Hong Kong star Xie Xian, who once drew media attention for his 'grandfather-granddaughter romance,' remains a hot topic even in his eighties. Now 89 years old, he began dating mainland model CoCo in 2005 when she was 20, with a 49-year age difference. Their relationship lasted for 12 years until they broke up in 2018. After the breakup, CoCo rarely made public appearances, but recently she made a rare appearance on livestreams and self-media programs, talking about her past with Xie Xian and also responding to rumors regarding a 20 million HKD (about 10 million MYR) breakup fee. The topic has again drawn netizen attention.
During the livestream, CoCo addressed doubts about her comeback: 'You see a lot of people smearing me on Douyin accounts, and I want to make a statement to you all: I, CoCo, am not that kind of person.' She emphasized, 'First, I never talk about others’ privacy or gossip. Second, I want to clarify that I would never slander anyone, especially someone who once treated me so well, cherished me like a treasure, loved me like a child, and educated me.'
CoCo added that there’s no way she would badmouth Xie Xian or speak ill of him—'We are all people with a conscience.' She called on netizens to stop spreading rumors and also revealed that the two of them have stayed in contact and interact like family.
As for the rumor that she received a 'breakup fee' of 20 million HKD from Xie Xian after the split, CoCo responded directly: 'And about the 20 million thing, I just want to say: stop asking this question.' She stressed, 'A family living together for more than 10 years, we were just like ordinary people. Our household expenses and bank accounts were transparent. There was no such thing as one giving to the other—whatever was in the home was for everyone to use together.' She cleverly defused the sensitive topic, neither explicitly confirming nor denying the figure, merely hoping the public would respect their past relationship.
