Marco Ngai Comments on Breakup with Joyce Tang

TVB star Joyce Tang (滕麗名) had always wanted a family of her own, and it appears that this dream will finally be realized soon.

3 Weekly reported earlier this week that Joyce’s boyfriend of three years, Canon executive Matthew Chu, had proposed to Joyce last year during their trip to New Zealand. It is reported that the couple will hold their marriage in late 2013.

As a result, Awfully Lawful <熟男有惑>, a legal comedy drama that will premiere next week, may be Joyce’s last television drama for TVB. It has been said that Joyce has decided to forgo the opportunity for a contract renewal with her mother station, and will put full focus on being a wife and a mother.

Joyce’s ex-boyfriend of nine years, former Armed Reaction <陀槍師姐> costar Marco Ngai (魏駿傑), reacted negatively towards the rumors of Joyce’s marriage. On the mainland Chinese variety program Battle of the Sexes <男左女右>, a dating game show, Marco expressed his bitterness at the press for putting the blame on him and victimizing Joyce in their breakup.

On why he ended up breaking up with Joyce in 2007, Marco said, “I dated her for many years. We were a couple on screen and off. Because of that, the audience thought we were really compatible. But then if I don’t marry her, I’ll end up being called the sinner, the bad guy.”

Marco also shared, “I did some research, and statistics state that those who chose to marry after three years of dating had a higher divorce rate than those who have flash marriages.” Marco then added, “So I think that those who don’t do flash marriages are wrong.”

Marco also hinted that had he and Joyce married, they would probably end up in divorce anyway.

Joyce was not at all disturbed by Marco’s statements, and in a brief phone interview with 3 Weekly, the former singer hinted that Marco was using her for promotion. “I’m not embarrassed. Maybe the audience was curious about us. I’m not upset. Why would I be upset at someone who is not relevant to my life?”

Joyce did not confirm the rumor that she will be married soon, but assured that if it were true, she would announce it.

  1. Wow, where did he get those statistics from?! Such a jerk…

    1. The problem is not he is not marrying her after years of dating but it’s him CHEATING on Joyce with a very young lady!!
      Plus WTS?! Flash marriage is good?!!
      Laugh till my stomach cramp!!! Flash marriages, especially due to pregnancy are top of the reason of divorce!!
      You hardly know someone, get marriage then maybe in just one-two years felt incompatible and divorce!!
      So? He is saying Ekin is not a good man? Since he dated Yoyo for 7 years then only get married

      1. When is this guy doing to receive an award? If he hasn’t yet, he should be given “The Jerk of the Year” award title.

    2. I almost puked when I read that he “did some research” …wtf, “hmmm…it’s time I hop onto the net to find some stats and figs about marriage rates and what not to refute the media’s claims..”

      Someone please tell this guy to shutup.

    3. @Lily, I know right? Plus even if that is true, just because there is a really HIGH chance of divorce because the couple dated for more than 3 years, does not mean that ALL couples WILL divorce if they do so.

    1. totally agree on this!!! Joyce looks great and is looking better than ever whilst Marco the jerk seems old n botoxed.

  2. He’s such a douce, after 9 yrs, he traded Joyce for a younger woman, and without a “sorry i’ve wasted 9 years of your life” he can’t even be a fake gentleman. What a waste of space, and to bring up such statistic is so ignorant of him, as if he is so sure his “flash” marriage will last forever.

    I am happy Joyce have finally found what she deservea, anyone is better than Marco Ngai.

    1. Agreed, that’s why it’s good for women to have their own plans and stick to it. Women should not wait too many years.

    2. agree big douchebag! probably using joyce for publicity! he’s too much a jerk that he don’t even bother to fake being a gentleman!

  3. Gosh, just shut up. Still bitter after 5 years? LOL

    1. Maybe things are not so great on his end? LOL 🙂

      1. Yeah, he probably is just jealous that Joyce has found her happiness while he has none.

      2. LOL 🙂 he looks stressed n unhappy whilst Joyce looks glowing. I’ll say the old cow not digesting tender grass well

  4. Wow, apparently he’s a bigger a**hole then I thought. The only positive I can see is at least she didn’t end up marrying him and his inflated ego.

