Annie Yi announces end of nine-year marriage Mr. and Mrs. Yu is now history. Annie Yi announced her divorce with Harlem Yu last Friday through her management company in China, HB Stars. The release in Chinese stated: I, Annie Yi, has signed a divorce agreement with Harlem Yu, and ended our marriage relationship. I hope our families can enjoy peace again. The release did not mention about their only son's custodian rights. However, Yi's godfather Xia Yushun revealed recently that the seven-year-old boy would remain in the custody of the Yu family while Yi enjoyed access rights. Yu denied this and said that they have not received official notice on their son's custody. When reporters called up Yi's Taiwan manager Ren Yueqin, she said she did not receive notification on the release. Yi and Yu were married in Los Angeles, United States, on Feb 14, 2000, and gave birth to their son two years later on Mar 16 also in the States. From almost a decade of courtship to their nine years of marriage, Yi has reportedly been in several other affairs though Yu had always trusted her. On Nov 12 last year, the photo that showed Yi holding hands with male artiste Victor Huang in China was exposed on the Internet. Though Yi and Huang did not admit to the scandal, with photos as evidence, Yi and Yu's marriage still broke up. During Chinese New Year this year, news of their divorce agreement broke out after the family of three went for a holiday at Hokkaido where the two adults took the chance to work out the marriage. According to sources, Yu still has feelings for Yi and was in an emotional struggle when he decides on a divorce. Mid November last year, Yi once expressed that she will respect Yu's decision and status on their marriage will be based the latter's official statement. However, on Mar 6 this year, Yi had already hinted their break up on her blog in a post titled "One Man's Journey": Without relying on anyone, [I will] live life to its fullest, face the future by myself with courage and no fear. And now that she sends out a release on Mar 20 to announce their divorce before Yu does, the Taiwan media found Yi going against her earlier promise.
