Stanley Ho’s youngest son marries model Ming Xi, who famously fell on Victoria’s Secret catwalk
- Mario Ho, the youngest son of the casino tycoon, has married the famed Victoria’s Secret model, after a two-month engagement
- The pair have signed a wedding certificate, and will host a wedding ceremony next year
Ho and his mother, Angela Leong On-kei, confirmed to Apple Daily that the marriage certificate had been signed and that a formal wedding ceremony will be held next year. The pair reportedly were first introduced by Ho’s elder sister Sabrina and began dating in 2017 after taking part in Mr Left Mr Right, a Chinese television dating show.
The couple’s proposal on May 13 took the internet by storm after Ho, 24, decided to ask for Xi’s hand in grandiose fashion.
After cordoning off three floors of Shanghai’s L’Avenue Mall and decking it out with 99,999 roses, a pink castle backdrop and heart-shaped flower arches, giving his wife-to-be a crown to wear and inviting 1,000 of their friends and family members to watch, Ho – microphone in hand – got down on one knee and presented his love with a Louis Vuitton box inscribed with a handwritten proposal message.
Posting a photograph of the proposal on Instagram to his 195,000 followers, Ho described his life as a “fairy tale”, adding, “I can’t believe I actually married the girl I said I was going to marry when I was younger … I’m still in disbelief!!!” Meanwhile, Xi, 30, captioned the same image on her own Instagram account: “I said YES!!!!!! Of course I did!!!!!!!!!!”
