Since his very public, very ugly divorce with Lee Jinglei, Mandopop star Wang Leehom has been on an indefinite break from showbiz.

He has also been laying low until recently when he was spotted at a gathering with celeb pals Taiwanese model Lin Chiling and husband, Japanese pop star Akira, as well as singer Christine Fan and her husband Blackie Chen.

Also at the star-studded party at a private kitchen in Taipei’s Songshan District were Taiwanese billionaire businessman Richard Tsai and his wife Maggie Weng.

According to Taiwanese media, Leehom, who was casually dressed in a dark green pullover, pants and baseball cap, Leehom looked to be in good spirits, chatting and laughing all night.

He appeared to have lost a bit of weight and now sports shoulder-length hair and a clean-shaven look.

When the party ended around 10pm, Blackie and Christine were first to leave while Leehom hung around to chat with Richard and Maggie at the entrance of the restaurant.

After a few laughs, Leehom and Richard hugged and said their goodbyes and Leehom ran off into the night.

Shortly after, Chiling and Akira also took their leave and drove off.
