Why did Nicholas Tse’s photos go viral amid Super Typhoon Ragasa? All you need to know about his love life and ex-wife

Popular Hong Kong actor and singer Nicholas Tse made headlines after his photos went viral amid Super Typhoon Ragasa, with fans pasting his images on windows as a kind of 'protective charm' to ward off Ragasa. The images quickly circulated on Chinese social media platform Weibo, drawing everyone's attention.

According to kbizoom.com, the real reason behind it, which seemed funny at the beginning, is quite a coincidence as Nicholas' Chinese name, 'Xie Ting Feng', is similar to the phrase 'Please stop the wind' in Mandarin. And that is why people are doing it as it was somehow giving them peace of mind in the midst of distress caused by Ragasa.

It might surely come out as a surprise for 45-year-old Nicholas too as he probably never expected his image to be shared in such a humorous context. Born in 1980, Nicholas entered the entertainment industry at the tender age of 16 and has become one of the few stars to achieve success in music, film, and business. Recognised as one of Hong Kong’s iconic heartthrobs, he is celebrated for his sharp features and effortless charm.

CECILIA CHEUNG - NICHOLAS TSE'S EX-WIFE

Nicholas and actress-singer Cecilia Cheung reportedly fell in love while filming The Promise, according to kbizoom.com. The couple married in 2006 after Nicholas proposed on a beach, keeping the ceremony private. They had two sons, Lucas and Quintus, before divorcing in 2011, with Cecilia granted custody.

In 2018, she surprised the public by giving birth to a third son, whose father has not been publicly disclosed. While Nicholas soon entered a new relationship after the divorce, Cecilia has quietly focused on raising her three children, never publicly announcing a new romantic relationship.

WHO IS FAYE WONG

Born in Beijing in 1969, Faye Wong is a celebrated Chinese singer-songwriter and actress who moved to British Hong Kong at 18. One of the most influential pop stars in the Chinese-speaking world, she has also built a following in Japan and Southeast Asia.

Wong debuted with the Cantonese album Shirley Wong in 1989. In 2000, she was recognised by Guinness World Records as the best-selling Cantopop female artist, with an estimated 9.7 million albums sold by March of that year.

According to kbizoom.com, Nicholas rekindled his romance with Faye shortly after separating from Cecilia, and the couple has remained together since. Neither has shown interest in marriage, openly stating they prefer to avoid legal ties and traditional family responsibilities.
