Chanteuse Sandy Lam Yik-lin (pictured below), 38, and songwriter Jonathan Lee Zhongchen, 45, have publicly admitted there is a problem with their marriage.

Rumours of a divorce began to spread in April but it wasn't until yesterday that both parties issued separate statements that their six-year marriage was now over.

In Lee's statement, he said that Lam was not a bad friend of his and quoted lines from the songs he wrote for his previous wife, Sun Hui Kay. 'Our love is a mistake, I wish, I had not made you suffer.'

Lam also quoted the lines of a song, by Roberta Flack:

'Love is a rush of wild wind, a scent of a summer rose, a whistle blowing down a distant track, and when it goes, it goes.'

In order not to hurt their five-year-old daughter, they agreed not to publicly disclose the reason for the divorce.
