Casino heiress Laurinda Ho shows affection with actor husband at film premiere amid split rumors

According to Dimsum Daily, the couple, who had been the subject of speculation about a possible split, displayed warmth toward each other at the event on Dec. 6, with Dou affectionately adjusting Laurinda's hair before a photo session. Their affectionate interaction quickly became the center of attention at the premiere.

When asked about the rumors, Laurinda chose to focus on her film, telling reporters: "Today we only talk about the film. Thank you everyone!"

The couple's relationship has been under scrutiny due to their limited public appearances together, which some have attributed to their busy schedules. The rumors escalated after Dou was recently spotted at a ski resort with an unidentified woman, where they were seen laughing and chatting at a café. Neither Laurinda nor Dou has commented on the incident.

He and Laurinda married in a lavish Bali wedding in April 2024, which reportedly cost millions.

Laurinda, 33, thrives as a socialite and businesswoman, with her mother Ina Chan’s fortune estimated by Forbes to be around US$1 billion.

Dou, 36, has made a significant impact in the acting world since his debut in Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s "Under the Hawthorn Tree," and has since appeared in several notable films, including "Dangerous Liaisons," "Time To Love," and "Princess Agents."
