Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung makes public come back after year-long hiatus

According to The Straits Times, Cheung, 44, also marked her return to social media with a post on Weibo on December 9, her first since January, where she shared images from the event captioned "Winter party."

Later, she added more photos attending the event for the Italian luxury brand Valentino's 2025 Spring collection, Avant Les Debuts, with the caption: "Documenting a gorgeous party."

At the event, Cheung was seen in a shimmering blush-and-grey embroidered gown complemented by a sparkling green and gold shawl and a green headscarf, a look that reminded fans of the iconic Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung.

The event was also attended by notable celebrities like Chinese actress Yang Zi, singer Xu Yiyang, and actor Hu Xianxu.

Cheung first rose to fame with her role in Stephen Chow's 1999 film "King of Comedy" and is known for her roles in "The Lion Roars" and "The Promise."

In August 2023, she had paused all professional activities due to health concerns. Her absence became particularly noticeable following her popularity surge in mainland China from her participation in the reality TV show "Sisters Who Make Waves," leading to widespread speculation, including rumors of a possible fourth pregnancy.

Cheung was previously married to Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse, with whom she has two sons, Lucas, 17, and Quintus, 14. The couple divorced in 2011. She also has a six-year-old son, whose father remains undisclosed to the public.
