I’m sorry to say – this is one reunion that I wish wasn’t documented with selfies and then shared with the world.

This juicy dating rumor feels like a stretch, not to mention a good year too late to be worth its sizzle. Taiwan netizens are speculating that all the recent dating rumors between idol-actress Tia Li and fallen TW-actor Kai Ko is actually a front for Tia’s real romance with her former costar Aaron Yan.
