Ken Zhu hooked up again with Kelly Lin this year

Looks like Taiwanese singer-actor Ken Zhu and actress Kelly Lin have hooked up again.

Ken and Kelly ended their five-year relationship in August last year. As the year began, the couple were rumoured to have kissed and made up.

Last month, the couple reportedly showed their love for each other on microblogging site Weibo by posting photos of their own dogs. Kelly also uploaded a photo of her looking at the sea on Dec 19, while Ken updated his Weibo with a seascape photo on the 24th.

Kelly also added an entry on her blog, titled "I want to have a relationship that would last forever".

Coincidentally, Ken and Kelly both spent their Christmas in California, causing media to speculate that the couple had gotten back together. Kelly reportedly went to the States last month and had recently returned to Taiwan. At the same time, Ken returned to China from California for filming.

However, Ken's manager said that Ken "was in America to see a doctor for his spinal injuries".

Ken and Kelly met on the set of The Tokyo Trial in 2006. No one was optimistic about the couple's relationship as Ken is five years younger than Kelly.

There were frequent rumours of the pair breaking up during the five years they dated; but it was not until August last year when Kelly moved out of the apartment they shared, did their relationship end.

However, according to a close friend of Kelly's, the actress is more soft-hearted than she seemed to be. There was a high chance the two would get back together, although some friends thought that it was impossible.

Judging from the chemistry the couple had on Weibo, the couple had probably patched things up.

Ken Zhu and Kelly Lin has broken up relationship

They say love can conquer all.

But in Ken Zhu and Kelly Lin's case, their love was not enough to overcome their differences.

According to reports, the pair has split up and Kelly has moved out from their home. Close associates of the couple revealed that their differences in personality were the cause of the break-up.

While Kelly is cool-headed and reserved, Ken is panicky and easily irritated. This difference in attitude led to many quarrels - even over trivial matters such as watching television.

Even though Kelly was said to be hopeful that their love can overcome all at the beginning, the pair eventually gave up after a five-year run, deciding on an amicable split.

The couple met in 2005 when working on a movie and their relationship was kept under wraps until the two were caught wearing couple outfits at their home in 2007. The lovebirds were even reported to have registered their marriage in Taiwan last year.

When both were quizzed about the split, neither one confirmed the news.

Kelly, who is currently busy with filming in Xi An, China, only replied that Ken and her were "only friends" before hanging up on the phone.

Ken was in Hangzhou, China when reporters asked him if he has broken up with Kelly.

Ken first asked if they had asked Kelly, and the reporters replied in the positive, Ken said, "Then it's whatever she told you."

Even as reporters probe, Ken repeated the same line, saying that it is "whatever she said".

Ken Chu dating girlfriend is Kelly Lin

Ken Chu has finally come clean on his relationship with Kelly Lin after long refuting speculations that they were seeing each other. The Taiwanese singer-actor said that his previous actions were an attempt to protect her from the media.

“Put it in this way. Regardless of whether the fact is established or not, as a man, I have the responsibility of protecting the woman. My stand is to prevent the girl from getting hurt, this is my responsibility as a man.”

He described his girlfriend to be “really good, very nice and very pretty.”

The pair was previously spotted donning matching couple pajamas when they were looking out from a window for the presence of paparazzi. Both parties later took turns giving off vague statements to dodge the press’s incessant questions on their rumoured relationship.

Asked if he had any plans to get hitched, Ken said, “I have [marriage plans] every year.”

When reporters cited Kelly’s past interview where she shared her hopes of having two children, Ken noncommittally replied, “She said that she wanted to have two children, but she did not say that she wanted to have the children with me.

“I did mention that I wanted to get married, but I did not say that I wanted to marry her. [If we say that] we are not together, it just means that we are not together!”

The microphone he held looked as cute as an ice-cream cone so it didn't look like he was a reporter but rather, as if he was selling ice-cream.

After jogging a few rounds, Ken felt tired due to the blazing sun. He stopped to rest while his assistant kindly passed him a drink. He became hungry and thirsty, talked with some of the employees for a while before hurrying off into the studio where there was air-conditioning.

Ken Chu started out in and was shaped into an idol from F4, yet in he acts as a clown. Previously, he also chose to dress in a suit with shorts while acting as a weather reporter, working hard to free himself from the burden of being an idol. An employee from his agency, Huang Xiao Ling said, "He feel that this is acting and an actor should match their required role, there's nothing to care about."

“Momo Love” or “Tao Hua Ai Wu Di” which was previously a joint-collaboration by GTV and Comic Ritz has stopped its filming since last June. Rumour has it that because of the main casts – Gui Gui and Aaron Yan – were unable to work well together, the drama ended its filming which led to a lost of $200 0000. Comic Ritz has thus decided to film another new drama after one year whereby the drama will be a rendition of a Japanese famous manga, Tao Hua Girl. Jiro and Cyndi are casted to be the main protagonist with F2 being the supporting actors.

Been venturing into the China’s entertainment market lately, Ken will act as Cyndi’s older brother in this idol drama whereby it is a challenging role because he doesn’t allow his sister from falling in love with Jiro. Ken was also surprised that his debut drama “Meteor Garden” received much love from the audience till today, “All I could say that it was a miracle for the drama to become a big hit because the production fees was minimal compared to the current Korea’s dramas”.

Chu also expressed that his self – directing documentary which features the scenery of Taiwan would be released in July. Rumours has it that he has married Kelly Lin but Chu denied the claim by saying that he is currently single with no plans of having a shotgun marriage in the future. Jiro on the other hand has had a cameo appearance in “K.O. 3an Guo” to get himself better ready for his role in Tao Hua Girl.