  5. Wasted 9 years of her life and that’s all he can say when there’s happy news on her end? Glad she didn’t marry him for sure!

  6. Sounds like somebody is jealous that Joyce is getting married to someone who has a real career, so he’s raining on her parade. Get over it, Marco. Go back to your little Mainland wife and suck a lemon.

  7. Thank God they broke up. Joyce doesn’t need a man like that!

  8. What a big fat pile of BS. He’s a cheating #shf!$ is why he is blamed, because he is the worthless thing he is.

  9. big jerk! not only he cheated on joyce to marry a young mainland woman but now when joyce ready to get married this ungentleman jerk suddenly come out with this cheap words to get back to joyce! you already destroyed her life ugly old man what more do you want! jerk! much prefer if he just wish her well like gentleman or at least pretend to!

  10. Such a “ngai kwan ji” (偽君子) and yes, pun intended!

    1. Good one! X) I really like him as an actor, especially in ‘Split Second’ and the ‘Armed Reaction’ series. I can’t believe he would say such things, it’s not good for his image. After so many years of being together, can’t he just let go of the past and wish her well? By the way, I think Joyce Tang still looks so beautiful!

  11. oh please, as if the so called ‘statistics’ justify his actions in cheating. That’s the lamest excuse ever. What a jerk

    1. Agree! Unbelievably lame. He’s the one who’s ended up looking like a cow!

  12. If he wants to trash talk his ex, it’s his right. However, I do think his agent (if he has one) needs to advise him to zip the lip because he’s obviously not doing himself any favours by opening his mouth. He already got a bad rep from his infidelity, and now he’s just making it worse. Btw, I’m not saying he’s right to cheat on Joyce, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say he wasted 9 years of Joyce’s life. She chose to be with him, so technically, she wasted 9 years of her own life. Just saying.

    1. I have to disagree, based on the article, Marco said “I dated her for many years. We were a couple on screen and off. Because of that, the audience thought we were really compatible.” … so that tells me he knew they were not compatible, yet he stayed with her 9 years, yes she might have chosen to stay with him, but if he came out and told her after a year or two of dating, you think she would stick around for 9 years to be left for a younger woman?

      1. @Trang,
        Agreed, sounds like Marco likes them young and “obedient”. Joyce is better off without a “loser” like that.

  13. Marco sounds bitter and jealous. If this is Marco’s way of getting publicity and trying to remain relevant in the news, he needs to think again.

    His “statistics” are so full of crap and clearly meant to imply that Joyce and Matthew will divorce. What a poor excuse of a man and human being. I don’t recall Joyce commenting on his wedding with that gold digger a few years back.

    Good riddance that Marco is no longer doing any acting!!

  14. Good joyce does not need to face Marco for life. Matter is Joyce found someone better.

  15. “So I think that those who don’t do flash marriages are wrong.”

    And he doesn’t think of himself as the bad guy. Okay Mr. Flash Diarrhoea Mouth.

  16. it seems like hes the only one thats still left in the past. still can’t move on, he has to research for a come back

  17. Assuming the research is real and was conducted in controlled settings there are plausible factors that might explain the result.

    1. the reason for flash marriages is economic by nature hence won’t as easily be affected by feelings/emotions

    2. sampling bias, responsibility is the reason for the couples marrying after 3yrs.

    Unnecessary comments from him, prolly blame her for his failing career. Plus the fact the his wife might leave him “flash marriage” LOL

  18. Oh please! Still ‘bitter’ and talking crap about Joyce after so many years? Please grow up!

    I used to like Marco as an actor and would still prefer to watch him in a series than many of the current artists who can’t act…BUT aside from the acting piece, there’s pretty much nothing worth salvaging in him…he’s definitely a jerk no matter what he tries to say to defend himself. I lost all respect for him years ago…

  19. Seems like it’s been a long time all commenters AGREE with the same thing v^^v

  20. Huge fan of Marco and Joyce back in the days. But, Marco is such a jerk after the break up. He’s a versatile actor and all, but he’s not off-screen. Like Joyce said, he’s probably using her for publicity.

