According to Hong Kong media 東網, Hawick Lau has confirmed that he’s dating actress-host Cherry Li Xiaofeng 李晓峰 when he said in a recent interview, “Thank you for everyone’s blessings, we are doing well. We have been together for a while, and we were introduced by a good friend. Our personalities are very compatible, we get along comfortably and happily! Our relationship is very good, thank you for everyone’s concern.”
Last month, Hawick Lau was spotted holding hands with a short-haired woman that some speculated to be Una You Jingru, which was denied by the actress and her manager. On November 12, Hawick was once again spotted visiting a temple with his girlfriend and recently, Netizens have pointed out that she is actress Cherry Li Xiaofeng who plays Yang Mi’s good friend and sister-in-law in She and Her Perfect Husband. Incidentally, Hawick Lau is Yang Mi’s ex-husband as the two divorced in 2018. An alleged Li Xiaofeng staff reportedly denied the rumors but Li Xiaofeng herself seems to be to confirming the rumors when she raised the question “Contacted which staff?”
The cat’s definitely out of the bag now that the 48-year-old Hawick was the one who made their dating status public. In the past, Li Xiaofeng, 40, would repeatedly share cute stories about her neighbor who’s the domineering executive type. From her saying that he drove to pick her up while she was out for a run and it suddenly rained to her trying to figure out if he’s single, many are now guessing if the “neighbor” was Hawick Lau all along.

Yui
sounds like a drama in a drama…
Haha
Unlike some trash, Yang Mi never accuse Hawick all these years or tear down the 3rd party women involved.
Irina
Even though she cheated on him with LYF during the marriage? That is why she never accuse him, because they are unfaithful to each other.
Jubbles
Glad he is moving on well in his life.

YM and Hawick got divorce long time ago, what’s wrong if they moved on and find new love. If they work in same industry, they bound to work together at some point.
Lisa
I obviously don’t know YM personally, but based on what she does show the audience, she appears to be a person with high EQ. I doubt that this caused much awkwardness. They’ve been divorced for half a decade now. I’m glad they’ve moved on. I hope they both find their own individual happiness!
HL- Hoh Liu
Once upon a time, he was quite a popular lead male in a number of Chinese dramas…then he married Yang Mi, but now the media is only interested in who he dates…otherwise he has no reporting value. To be so unpopular to this extend… his comeback is going to be very hard.
Una
It’s sad but kinda true. It’s not that he is now unpopular. It’s just that now he’s only known as YM’s ex-husband. And he didn’t have any big representative work that audiences can remember. I followed a singing show a couple of years ago where he was a contestant. I thought he was such a nice, personable and humble guy. On the introvert side. He is a devoted dad. Glad that he has custody of the kid instead of YM.
HL- Hoh Liu
Yes, I must commend him on being such a good father to his daughter…
wuulong
He and his parents are devoted to his daughter. He must be happy and the relationship is stable if he is openly admitting to it. It’s very cool (and romantic) that they go on dates and hold hands in public.
I got the same impression of him from Call Me By Fire S2. He has a very unique deep and emotive voice. He’s also actually very funny with a sarcastic humour. Unfortunately the show did not include it in the actual episodes, but as extras (unaired highlights) instead.
Xoxo
I think YM is classy for being able to work with her ex’s current flame. Shows that they have each moved on maturely. I don’t want to blame YM for being the more successful actor of the couple, it all boils down to individual choices and the price we choose to pay for the choices we make. Maybe he chose to sacrifice his career for a closer relationship with his child, we don’t know them personally and cannot judge…
XZF
@ Xoxo
Well said! I agree with you. I like his new girlfriend in the drama with YM. Some parts are funny!
Nah
After the child was born, BOTH, (the word BOTH means YM including HIM), BOTH of them did not sacrifice their career. YM is young and popular, of course she will be more successful than him. He only pretended to be a caring father after the divorce and BOTH of them were criticized for being bad parents. Lots of YM haters always pretend not to know this and pretend to like him so they can throw shades at her. At least it was his biological daughter that’s why he’s willing to take care of it. Other actresses are worse, they scam rich men to marry but had children with others, at the end only the hired caretakers are acting like parents.
Anon
He doesn’t have a career
Irina
Congrats. Hopefully this relationship will be better than the previous one. And hopefully she is a better person than YM is.
LMAO
Ur in a deep hate with YM cause you’re that die hard fan of ZLY who had child with Kris Wu, she named her child after their music album that’s why FSF didn’t bother taking care of the child. She doesn’t either, and real father Kris is in jail, that’s why the child ends up with the babysitters.
Irina
@LMAO
I am neutral towards ZLY. She is still better than YM, who never bother to improve on her acting, who had an affair with LYF during her marriage to HL (and aborted her pregnancy). The father of ZLY’s child is her backer, not WYF. And FSF is rumored to be gay. There is absolutely nothing admirable about YM. Even recently people compared her (YM) to Zhang Han due to how greasy they are.
LMAO
The moment Trashta copied everything from the queen and think she better than the queen. LMAO!
Anon
It must be hard for ZLY losing to greasy YM all the time in terms of box office value, tv ratings and business ability. That’s why her fans are always asserting their jealousy on all YM related topics. Yes nothing admirable indeed.
Anon
Hopefully HL and dad can stop leeching off YM now. lol he used the heat of her new drama to “announce” his new relationship
Xoxo
Even if he did, I doubt it would do him any good. Have you heard of any recent work of his? Instead the announcement will drive more people to view the drama since everyone is curious about the onscreen chemistry between both ladies, which isn’t bad by all accounts. I applaud both women for being professional on set.
