Vanness Wu splits from Singapore girlfriend

TAIPEI: Former F4 member Vanness Wu has admitted that he has split from his Singapore girlfriend Arissa Cheo, according to Taiwan media reports.

"Indeed, [we have] broken up, but we still keep in contact with each other. We are still friends," said Wu through his manager on Sunday.

The 32-year-old singer's relationship with 28-year-old Cheo became public after he was photographed with her on numerous occasions in April earlier this year.

Wu had previously said they were "dating with marriage in mind" and appeared to be very happy with Cheo.

Speculation has been rife about what caused their separation, with some believing that it was the incompatibility between Wu's relatively quiet lifestyle and Cheo's fun loving character that drove a wedge between them.

However, Wu's manager declined to comment further on the matter saying "it is not convenient to talk about these things" when pressed by the media.

"He (Wu) feels that the other party (Cheo) is not from the entertainment industry, and hopes to respect her privacy" Wu's manager also said. -CNA/ha
