The brotherhood of the original and best drama adaptation of Bu Bu Jing Xin (also known as Startling With Each Step or Scarlet Heart) adds another to the married brethren, much to my pleasure as I just want each and everyone to find lasting happiness unlike their characters in the drama. This time it’s 8th Prince played by Kevin Cheng, who married even later in life at 49 years old to tie the knot with 27 year old HK-actress Grace Chan. The 22-year age gap is fodder for HK tabloids but I always thought Kevin wouldn’t marry until he found the right girl whatever her age so I figure his three-year long relationship with Grace was the right amount of time for the couple to make it forever. The couple held their wedding in Bali with plenty of stars in attendance and lots of giant smiles all around. Congrats and wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness. Continue reading →
