Thirty-two-year-old Lai Lok Yi’s (黎諾懿) romance with heiress, Nicole Li (李潔瑩) has raised a few eyebrows! Unfazed by their disparity in wealth, Lok Yi openly admitted to dating the 2007 Miss Hong Kong participant. Disclosing that they have gained their parents’ approval, Lok Yi is actively working hard to save up for his marriage in four years’ time. Lok Yi Not Bothered By Girlfriend’s Wealth Lok Yi’s girlfriend is extremely wealthy, whose family assets are estimated to be worth approximately $500 million HKD. Nicole currently works as a General Manager in her family’s beauty company, which has ten beauty salons in Hong Kong. In regards to his girlfriend’s prosperous family, Lok Yi said, “It’s her own business that her family is rich. I do not need to spend her money. It’s important that we are happy when we are together. With my financial ability, I can still manage to take care of her.” Since dating Nicole, Lok Yi has been criticized harshly for depending on his rich girlfriend. Lok Yi expressed that he could not control the media reports, and he sees no need to account to anyone. He is also not worried that the public make financial comparisons between his family and Nicole’s family. “There is nothing to compare. Nicole’s family uses their entire life to create their kingdom. I am only a 30-something young chap,” said Lok Yi. Lok Yi Is Happy With Nicole Lok Yi has praises for his girlfriend, “I am so happy that I met Ms. Nicole Li. She is a very gentle girl. When I am busy filming for Come Home Love <愛 · 回家>, she helps me to reduce my burdens, and takes care of my household matters such as looking after my pet. She will also give me space to focus on my work. Whenever I am filming, I do not need to carry my phone around. When she knows that I am working, she will not call me. Whenever I am not working, I will spend most of my time with her. We will go hiking together, playing badminton, walk our dog and watch movies. The feeling is great!” Lok Yi Promises to Give Nicole a Comfortable Life Lok Yi views Nicole as his significant half and promises to marry her in four years’ time. Working hard for their future, Lok Yi plans to accumulate his savings to purchase an apartment. Due to his poverty when he was young, Lok Yi is even more determined to carve out his career first. “It’s important for a man to have an accomplished career first, and then proceed to form a family. Maybe I was poor when I was young. My dad passed away and my mom single-handedly raised my brothers and I. Those days were tough. We needed to calculate our family budget every day, from buying shoes to buying books. I do not wish that my future family struggles because of money. That’s why I will give myself four years to save up.” Creds: Ming Pao
Chris's career has sorta gone backwards a bit.. he's pretty lucky TVB does not have too much competition these days or else he might not even get the minor support roles. hope he gets his opportunity.. if not i guess hes got Nicole lol
He's an okay actor. Didn't know he's dating a millionaire girlfriend. Anyway, love has no boundary. As long as they're cool with everything, it's all that matters most.
media has always been lame... relying on cheap reports to get more buyers/viewers. lok yi is doing pretty good lately, he finally has a chance to show himself more and he's not disappointing us so far. the girl looks great indeed and the added wealth surely can't be complained about
