Venus Wong Often Felt Lonely in Her Marriage with Derek Tsang

Marrying Hong Kong filmmaker Derek Tsang (曾國祥) in 2019, Venus Wong (王敏奕) has not slowed down her career. Separated for more than two years due to work obligations, there were rumors of the couple’s fading relationship and imminent divorce. Despite the incessant rumors, their marriage continues to remain stable. Although Venus admitted they had a difficult phase as she often felt lonely, the couple put divorce rumors to rest when they attended Derek’s father Eric Tsang’s (曾志偉) birthday party together.

Accepting an interview recently about her newest drama, Love Virtually (虛擬情人), Venus shared she related to her character, as she had also been in several bad relationships. However, the negative experiences contributed to who she was today and helped shape her view of marriage. “I had negative dating experiences in the past. It’s not uncommon to meet a few scumbags in one’s life. When I was young, I thought it was the other person’s fault and [he] wasn’t good enough. Maybe I was also at fault and not very good either. Perhaps the other person doesn’t want you to lose your temper, but you throw temper tantrums every day and they find you annoying. These are all learning experiences.”

Learning from her mistakes, Venus admitted that while she would classify her past self as an “annoying girlfriend,” she now considered herself a “submissive wife.” The 33-year-old actress expressed, “I used to be really annoying. When I think about it, it’s similar to the age-old question of whether the chicken came first or the egg. Is it because my boyfriend at the time wasn’t treating me well, so that’s why I was annoying or is it the other way around? It’s difficult to say. Relationships are about learning. Your partner is a mirror of yourself.”

Venus and Derek have been in a committed relationship for almost 12 years now. Reflecting on how to make a relationship work, Venus said, “One of the biggest differences [between my previous relationships and my current relationship] is that Derek is a few years older and have more life experiences than me. We’re able to avoid a lot of problems because he understands what I am going through. In a mature relationship, both people can support one another but they can also be themselves individually.”
