THE 11-year marriage of Hong Kong-American singer Coco Lee is said to be on the rocks due to her husband’s infidelities.
Major Chinese dailies reported that the 47-year-old celebrity moved out from their home in Hong Kong about six months ago.
A close friend of Lee, who broke the news to the media, claimed that Lee’s husband, Canadian businessman Bruce Rockowitz, 63, had cheated on his wife again.
“She forgave him once but he has not changed. This is the third time, and he admitted to the extra-marital affair,” said the friend.
The friend revealed that Lee was deeply hurt, especially when her two stepdaughters took their father’s side. They were Rockowitz’s children with his previous wife.
> Some parents in Johor have complained about facing additional financial burden when primary schools held the graduation ceremonies of pupils in lavish restaurants, China Press reported.
The issue surfaced last week when one parent had to pay RM80 each for his child, wife and himself, and another RM80 for the “love the school” graduation fund.
The fees included a meal and the rental of a graduation gown for his child.
