Selena Lee Doesn’t Mind Being Friends with Her Exes
Hong Kong actress Selena Lee (李施嬅) surprised netizens early this year when she broke off her four-years long engagement with celebrity coach Anson Cha (車崇健). Although the pair have split, they are giving each other a second chance by appearing in Chinese reality show See You Again 5 <再見愛人 5>. In the latest episode, Selena impressed netizens with her thoughtful take on relationship when asked if she will be friends with her exes.
While chatting with other guests, Selena confidently shared, “I think it’s rare for two people to fall in love in such a big world with hundreds of millions of people. Even if you love someone for six months or a year, they were still a significant part of your life. You were truly and completely devoted to loving that person and it’s not easy. I think it’s possible to be friends after breaking up, because there are not a lot of people in your life that you can love like this. So why can’t you be friends after breaking up?”
Selena’s response drew attention to her friendship with Myolie Wu’s (胡杏兒) husband, Philip Lee (李乘德), who Selena had previously dated, but maintained as friends even after their split. Their friendship is so strong that Selena is the godmother of Myolie and Philip’s three son. Selena is praised by the netizens for her ability to let go of the past and forming meaningful friendships.
As an actress, it could be lonely as many find it difficult to connect with people outside the entertainment industry. As a result, Selena reveals that she doesn’t reject blind dates, “When I was single, many of my friends wanted to introduce me to other people. I would go. My mom arranged for me to have dinner with a guy in Canada. It was a blind date. It was quite interesting.”
Selena continued, “Everyone there wanted to find a goal of finding a partner, so we were very direct. We were getting to know each other, and weren’t wasting each other’s time. I don’t think there is anything wrong with blind dates. You meet people, and even if you don’t end up together, you still make more friends. There’s no downside to it.”

Being friendly and being friends are very different and if she cannot distinguish that, she might just be the problem. She dog sits her exes dogs while they go on vacation with their new gf and that dog was adopted by the new gf and ex boyfriend and was not a shared dog during their relationship. It’s not about being petty, it’s about moving on, having boundaries, and growing as a human being and you cannot grow in the same environment you were stunted in
Words of wisdom coming from an ongoing ‘leftover’ woman that can’t keep a man by her side……..
Grow up. People break up in relationships at all ages or choose not to be in one at all.