  21. Yeah I never really got why they were together they didn’t seem that compatible on screen I mean he started dating her when she was 18….but anyways they both moved on. It’s a shame though I thought he was a talented actor I guess those that posses an arrogant personality are usually quite talented like seriously some of the worlds most talented artistes are a**holes .

    Idk if the media twisted his words around cause that flash marriage comment sounds stupid and unethical.

    1. I know Marco is a bug-eyed douche-bag but wasn’t aware he started dating Joyce when she was 18. What a waste of 9 years’ youth on an unworthy person who isn’t even gentleman enough to wish her well.
      Look deeper and we may realise this scumbag prolly deserves some sympathy cos if he’s trying so hard to defend flash marriage, there must be something wrong with his current marriage and he’s trying to convince himself and fool others that it’s much better than another 3 years getting to know each other.
      Though we’re not sure what the future brings, would like to wish Joyce happiness and hope the guy she chose treats her well. The only way to piss off a certain jerk is to lead a blissful and happier life than him.

  22. “the former singer hinted that Marco was using her for promotion”

    Only now I know Joyce Tang was her singer before. I’ve never heard her sing. Wonder how she sounds.

  23. I think both of them have issues, not just Marco. Takes one to date one.

    1. I think Marco dated Joyce when she was still young. I mean, wasn’t Armed Reaction one of her first major dramas along with Kindred Spirit? She is still young in her career and in life. Compound that with the fact that she was supposed to have this romance with her co-star, I can see why she got together with him. Though I agree that Joyce has a habit of finding wrong men. Maybe she has low self-esteem, jumps into relationships too fast, or just let people walk on her?

    2. Maybe they both do have issues?? But it seems like Joyce is over it while Marco is not.

  24. They’ve been broken up for so many years now. Weird how he replies so negatively to Joyce’s new love life.

    Will miss Joyce if she chooses not to act anymore after marriage. She still looks so good after all these years. More mature, but still gorgeous.

  25. Even if they’re at odds with each other.
    Marco’s behavior is unacceptable, considering the fact that they are public figures, and that was broadcasted on television.
    There’s a saying “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.
    He doesn’t even have to show grace and wish her well, just shutting up would be nice.

  26. Why cant the media just leave them alone. Joyce need to concentrate on her new found happiness.

  27. Real classy guy, isn’t he?

    I am glad that the rxnship did not work out, poor Joyce probably would end up in an unhappy marriage to this loser. Kudos to Joyce and Matthew for planning to tie the knot, she deserves to be happy.

  28. if i were him, i would have felt SO HAPPY for her cause she is getting married, she will have a nice husband and a happy life- something he has never been able to give her. He should have felt less guilty too cause he CHEATED ON HER but i guess he has never felt guilty in the first place. SO IF I WERE HIM I WOULD GIVE HER MY BLESSING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

    1. Agreed, but if he had a “conscience”, he wouldn’t cheat in the first place.

      BTW, Joyce looks better than his wife. LOL 🙂

  29. Regardless of whose fault it was, the past is indeed the past. Can’t Marco just let it go?? Maybe he is unhappy because she finally found happiness while he is unhappy?

    1. yeah i think so. his wife married him cause he was rich an popular, guess not anymore.

  30. Can’t believen what I am reading.

    Good riddance to him!

  31. He should be a real man and wish them a blissful marriage instead of being his true self (which btw is a total @$$hole)! Such a loser! This type better dump them like a flash … tsk tsk tsk!

    1. he could have faked it and gave her his blessing.

  32. “Marco hinted that had he and Joyce married, they would probably end up in divorce anyway.”
    OFCOURSE, because Joyce will divorce with u and choose for a better man….
    You are such a jerk MARCo NGAI, leave this world as fast as u can….

  33. This is so ungentleman. Just move on with digity and stop making non-constructive comments.

    Looking about research….excuse me, are you a researcher? What is your sample size? Population size? Type of distribution used? Any boundary conditions? Please…………

    As quoted from Albert Einstein “weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character “.

    It is time to move on and wish others well.

    1. ungentleman AND NOT TOO SMART. He should have kept his mouth shut if he had nothing nice to say. Now everyone just resents him.

