Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) is prepared for marriage, according to recent gossip reports. It has been said that the 29-year-old TVB actress, who will be celebrating her tenth anniversary in the entertainment industry soon, felt a little disheartened for losing the TV Queen crown in December 2013 and now wishes to focus on starting a family. A source close to Linda said, “She was obviously disappointed because she had high hopes to win! But the loss did enlighten her. What was more important – career or family? That’s why she’s been thinking about getting married. Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) got married, had a baby, and that didn’t affect her career at all. The fans today are more understanding towards their idols now.” Linda Admits Wanting to get Married Linda and action star Philip Ng (伍允龍) have been rumored for over seven years. Throughout her career, Linda had been romantically linked with Raymond Lam (林峯), who admitted that he had feelings for Linda when they filmed Heart of Greed <溏心風暴>; and Ruco Chan (陳展鵬), who shared extremely convincing chemistry with Linda in their 2013 drama Brother’s Keeper <巨輪>. Linda’s rumors with Ruco elevated when Linda was caught riding Ruco’s car to work last year, but Linda clarified that they were only good colleagues. Despite going through one love rumor after another, Linda’s relationship with Philip remained stronger than before. As their relationship became increasingly public, the couple is rumored to be at marriage-planning stages. A source close to the pair said, “If nothing goes wrong, they will eventually marry. Philip has been saving money anyway. He is someone with responsibility and wanted to do well in his career before taking the next step.” “I do hope to have kids before I turn 35,” Linda admitted in a recent interview. “I’m not worried about losing my figure, but I must marry first. It’s just that I don’t have any plans to marry now. No matter; as long as both parties have reached a consensus, marriage will happen.” Philip Ng Responds Admitting that he is a man of responsibility who eventually plans to get married, Philip was asked if he planned on getting married with Linda this year. Philip shook his head, “I would never talk about whom I’m going to marry because I do want to maintain my privacy to a certain extent.” So does he consider Linda as his life-long partner? Philip responded, “I will not reveal anything. Thank you for your concern.” Creds: 3 Weekly
