According to ZnewsChinese news outlet 163 reported that the photo shows Ming Xi and her husband standing beside Tse backstage. She captioned the post: “Wishing everyone smooth sailing on your journey of following your idols.”
Earlier this month, rumors surfaced on social media alleging that Mario Ho fathered a child with Yumi Bai, a member of the Singaporean pop duo BY2, prompting him to deny the claims.
At 30, Mario Ho holds a master’s degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is also the founder of NIP Group, an esports company that went public on Nasdaq on July 26, 2024, becoming China’s first esports company to be listed. On the same day, Nasdaq Vice Chairman Bob McCooey recognized him as the youngest founder of a Nasdaq-listed company in Asia, per the South China Morning Post.
His mother, Angela Leong, 62, was the fourth wife of Stanley Ho. As of Aug. 12, Forbes estimated her net worth at US$2.4 billion, placing her 37th on Hong Kong’s list of the 50 richest individuals.
Ming Xi, 35, born Xi Mengyao, is renowned for her work as a runway model for brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Givenchy, Michael Kors, Balmain, and Karl Lagerfeld.