  34. marco ngai had ugly plastic?.. end of his acting carrer

  35. Such different attitude. Bernice congratulated Moses and Aimee, but, Marco said bitter things.

    1. But then again Bernice could have kept all those bitter feelings to herself which is the right thing to do since there is no point in saying bitter things anymore. Marco could have done the same thing but sadly ended up blasting Joyce and exploding.

  36. What is his problem. He’s just jealous of her cuz she’s happy and he’s not. Let it go already, loser.

  37. http://tvbnewsworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/joyce-tang-exposed-married-marco-ngai.html

    EWWWW!! Something must be totally wrong with this sick man!!! SHAMELESS!!!

    On Weibo, Joyce reposted a Netizen’s comment scolding what Marco said on the show. She first referenced the earlier ‘hacker’ incident: “Can it be that there is another hacker causing trouble? Even the reporter thought this is a mystery. I find it difficult to understand myself, a married man and a father with a blissful life sends me one SMS after another asking for my forgiveness and to reconcile? But then on the other side, he says something else! Could this be a special edition of Office of Practical Jokes? Fortunately, I didn’t fall for it. I firmly declined to all of it and I’m smart enough to keep all of the messages and the phone number…”

    1. Thanks for the link but is the photo on the bottom old? I don’t recognize the woman.

      Also, sounds like the issue is with Marco only since he is the one who wants to reconcile. Karma is such a b*tch.

      “Happiness is the best revenge.”

      1. 1st picture is Joyce
        2nd is the Shameless Jerk with his beau
        3rd is Joyce with Matthew
        4th is those yeahhhh ancient picture of Joyce with the Shameless Jerk!!

      2. Yaya, the issue is this shameless jerk is totally a two-faced person!!
        During interviews keeps telling others how blissful is his life, his marriage but Hohohohos the truth is he is dying to reconcile with Joyce!
        No wonder he holds such bitterness towards Joyce!!
        I pity that young wife of him too! Having such a unfaithful husband!
        But they really deserve one another!
        Karma hits Marco now that he needs to work like a cow to pay bills since his wife isn’t working!
        Karma hits that lady for being the 3rd party! Best karma is when the man u thought u won him over cheated on you!!
        Can’t wait for Marco’s responses!!

      3. Bottom line, Marco is a serious “player” with little to no respect for woman whatsoever. Any woman (no matter how good) with a “scum” like that will never be happy because he will always humiliate/embarrass her. Players have no “conscience”. Zhang Lihua (張利華), his wife, should divorce that “shameless” jerk Marco.

    1. the new wife is shameless too, being a third party

      1. Young inexperienced ladies are more innocent, naive (they’ll believe anything) and obedient, which is why players like them. Who knows what lies that shameless jerk Marco told her?

  39. eiw this marco is a lowlife douchebag and the worst kind of unfilial man! not ony he cheating on joyce before and now on his wife for wanting to reconcile with joyce but he also don’t respect woman! i believe joyce that marco just using joyce for publicity because joyce career is going ip and his career GONE since the day he left joyce and married that mainland chick! karma for him!

  40. Ewwwww!!!
    This shameless jerk always surprised me!!

    http://tvbnewsworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/joyce-tang-doesnt-feel-disappointed-in.html

    Reporters pursued questions of Marco Ngai SMSing Joyce asking for her forgiveness and wanting to reconcile. Joyce expressed shortly after their break up, he kept sending her messages asking to reconcile. It started three years ago. She said coldly: “2012 was a few years ago? Must be Johnson Lee’s Office of Practical Jokes then. I showed my fiance the message too because he was sitting next to me when I replied to Marco. I asked in the SMS, ‘You drunk?’ I love singing Raymond Lam’s song ‘let go, let go of everything.'”

    Since he loves responding but this time choosed not to respond, Hohohohos he must never thought Joyce will reveal it and he is now surely digging a hole to hide his shameless self!!!

    1. So glad Joyce is exposing Marco. Her fiance looks better than that frog-eyed shameless jerk Marco.

    2. Thanks for the info Yen.

      This Marco’s got wayyyyy more issues than I thought.
