Ex-lovers can be friends, says Jessica Hsuan
by Jocelyn Lee

NEWLY-SINGLE Hong Kong actress Jessica Hsuan is the type of woman who believes in remaining friends with her ex-lovers.

Three weeks ago, the 41-year-old split up with Ruan Bester, her South African boyfriend of more than two years.

Hsuan, who was in town to promote her upcoming Channel 8 drama Bountiful Blessings, told The New Paper in a mix of Mandarin and English: "I am still good friends with my ex now and if he needs my help, I will definitely lend a helping hand. There is no problem atall."

The candid star added: "I have always felt that it's fine to be friends with my ex-boyfriends. A friendship doesn't have to end just because a relationship ended."

The announcement of Hsuan's break-up with her beau on July 30 had shocked both media and fans as the veteran fixture on Hong Kong television had previously hinted that the veterinarian could be her MrRight, and many had speculated that she would marry him this year or next.

The couple were seen attending Cantopop singer Hacken Lee's concert together in mid-July and they were reported by Hong Kong media to be behaving in a lovey-dovey manner.

The pair have even met each other's parents, with Hsuan travelling to South Africa to meet Bester's folks.

While they were dating, Hsuan often picked Bester up after work and the two did not look like a couple on the verge of splitting.

On ending the relationship, Hsuan said matter-of-factly: "We had our differences and we had tried to resolve them, but there were some problems we could not work out. This is reality."
