SUPERMODEL Bella Su finally got married, six years after the death of her boyfriend and actor Godfrey Gao, China Press reported.
The 29-year-old held a low-key wedding in China’s Yunnan province on June 17 and was photographed wearing a low-cut wedding gown.
Her husband’s identity, however, remained a mystery as his face was always hidden behind an emoji on photographs posted online.
Although Su is in a new relationship, she kept Gao’s memory alive at her wedding by featuring the sunflower, which was the late actor’s favourite flower, as part of the reception’s decoration.
“Love never disappears, but continues to thrive in a different form!” she said in her wedding speech in reference to Gao.
According to those who attended the wedding, it was the groom who decided on having a segment honouring Gao’s memory during the reception.
It was reported that Gao, 35, who was a Taiwan-born Canadian model and actor, collapsed while filming a Chinese variety series in 2019.
He collapsed at around 2am on Nov 27, 2019, after filming for 17 hours that day and later failed to be resuscitated at a hospital.
After his death, Su revealed that she and Gao had been dating in secret.
She was seen attending his wake and funeral together with Gao’s family.
Su met her husband two years ago while on a trip to Shanghai to visit her maternal grandmother.
They decided to get married this year.
