In this season of break-ups, could true love finally win?

Social media users on Weibo have gone into a frenzy after rumours surfaced on the social media site that Hong Kong actors Louis Koo and Jessica Hsuan could be getting hitched later this year.

According to Mirror Media, Hong Kong media reported that the yacht which the 48-year-old bachelor bought in June wasn't just for his mum, but also for his wedding later this year to longtime friend and colleague, Jessica, also 48.

However, the news has yet to be confirmed as both artistes have not addressed the rumours.

That hasn't stopped fans from going crazy on Weibo, though, with most of them rooting for the couple and noting that they "look compatible".

Observant fans were quick to speculate that the coupling was evident because of various 'clues'.

Fans noted that Louis had sent Jessica a bouquet of flowers to wish her a successful performance in her stage play, Big Resignation Day.

They also pointed out an Instagram post on their respective accounts which shows them using the same filter to babify their face.

A bit of a stretch? We think so too.

Another clue that cyber sleuths dug up was an Instagram post showing Jessica at a dinner Louis organised.

However, that could have just been a coincidence as the dinner was arranged for the cast and crew of the upcoming movie, A Witness Out of The Blue, which stars both Jessica and Louis.

REEL LIFE IMITATES REAL LIFE?

Both Louis and Jessica have collaborated on various dramas and played onscreen lovers as well.

Most recently, it was announced in March that they are reuniting for the film adaptation of the 2001 drama A Step into The Past.

In addition to Louis and Jessica, stars such as Raymond Lam and Singapore-born actress Michelle Saram are also back to reprise their roles.

To add fuel to the 'burning romance', Jessica is also being managed by Louis' company, Sky High Entertainment.

Louis was previously romantically linked to ex-TVB show host Natalie Wong, and Taiwanese actress Joe Chen.

There were speculations that he was dating Amber Kuo at one point, but he had denied those rumours.

As for Jessica, her last boyfriend was Italian bae Fran, whom she broke up with in 2014.

According to JayneStars, their relationship ended because Jessica didn't want to sacrifice her career for marriage.
