TVB actress Claire Yiu admits to divorce

TVB actress Claire Yiu has revealed that she has divorced former Hong Kong actor-turned-businessman Thomas Lam, who is 15 years her senior.

In a report by On.cc on June 18, the 45-year-old actress shared that the pair, who married in 2006, have actually been separated for years.

While she denied that there was a third party involved in the divorce, she did not reveal the reason for their split.

"I won't talk about it. It's a private matter. In fact, many colleagues in the company know that we have separated. We just don't want to affect the children, so we didn't go out of our way to announce it," said Claire.

They have a daughter, 15, and a son, 11, together, both of whom are staying with her now, Claire shared.

"Thomas and I have gone from being husband and wife to family, and we take care of our children together… They respect their parents' decision," she added.

Regarding their divorce, Thomas, 60, was just as reticent, merely stating that the split was due to "personal reasons". "The most important thing is to look forward. I have a good relationship with my children and have been maintaining contact with them," he said.
