Vicki Zhao deletes photos of husband from social media, faces rumours of marital problems

Vicki Zhao is facing rumours that she and her businessman husband, Huang Youlong, are having marital problems.

This comes after the 44-year-old actress was recently found to have deleted Huang’s photos from her Instagram account, including one that showed a big bouquet of roses – his Valentine’s gift to her.

However, her management company alluded that the rumours are baseless, in a message posted on Chinese microblogging site Weibo on Saturday (Jul 4). 

The message read: "Chasing the wind and clutching at shadows is so tiring. Gossip cautiously. Work hard."

Zhao and Huang, who is a Singapore citizen, have been married since 2008 and they have a 10-year-old daughter. Huang recently bought an almost S$28 million penthouse unit at Ardmore Park condominium. 

Rumours of a troubled marriage isn’t the only negative press they’ve had to deal with. According to Taiwanese media, Huang was involved in a financial dispute in May with Hong Kong socialite Michelle Chia who sued him for HK$200 million (S$36 million). Huang counter-sued and demanded a formal apology.

And back in 2016, Zhao and Huang were barred from trading in China’s stock market for five years after irregularities were found in a business deal involving a company they reportedly controlled.
