Linda Chung and Philip Ng’s Rumored Breakup

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Philip Ng (伍允龍) may have called it quits after six years together. Meeting on the set of Love is Not All Around <十分愛> in 2007, Linda and Philip were rumored to be an item though both referred to each other as only a good friend. Many were skeptical about their pairing, citing Linda’s greater popularity and money-earning power as sources of trouble in an unbalanced relationship. Despite the unfavorable public opinion, Linda stood by Philip’s side, and appeared sweetly in love whenever the press hinted about her secret relationship.

Although things seem to be going well for the low-profile couple, recently Philip was seen with a close female companion, prompting speculation that he has broken up with Linda. On September 12, Philip invited a young woman to attend the grand opening of friend Jazz Lam’s (林子善) restaurant. While the two pretended to be strangers in front of the cameras, they appeared close as they went shopping after the event. During their day out, the two often chatted and laughed over silly videos on their cellphones, and did not hesitate to look into each other’s eyes. Philip also acted like a gentleman, carefully supporting the woman as they made their way down an escalator.

In addition to Philip’s new female friend, Linda’s recent strange behavior also added fuel to the break up rumors. A source revealed, “Linda is known to be nice. She always spoke politely to everyone…. However, while filming Tiger Cubs 2 <飛虎II>, Linda was very moody. She even yelled at production assistants and at fans who went to visit. She also sat aside alone and cried her eyes out, ruining her makeup. Everyone was too afraid to ask what was wrong!”

At a dinner celebrating the end of filming for Tiger Cubs 2 on September 17, Linda appeared with glasses and little makeup, not making much effort to hide her pimples and dark circles around her bloated eyes. Close friends Christine Kuo (苟芸慧) and Grace Wong (王君馨) accompanied Linda throughout the entire evening and helped her dodge reporters’ questions. Afterwards, the girls fetched a taxi and took Linda home. With many thoughts on her mind, Linda looked lost and confused as she made her way to her building.

Regarding Linda and Philip’s split, the source said, “Philip suddenly decided to break up last month. He suggested for both of them to spend the next few years focusing on their own careers, and that if they still love each other, he would then consider getting back together. Philip was very insistent, so Linda helplessly accepted it. Later Linda discovered that Philip was getting close with his female friend. She felt like she was being lied to and hid at home to cry. She also spent time venting it out with good friends Christine Kuo, Leanne Li (李亞男), and Grace Wong.” The source also cited Linda’s busy schedule and Philip’s chauvinistic ambitions as reasons for their separation.

The press reached out to Linda for comments about her rumored break up. When asked about her current relationship with Philip, Linda insisted that she and Philip are just friends and that she is focusing on her career and would not think about anything else. When asked if she is aware of Philip’s new love interest, Linda said, “I know who you are talking about. She is someone from his church. That girl accompanies him everywhere.” Reporters then asked Linda whether she is upset about this. Linda replied, “No! I am very happy!”

  1. Linda has always been too good for Phillip. Now obviously he broke up with Linda because he has dated other woman behind her back. Good for Linda, she can do better.

  2. Good riddance to bad rubbish (Philip). Don’t know what she ever saw in that loser.

  3. Good for Linda! She will definitely find another better boyfriend.

  4. I think that rather or not Philip is a “good / better boyfriend” is up for Linda to decide, not the public to judge..

    Personally, any breakups is going to be bitter unless it’s done on “good terms”. But if you look at the video posted by doremi123, I don’t think this is true.. :S

    1. unless the things Philip said were a lie, but Linda hinted that she knew that girl as well. 😛

  5. Seriously u guys believe what reporters write??? Come on. I read half of it already know it’s all made up news. Linda will not yell at her coworkers and fans. Come on. And the video Philip already said that woman is his assistance. Linda knows who she is.

    Whoever Linda choose to date really is not our business. Kelly, Miriam, Joey all have partners that are less successful than them but are happy. Why we have to put Philip down just because he is not popular or make more money? Linda is just a simple person.

    1. whether these news are true or not, we all want the best for our idol, lindachung

      nicholas, i kind of agree with u to some extent, because we all know that the voting system for TVB queen is coming up adn these are just some of teh dirty ways that linda’s rivals (i.e. kate tsui) are using to stop linda from getting the award.

      1. How do you know that’s the dirty way the others used, insulting people that way is not very nice.

      2. If Linda does well, she will have the praises and nothing can stop her to victory. Dirty ways, well last year Kate involved in a love scandal rite before the award, so it means the winner last year did in dirty ways to stop Kate? By your logic.

      3. If this is not true, I’d think it means someone is spreading this rumour to get sympathy votes for Linda rather than stop her from getting the award.
        After all, if they want to stop her getting the award, the rumour going around would be her getting involved with a third party rather than Philip.

    2. Exactly and after reading so much rubbish from so many articles and reports over the years, I began to wonder about so many things that they say. We should not just blindly believe in everything that is written. IN most cases, they add in more salt and pepper as well as make things up out of the blue.

      1. Yeah. I always treat entertainment news/gossip as just that… for entertainment purposes only. After all, I’m just being a busybody reading and giving 2 cents worth of opinion/comments. Who am I to judge anyone of how they conduct their life? They may not even give a hoot to our opinion as we’re just nobodies to them.

    3. Kelly? If you meant Kelly Chen, her husband is from a very wealthy family.

  6. Glad she broke up with him.

    6 years!

    Luckily she got very good friends.

