Fans of Kenneth Ma who have been concerned about his love life ever since he broke up with Jacqueline Wong can now rest easy. The 46-year-old has revealed that he's now dating fellow TVB star Roxanne Tong, 33.

It seems the paparazzi has a lot to do with the actor coming clean about the relationship. On June 12, Kenneth was photographed driving into Roxanne’s apartment building five minutes after she returned home. He then parked in the visitor’s area before entering her apartment, where he reportedly stayed for over four hours.

Kenneth and Roxanne were later seen heading to a nearby store together, which was when they were ambushed by the paparazzi. When asked if they were dating, Kenneth would only say, “We have no comment. We will clarify [everything] when the time is right.” After they completed their errands, they returned back to her home.

Maybe it was because they knew that they could no longer keep their relationship a secret, so at the stroke of midnight on June 13, Roxanne and Kenneth decided to go public when they both uploaded a picture of a pair of stuffed toys on their respective Instagrams. They also wrote the same caption — “Thank you for your concern” — and tagged each other account in their respective posts.

Reports now say that Kenneth and Roxanne have been dating for about two months. They first worked together in the 2016 drama Mind Hunter, where they shared a number of intimate scenes. At the time, Roxanne was dating actor Joey Law, whom she broke up with in March 2018. They had been together for four years.

Interestingly, Roxanne is good friends with Kenneth’s infamous ex Jacqueline Wong. It's said that she and the actor stayed in contact after his relationship with Jacqueline ended. In a strange twist of fate, Roxanne was also the actress who replaced Jacqueline in Forensic Heroes IV. In case you forgot, TVB had to reshoot all of the disgraced actress' scenes because her scandal would have made the drama unairable in China.

According to reports, Kenneth does not find dating his ex-girlfriend's good friend awkward as he believes that his relationship with Jacqueline is all in the past.

In an interview after going IG-official, Kenneth shared with reporters that he and Roxanne have not been hiding their relationship, and would often meet up for meals at work. We're working on different projects now, so there were people who found it strange that we weren't eating with our cast mates (...) We weren't hiding our relationship, so we don't find it an issue to go public after getting our pictures taken, he shared.

They've also met each others' parents, and Kenneth admitted that his mum likes [Roxanne] a lot.

When contacted by Oriental Daily News for comment, Jacqueline said, “I hope that he’s healthy and safe. I’ll let him respond to his own personal matters.”

Kenneth and Jacqueline broke up last July after footage of her making out with Sammi Cheng’s husband Andy Hui in the back of a car went viral.
