But no matter how smooth things seem to be going, sometimes there comes a point when the rose-coloured glasses come off. The sparks just aren’t there any more, things get awkward and eventually the relationship comes to an end.

Here’s a look at the beloved Hong Kong celebrity couples who called it quits and left their fans devastated in the wake of their separations.

Hong Kong stars Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung started publicly dating in 2002, getting married after four years. Tse announced that the couple eloped in the Philippines on a private island and only “had time to invite about 10 friends”, reports Today Online.

In 2008, Cheung was one of the celebrities who got caught up in the infamous Edison Chen photo scandal. (For those not in the know, Chen’s private photos of himself with various women – including famous local actresses – were stolen and posted online, causing a furore.) Despite the media frenzy, Tse stood by Cheung and supported her.

During their five year marriage, Cheung criticised Tse for being an “irresponsible and absent father” for their two sons, Lucas and Quintus, reports Jayne Stars. After their split in 2011, Tse has been spotted with former flame Faye Wong – who he dated throughout the late 90s and early 2000s – on several occasions. Meanwhile, Cheung had a third baby boy, but the father remains unknown to the public.