  7. Why is everyone so against Philip? And as the video posted by doremi123 noted – Linda is always the one with rumored boyfriends. Philip is an accomplished martial arts instructor and choreographer and he is an action director with credits in films as recent as 2013. So it’s not like he has no income and no career. How is that being a loser?

    1. Agree 101%. Don’t understand y it seems everybody is against him

    2. I agree! AND HE OWNS martial arts studios in AMERICA. Just because he’s not up in people’s faces on TVB doesn’t mean he has no income or he’s “garbage”

      1. Correct. He grew up in Chicago, got his Master’s degree from University of Illinois. His dad is an accountant in Chicago. Eventhough he is not using his degree to build his career, he has a job and not a loser.

  8. Dump that Philip-what’s-his-name and pick Ruco who’s better than him in every dept.

  9. Never in the years she admitted he is her bf, so wat is the point to bash even if he really dates someone else?

    In some places I see the fans bash the girl rumoring with Philip. I feel like wow, if Philip lied Linda, he should be blamed, not any girl. Some bash the poor girl’s look, oh well, even if she isnt pretty, she couldn’t have love?

    If such article is true, Philip dates the new girl.after broke up with Linda, a peaceful breakup with Linda’s agreement. So she can’t blame him.

    I always have the feeling Linda doesnt cherish Philip much, maybe it leads to his tiresome.

    1. First, we all know. So no need to make excuses. Secondly, why is everyone assuming he was cheating on her? Since she is ok with it, maybe it is not like some say it is?

      Looks to me they’re still a couple.

      1. Funn,
        I see marriage ahead for Linda and Philip, especially since they’ve been pretty open in telling press, “Nothing has changed; we’re still good friends”.

      2. So “good friends” is HK term for “We are dating and we are lovers and we are nearing engagement and I love him and he loves me and you can speculate all you want, I.AM.HIS.AND.HIS.ALONE”?

      3. because it’s not the first time philip got caught dating with another girl on in hk streets. when linda was back to vancouver earlier he also caught dating a model besides his infamous shot of ‘peeing in the streets’

    2. Just because someone does not admit that someone is their boyfriend/girlfriend does not mean that they aren’t dating. As we have seen in many cases where it is sooo obvious that they no longer need to admit it.

      I agree that WHY does everyone think that it is always the guy that cheats on the girl when a couple breaks up? Strange…

      1. Oh wow, wat’s about the comment like “s/he lied public” “liar” or “catch red hands” towards the old cases of dated couples? Linda never admitted, so cant blame even if Philip really dates someone on her back.

        In Linda’s particular case, because Txb bought an angelic image to her, obviously all guys left her cheated her.

      2. True, BUT in some cases when it is so obvious like in this case, they do not need to announce it. However, I still hate it that they have to deny/lie about it even when they are caught. I am not talking just about Linda’s case only because in many other cases it is not so obvious, but they are dating and are caught but still lie.

      3. Im in the opposite. I would be careless either they announce or deny, hide or reveal their love life. I also dun care that they lie or tell truth. Their love life, no need to tell the world. They also have reasons to deny/hide. Too many nosy ppl who wanna wreck a relationship. For example, the prediction of breakups, marriage, who is cheating who, etc.

        I have the problem with outsiders who care too much about such things more, especially some who make the lie to hide the relationship like crime but when it happens to some they like, an excuse is given like everyone must understand blah blah.

  10. Unfortunately, Raymond and Linda pairing can only happen on screen, Raymond is very much in love with Karena.

    1. even his career seems to revolve around karena now when he’s seemingly getting closer to karena’s management company

  11. Making news up again Linda, coz. she can’t do it with her poor acting!

  12. Both didn’t admitted they are couple now what is this breaking up news ….really funny in the ent circle.

  13. I personally think Linda and Philip match perfectly!!! I just want Linda to be happy and I know she don’t need someone that is rich or famous. That’s not what she is looking for! She needs someone that can protect her, care for her , a family man and loves her. It’s that simple. The entertainment industry just makes it complicated!!!

    Both grew up in North America, speaks English all the time, both goes to church and have Christian friends, both work hard for their dream career. Philip is not a loser. He definitely have enough money to take care of Linda. He have properties and martial art company!!! He has a job for god sakes!!

    1. Are you her mother, or father? You surely seem like you know both Linda and Phillip personally extremely well to be able to state what their needs and wants are in life lol.

  14. At this rate, they probably got back together, broken up, got back together again, broken up etc. 50 times already….geez. T__T hk tabloids…

  15. She’s very upset cos she has lost her v.. to him which she so publicly declares she wants to keep for marriage.

    1. How do you know? You took it? Come on! Purity still exists in this world. No sex before marriage is something very noble. Respect people who follow the rules!

      1. Likewise, how do you know she follows the rules? You were with her 24/7?

  16. Personally Linda just scream BORING to me. as an actress as well as a girlfriend.

  17. What a bad pic of Phillip he looks like the monkey king in chinese series.

  18. Purity is a personal choice. Let’s respect it and move on.

    It is a waste that a relationship breaks after 6 years. But there is no point to hold on if they are not one the same page.

    Sick when a man says lets see if we are fated to be together again after breakup. Be a real and responsible man. Have a clean break.

    Linda is working hard and this reflects through her improved acting skill over these years.

    Philip has a decent job.

    Physically they look cute as a couple. Let’s hope everything is just a rumour.

  19. I always thought he looked like a douchebag, looks like he turned out to be one.
