Ivy Shao has recently laughed off rumours saying that she and boyfriend Wu Kang-ren have secretly tied the knot.

The actress, who attended the wrap-up party for her new movie on 26 February, addressed the rumour that has been swirling since late last year, saying that there is no truth to it at all.

“I don’t know who told people that. Even my mum called me to ask,” she said with a laugh.

Ivy, however, admitted that she and Wu had dinner with both families on Chinese New Year, seeing that both of them are from Kaohsiung.

Asked if they have pressured her to get married, she said, “No. My mother even said in the past that I am not allowed to get married before the age of 30. She thinks people should fulfil their dreams while they are young.”

Meanwhile, Ivy admitted that Wu had been very supportive of her playing the lead in the new movie.

“I was under a lot of pressure and he gave me a lot of encouragement,” she added.

Ivy Shao is not at all affected by the lack of mention by boyfriend Wu Kang-ren during his speech at the Golden Horse Awards.

The actress, who shed a tear of happiness at seeing Wu on stage to win his first ever Best Actor award for “Abang Adik”, told the media that she understood that it must have been overwhelming for him to go on stage to accept his accolade.

“He said that his legs were weak during the speech and he forgot to thank me. I understand his situation,” she said.

Ivy then added that Wu already thanked her every day, and that they met after the event and hugged each other.

On the other hand, Wu himself stated that he is always thankful to the actress who has always been supportive of him, and even took care of his cat while he was staying in Malaysia for a month to shoot the movie.

In his speech, the actor thanked his co-star Jack Tan for being there for him while he was working in Malaysia, as well as director Jin Ong and producer Angelica Lee for giving him the opportunity to star in the movie.
