QQ reported that paparazzi captured Wong as she made her way through the airport on Monday, returning to China from Japan. The singer, sporting a short haircut and simple attire, was seen without a mask.

Tse, however, was not walking alongside his girlfriend. Instead, he was seen alone in another corner, dressed in denim and a white baseball cap, carrying a large bag.

Japan has long been a favored romantic destination for Wong and Tse. The couple often spends time there during the New Year holiday, away from the prying eyes of paparazzi. They have always been discreet about their trips and relationship details.

Wong, 55, and Tse, 44, first acknowledged their relationship in the early 2000s, going public with their separation in 2002.

Wong later married Chinese actor Li Yapeng in 2005, with whom she shares a daughter, while Tse married Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung in 2006, fathering two sons. Both marriages ended in divorce, with Tse and Cheung parting ways in 2011, and Wong and Li in 2013.

In 2014, Tse and Wong made headlines when they rekindled their relationship.

Despite facing numerous rumors, Tse and Wong have maintained a solid partnership since. Hong Kong actress Carina Lau, a close confidante of Wong, has spoken out about the strength of their bond.

Wong moved from Beijing to Hong Kong at 18 and gained fame in the early 1990s with her Cantonese music. Her international recognition was further bolstered by her roles in films by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai, notably "Chungking Express" and "2046."

Tse entered the spotlight in 1996 as a singer and made his acting debut two years later.
