His daughter Annise, long kept out of the spotlight, has now become a trending topic after she was spotted on a date with TVB actor Cheung Ming Wai, a man known not only for his acting skills but for his prestigious lineage.

His father is a prominent lawyer and businessman deeply involved in the local political scene. Sources close to the couple revealed that they have been dating privately for over a year and are now seriously considering getting married. In fact, both families have already met, fueling speculation that a nuptials could be imminent.
“Annise inherits her mother’s beauty,” netizens say, some even comparing her elegant features to former TVB star Fala Chen, who came to Hollywood via Marvel projects. However, unlike her mother, Annise chose a quieter life path, studying and working in fashion design rather than entering the entertainment industry.
Loletta Lee, born in 1966, was once considered the dream girl for many Hong Kong men. After a celebrated career with over 100 roles, including a stunning performance as Fong Ting in the acclaimed TVB drama Man’s greed-won Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards in 1999 for Ordinary heroes. But her bold move into bolder roles in the ’90s forever changed her public image, earning her a new nickname: the Queen of 18+ Movies.
Despite his fame, Lee’s private life was marked by turbulence. She has been involved in numerous scandals, including two widely publicized affairs with married men. One of these led to the breakdown of her marriage to musician Clarence Hui, Annise’s father. Another, with a married hairdresser, ended so disastrously that the stylist’s wife published a book accusing Lee of being a homewrecker. The backlash pushed Lee into depression and a suicide attempt, which was narrowly prevented by family members.
Since then, Lee has stepped away from the limelight, choosing to quietly raise her daughter in Canada. He only publicly introduced Annise at the age of 22.
As news circulates about Annise’s elite romance, many are calling it a redemption arc for Lee’s family, a transformation from scandal to grace. Although no official statement has been released by either party, the possibility of a union between two prominent families has captured the public imagination.
Will the daughter of a once controversial icon now become a symbol of elegance in high society? Only time will tell, but the story has already captivated Hong Kong entertainment fans both past and present.
