Real estate tycoon Joseph Lau and his girlfriend, former entertainment reporter Kimbie Chan, have filed a notice of intended marriage, the latest twist in the tabloid saga of their love triangle.
Mr Lau, 65, and Ms Chan, 37, submitted the notice on Nov 18, days after he placed front-page advertisements to announce his 2014 breakup with former beauty contestant Yvonne Lui, 37, said Apple Daily.
Mr Lau is Hong Kong’s fifth richest man, with a net worth of US$12.6 billion (S$18 billion), according to Forbes magazine.
He made headline news last year when he paid a record US$49 million at auction for a blue diamond for Josephine, his daughter with Ms Chan who is now eight.
