Cheung Lok-sze and Li Zekai break up_Chengdu Hemorrhoid Hospital

Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung has issued a statement announcing her split with Richard Li, chairman of PCCW, following the birth of their three sons. The couple will jointly raise their three children. Hong Kong media today revealed the reasons for the breakdown of their relationship: firstly, it was reported that Maggie Cheung was seen on a date with a man last Christmas; secondly, she was never fully accepted into the Li family home. However, Maggie's spokesperson denied that her date with the man was the trigger for the breakup. Yesterday evening, 22-year-old mother of three, Maggie Cheung, released a statement through her spokesperson Lucy Lu stating: "As we begin a new year, I wish everyone continued success. Entering 2011, I too am stepping into a new phase in my life. Richard Li and I have parted ways." The statement continued: "We shared a wonderful time together. We will jointly raise our children. Their healthy and happy growth is our common goal. With this statement, I hope to put an end to endless speculation about us."

Hong Kong media reports disclosed that the catalyst for Maggie and Richard's split was a January 17th article in Next Magazine showing Maggie on a late-night date with a man in Toronto. After the story broke, Maggie and Richard had a heated argument because Richard had been unaware of his girlfriend's Christmas tryst until the photos were published, which upset him deeply.

Another reason cited was the significant age gap between Richard and Maggie - he being exactly twice her age. They have three sons together, the eldest being Changzhi, and twins. Despite having children together, they never married, leaving Maggie without formal recognition from the Li family. Reports suggest that Maggie resented having to stay abroad alone with the three children, unable to return to Hong Kong to act, leading to a monotonous life. Moreover, despite giving birth to three sons for the Li family, she still did not receive the status she felt entitled to, leaving her disheartened. According to reports, Richard preferred that the mother of his three sons live quietly overseas and not return to the entertainment industry. Their differing perspectives led to frequent minor arguments in recent months. Ultimately, after careful consideration, both parties agreed that an amicable split would be the best way to maintain friendly relations.

Hong Kong media disclosed that last week, after agreeing to part ways, both parties signed a confidentiality agreement at a law office, prohibiting them from disclosing the reasons for their split. As per the agreement, Richard would gift Maggie some of his properties, cash, and vehicles as presents, along with monthly alimony for Maggie and their three children. The children continue to live with their mother for convenience of care.

Maggie's spokesperson Lucy Lu denied that the date with the man was the cause of the breakup, saying: "Their breakup absolutely had nothing to do with the magazine's photos of Maggie with a male friend. The man in the photo is Maggie's elementary school classmate, known to Richard Li."

Regarding Maggie's desire to move back to Hong Kong and resume acting, Lucy Lu said: "This is not the right time to discuss this issue."

There are reports that the gentleman who met secretly with Maggie in Canada was her first love from when she was 9 years old, Simon. Back in August 2006, during the premiere of her musical film "Snow. Goodbye," Maggie brought Simon along, and they were seen holding hands and embracing publicly.
