Jessica Hsuan Responds to Louis Koo Dating Rumours After Posting Mysterious Hand-Holding Pic
A ship come true?
Earlier this week, Hong Kong actress Jessica Hsuan, 55, sent fans into a frenzy after posting a mysterious photo of two hands intertwined on Facebook — alongside a freshly updated profile picture.
The cryptic post immediately set tongues wagging, with fans speculating that Jessica was hinting at a relationship with her long-time rumoured beau, Louis Koo, 55.
The two stars, who have been close friends for more than two decades, have long been the subject of dating rumours.
While the identity of the other person in Jessica’s photo remains a mystery, that didn’t stop netizens from losing their minds. Those who ship the pair were probably squealing and kicking their feet in delight.
Her comments section was soon flooded with messages like: “Is that Louis Koo?”
“Congratulations to you and Louis! May you stay happy and grow old together!”
Some even zoomed in on the photo to study the skin tone and shape of the hand, hoping to uncover clues that it really belonged to Louis.
Sorry, shippers, Jessica wasted no time bursting the bubble.
She took to Threads shortly after to clarify: “Pure friendship. Not what you are all thinking.”
But fans being fans, many refused to let go of their hopes. One commenter wrote: “But you two look really good together!”
Another added cheekily: “All relationships start with friendship. Don’t be shy!”
Jessica and Louis are one of Hong Kong television’s most beloved on-screen pairings, having starred together in several classics, including Detective Investigation Files IV (1999), Man’s Best Friend (2000), and A Step into the Past (2001).
In 2018, Jessica also signed with Louis Koo’s One Cool Group, further fuelling fans’ hopes that their chemistry might one day turn into something more.
Looks like fans are still holding out for Hong Kong’s very own Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin moment.
