March 3, 2005 Li Nanxing denies break-up Actor calls rumours of separation with his wife of 10 years 'rubbish' VETERAN actor Li Nanxing has denied that he is calling it quits with his wife of 10 years, actress Yang Libing.
A Lianhe Zaobao report said Li, 40, and Yang, 39, have been separated since November last year and have filed for divorce.
It quoted unnamed sources as saying a businesswoman came between the couple. Lianhe Wanbao said Yang asked Li for a divorce.
Shin Min Daily News said the couple, who have no children, have moved out of their marital home in Sin Ming Road. It quoted their neighbour as saying they sold their terrace house before the Chinese New Year.
Another neighbour told Shin Min that the couple's maid told her maid more than a month ago: 'My employers are breaking up.'
But the actor has dismissed the rumours as 'rubbish'.
Ms Teri Tan, his manager, told Zaobao that all the actor had to say to speculation surrounding his marriage was: 'Rubbish, it's a waste of time to talk about it.'
Yang's elder sister, actress Lina, said she had not heard of a split. She told Zaobao that she sees her sister every day and the latter looks happy.
Li married Yang in November 1994, and they bought their home for $1.4 million then.
In 2002, he told Life! in an interview that he and his wife were so busy, they hardly had time to meet - much less make babies.
He said then: 'It's become like a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship again. So in a way it's good.'
