HONG KONG: Back in 2018, Hong Kong actress Nancy Sit caused a buzz. She told everyone that she had been in a relationship for twelve years with someone 17 years younger than she was, as reported by The Star.
The 75-year-old actress once had doubts about their age gap, which eventually led them to split, according to Lianhe Zaobao.
Reignited their romance
The TVB actress and her partner, Andy, have reignited their May-December romance, suggesting their romance isn’t over yet. Just recently, Sit had a chat with Hong Kong media figure Stephen Chan, and during their conversation, she sent a sweet message to Andy, saying something like, “I really hope our love lasts forever.”
Sit also mentioned that she was hesitant when Andy first showed his feelings for her. She was worried that maybe his feelings wouldn’t last.
She went on to say how she feels cherished by Andy. She pointed out that he could probably be with many other people, but he’s chosen to treat her incredibly well for all this time they’ve been together.
She also got a bit more serious, admitting that the age difference weighs on her mind. She said it makes her think about the fact that she might pass away before him. She even talked to her oldest daughter about it, who gave her some comforting advice, basically telling her not to worry so much and to just enjoy the happiness they have right now.
No intention of marriage
Sit, who is well-known for her parts in dramas like A Kindred Spirit (1999), Return of the Cuckoo (2000), and Virtues of Harmony (2001), has no intention of getting married again despite her affections for Andy since she does not want to deal with the hassles of another divorce.
She also shared a bit about her history, explaining that her marriage to the rich businessman Shek Bo Hing ended quite a while ago, back in 1995, and that she has two daughters and a son from that time. She happily shared that her kids have already welcomed Andy into the family, and he even joins them when they go on trips together.
Expressing her deep appreciation for Andy’s devotion, Sit remarked that finding such a sweet and loving connection at this stage of her life felt like a truly rare and special gift.
Wonderful gift
She also said to Andy, “Whenever things get tough for me, you’re always right there by my side, sharing the load. Meeting you has been such a wonderful gift in my life. I really hope we can keep our love as strong and happy as it is now.”
