Rosamund Kwan dating Taiwanese businessman?

Hong Kong actress-turned-businesswoman Rosamund Kwan might have announced her retirement from showbiz in 2010, but that has not stopped the media from speculating on her love life.

Rosamund has been romantically linked to 56-year-old Taiwan businessman, Chen Tai Ming, for five years. Despite being caught touring together on several occasions, the pair constantly claim that they are "just close friends".

Rosamund and Tai Ming's relationship reportedly deepened when the latter became her close companion following her father's passing last month.

The relationship may become public soon, as Rosamund recently updated her microblog with a number of photos of her and Tai Ming. The duo was seen sitting close to each other and it is believed that they attended a friend's birthday party together.

Netizens instantly congratulated her on her new relationship upon seeing the photos. Rosamund did not reply to any of the comments and deleted the photos soon afterward.
