Hong Kong actress Elaine Yiu turned heads in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday (Oct 21) when she attended the signing ceremony between property developer Armani Group and TVBI – the international distribution arm of broadcast giant TVB.

The event was also joined by TVB stars Hugo Wong and Hera Chan.

During a group interview joined by StarLifestyle after the event, Yiu spoke candidly about her love life, revealing that someone is currently pursuing her.

“However, I’ll only go public once I’m married,” said the 44-year-old.

Yiu went on to share her thoughts on marriage, describing it as a complex journey that requires mutual respect, tolerance, deep affection and a willingness to make sacrifices.

The TVB star, known for her award-winning performance in the 2015 drama Captain Of Destiny, also responded gracefully to critics who claimed she’s way past the ideal age for marriage.

“I feel very deeply about marriage because it's a lifelong commitment. You can’t marry someone just for the sake of wanting to get married. I can still get married at 50 or even 60!” she said with a smile.

Yiu added that when her big day comes, she plans to keep it simple and low-key.

When asked by reporters if she would be fine with dating a younger man, the actress simply replied: "The maximum age gap is five years!"
