According to Swampphotos of Tse holding the guitar during a live show in Guangzhou, China, were widely shared on Weibo by tens of thousands of fans on Tuesday. Observers noted that the design on Tse’s guitar mirrors the butterfly tattoo on Wong’s back. Tse also has a matching tattoo in the same position—a couple tattoo the pair got in Paris in 2000. The butterfly tattoos are considered a symbol of their enduring love, representing a lifelong commitment: “No matter what happens, we will find each other.”

Tse, 45, and 56-year-old Wong publicly acknowledged their relationship in the early 2000s but split in 2002. Wong later married Chinese actor Li Yapeng in 2005, with whom she has a daughter. Tse married actress Cecilia Cheung in 2006, and the couple had two sons before divorcing in 2011. Wong and Li also divorced in 2013.

The couple rekindled their romance in 2014, attracting widespread media attention. Initially, they limited public appearances together, but since last year, they have stopped avoiding paparazzi and occasionally hold hands on the streets. In April, Wong attended Tse’s concert in Hong Kong to support him.

Having been together for 11 years since their reunion, Tse and Wong have chosen not to marry, describing each other as “soulmates.” Wong follows a vegetarian diet, and Tse has learned to cook vegan meals for her. Despite being allergic to cat fur, Tse takes medication and has adapted to living with pets alongside Wong. Wong, known for her disciplined lifestyle, has also accepted Tse’s eating and living habits.

In recent years, Wong has largely stayed away from entertainment events, performing only at major occasions. Her last public appearance was at CCTV’s 2025 New Year Gala. She remains a central figure in contemporary Chinese music, with 1 magazine noting that few have matched her achievements and that her distinctive voice is difficult to imitate.

Tse debuted as a singer in 1996 and began acting two years later, quickly rising as a prominent figure in both music and film.

Wong moved from Beijing to Hong Kong at 18 and rose to fame in the early 1990s with her Cantonese music career. She gained international acclaim through roles in Wong Kar Wai’s films, including “Chungking Express” and “2046.”
