans can stop linking Bosco and Myolie together. They’ve moved on. Myolie has found her other half and Bosco is also happy with his life and career now as he’s gradually making a name in China.

  15. Congratulations to Myolie! I’m seriously happy for her. Finally she found the one. Yeah 3 months to propose sounds a bit fast but it can also mean the guy saw something special in Myolie to encourage him to end his bachelor life after 40 years. I mean who wouldn’t. Myolie is a good woman. I wonder if Bosco looks at this news with regret that he didn’t treasure her enough.

  16. I don’t know about already marrying after only three months of dating… But I guess she wasted too many time on that cheater to wait too long and start a family. Just hope this Phil guy treats her right.

    1. she wasted 7 years on that fella. that’s a long time for a woman.

  17. Do you think they will last?
    A fast proposal will only lead to
    a similar fast ending.

    1. finally someone with the same thought.

      people saying boscolie dated for 8yrs and bosco didn’t even propose and blabla.

      but i don’t think proposing after only dating for 3 months is a good idea either.

      how well can you know someone in 3 months? especially for them when they can only meet 2-3 a month?

  18. Generally speaking, being proposed after 3 month of dating should be a warning consideration sign for any girl. The timing is too short. How well do you know someone to make a lifetime commitment in 3 months?? I have made that mistake once. Was engaged after 4 months of dating, the guy cheated, and we end up divorce. Guy at 40 does not mean they need to be settling down. They can easily find younger chick since they are loaded. If I were Myolie, I would put my guard on. Nothing against Phil, but that is a general life lesson.

    1. younger chicks have nothing in common with a much older guy. guys at 40 are looking for someone to start a family with. usually young girls are still in their partying ways. maybe he and myolie just clicked. just give this couple a chance, why are some ppl so bent on being negative all the time?

      sorry guys know right away if they want to just date you or marry you. feel bad that you met a bad guy but that doesn’t mean myolie will incur the same situation. theres hundreds of millions of ppl out there, are you saying everyone is the same in personality? its not a one shoe size fits all.

      1. whats the difference between 3 months and 8 yrs? she knew bosco for that many yrs and the result? it doesn’t matter how long u know them, if they want to cheat, they will. so all ladies should just chill out a little, when it happens, then deal with it then(and break up), no way to find out ahead.

      2. Like I say, nothing against this couple. Generally speaking, the chance and risk factor for 3 months are greater since it is too short to know and understand someone. I would advise any ladies out there as well as Myolie to have second thought if a guy proposed to you in 3 month.

        What is the different between 3 months and 8 years? Time is a huge different. Time that allows you to understand one person. Time that allows to see certain things that may be blinded at first sight. Time that bring you thru the up and down. Time that help you two grow together. You may argue that being with someone for 8 year (ahem Boscolie) could also ended badly. But the risk factor are lower. We can’t speak for every relationships as everyone is differ. But we can speak generally. And generally, 3 months for engagement is too quick.

        I find it very untrue that men know right away if they just want to date or marry. You can have the mentality of dating for marriage but I do not believe in “I know I want to marry you from the start”. Everything take time and 3 month is a short time for lifetime commitment..

      3. 3 months and phil already confessed in facebook public that myolie is a great, considerate girlfriend and brings the best in him and post a sweet couple pic of them. 8 years and bosco never once confess or describe myolie in such sweet details to public despite myolie spends her 35-32 golden youth age with him. You can already see who is better.

      4. The circumstance are different, Jenny. Bosco is an TVB artist while Phil is not. We all know how TVB control their artist. They may not be able to express their relationship the way they wanted due to their status. Why did you think so many artist hide their relationship? It is just a recent trend that artist goes open about their relationship.

        Sweet words are dangerous and honestly..does not mean anything. Yes, it’s easy on the ear but also not hard to say 😉

  19. So much talk and speculation already? Only time will tell…..We all shall patiently wait and see.

  20. “worked in financial sector in london” – financial sector is a really loose term. was he in investment banking Front Office? was in retail / consumer back office? i mean the press these days think readers were born yesterday. and “worked in financial sector” equates to great wealth? come on.

    1. He did not work in ibanking. I think the media plays it up like he’s some finance whiz at Goldman Sachs. He’s my second degree connection on LinkedIn so I was able to see his full profile. He seems to mainly work in recruitment. The only finance position he had was as a senior consultant at City Financial Planners.

  21. eh how much does it take to register a company? just saying…
    and he declares his love on facebook and we take it as gospel. good for you you have not lost faith in the human species

  22. Considering how much myolie works, she may be richer than both bosco and her new beau. I’m skeptical that her new boo is monetarily richer than Bosco…Bosco does a lot of investments on the side and his dramas rake in dough too.

    Just cus a guy is 40 doesn’t mean he’s ready to settle down. I don’t think he wants to marry yet either – in fact he even stated it earlier.

    Myolie should always be careful. As she gets older she doesn’t have as much time to have kids if she wants them naturally. If this guy doesn’t envision a long term relationship for both of them within a yr or two, then she should consider ending it ASAP. However maybe she’ll get lucky and end up a married woman who knows.

  23. Honestly after being with someone for 4 yrs, if there’s no plans for marriage in sight, women should break it off ASAP. Look at Shirley and now look at Myolie and then look at Lynn Xiong. Let that be a lesson for the ladies in here.

  24. 30 Jan – Businessman Philip Lee has recently released a statement on Facebook to clarify rumours surrounding his relationship with TVB actress, Myolie Wu.

    Previously, news of their relationship made headlines when the two of them were spotted acting chummy in Taiwan after attending a wedding together – prompting the actress to finally confessed their relationship.

    The confession also led to another rumour saying that Philip has already proposed to Myolie to marry him.

    However, according to HK Channel, the businessman was quick to deny this through his Facebook, saying, “Yes, I am dating. I am very happy and my girlfriend is amazing. She is kind, caring, and considerate. She brings the best out of me, we get on very well and I appreciate and respect her very much.”

    “But NO, I have not proposed as per some rumours, so thank you. No need to send your congratulations just yet.”

    Philip also expressed his hopes that the members of the media and the public will respect their privacy and will not publish any picture he uploaded on Facebook on traditional or digital print.

    Meanwhile, Myolie recently responded to rumours about Philip’s philandering ways, saying that she trusts him completely.
