Actor Nicholas Tse has drawn major attention after wearing a bracelet that his girlfriend, diva Faye Wong, also owns, during an event on April 4.
On that day, Nicholas Tse attended a talk at the University of Hong Kong. Fans noticed that he was wearing a Cartier Love bracelet the same couple item he and Faye Wong wore 26 years ago. The reappearance of this meaningful accessory quickly sparked lively discussions across social media about the couple’s long-standing relationship.
One attendee commented that although the bracelet showed signs of wear, it was still well-preserved and retained its shine. According to HK01, during the years when Tse broke up with Faye Wong and married Cecilia Cheung, he kept the bracelet stored in a safe for over a decade. After rekindling his romance with the diva in 2014, he began wearing it again.
Back in 2000, when Nicholas Tse was 20 and Faye Wong was 31, the two were in a passionate relationship. The Cartier Love bracelets became a symbol of their youthful, intense, and pure love.
The topic “Nicholas Tse wearing the love bracelet from 26 years ago” has attracted over 36 million views online, with thousands of discussions. In one social media poll related to the bracelet, 62% of participants believed it represented “*a timeless symbol of enduring love.*” Many fans described it not just as jewelry, but as a meaningful bond etched through time.
Meanwhile, 31% of discussions focused on the couple’s unconventional relationship, as they reportedly live in the same building but maintain separate apartments—preserving independence while staying emotionally connected. A smaller number of comments mentioned Cecilia Cheung, Tse’s ex-wife, noting that although they married and had children together, their relationship ultimately ended in separation, which many found regrettable.
Nicholas Tse was also spotted wearing the bracelet during a shopping outing.
Born in 1980, Nicholas Tse is the son of famous actors Patrick Tse and Deborah Lee. He entered the entertainment industry at just 16 and became a successful star in both music and acting. Known for his rock-inspired image and electric guitar performances, he has, in recent years, built a strong reputation as a chef, appearing in numerous culinary reality shows.
In 2000, Tse publicly dated Faye Wong, and their high-profile “noona romance” became one of the most talked-about relationships in Chinese entertainment. They broke up two years later, after which Tse began a relationship with Cecilia Cheung. The two married in 2006 but eventually divorced after five years following a major scandal involving leaked photos of Cheung and her former partner Edison Chen.
In 2014, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong were reported to have rekindled their romance. Since then, their relationship has remained stable, while Tse also maintains a cordial relationship with his ex-wife.
