Katy Kung surprised many recently by announcing that she has cut ties with KEW+, the restaurant that she and her friends launched a few years ago.

On 13 July, she posted a note from the law firm Wong & Tang Solicitors to KEW+, which stated that their client has terminated any and all direct and indirect legal relationships with the brand and any brands associated with it with effect from 23 January 2025.

It also added that Katy shall bear “no legal liability” for any “acts, omissions, defaults, or negligence” committed or to be committed by the owner of the brand, any associated brands, and/or their employees, agents, contractors, or licensees.

It is worth noting that this announcement seems to be related to the breakdown of her friendship with her business partner and Japanese confectionery maker Tetsuya Matsuoka.

Katy and her friends jointly invested in KEW+ back in August 2023. The restaurant has since opened branches in Tsim Sha Tsui, Wai Fong and Kowloon Tong.

Although she once dreamed of marrying early, Katy Kung recently revealed that she has now changed her mindset when it comes to marriage and baby.

In a recent interview with Mingpao, the TVB actress stated, “It’s better to rely on myself, because I need to find a partner with the same values. Even if I get married and have children in the future, I want to be able to develop my career. It won’t be easy.”

As for rumours of her dating Japanese dessert chef, Tetsuya Matsuoka, Katy reiterated her previous statement, saying that she hasn’t found a partner yet.

“I don’t even have enough time at this stage. I believe that when the time comes, fate will appear naturally,” she added.

As for her best buddies like Grace Chan and Zoie Tam, who married early in their careers, Katy expressed, “I wish them happiness. I am grateful that they would invite me to family gatherings.”

Meanwhile, Katy stated that she plans to open up her own bakery next year.

“It feels natural. I feel lucky along the way, and I have a lot of people around me to help,” she added.

Katy Kung has recently denied rumours that she is now dating Japanese chef Tetsuya Matsuoka.

As reported on Mingpao, the actress, who responded to the media’s questions regarding the romance rumours, stated that she is very thankful with all the blessings she received since the rumour made the news, but that the two of them are not dating.

“Tetsuya and I are working partners. Since Grace [Chan] knew that his family are not in Hong Kong, she invited him to her house to celebrate the Lunar New Year,” she said, explaining the chef’s appearance at Grace’s recent party.

Asked what Tetsuya thinks about the report, Katy laughed and said that the chef doesn’t understand Chinese. However, she admitted to be quite embarrassed about it.

Nonetheless, while the two are not together, Katy stated that she will not close the door on them developing more in the future.

Rumours are rife that Katy Kung is now dating Japanese chef Tetsuya Matsuoka.

As reported on Mingpao, sources recently claimed that the two were seen celebrating New Year at mutual friend Grace Chan’s place, and that they were introduced to each other by the actress.

Tetsuya, who works as a dessert chef, is said to have grown up in Kyushu and came to Tokyo at 18 to become a model. However, upon arriving in Hong Kong, he decided to open up a bakery alongside several friends and now owns several cake shops in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.

It is said that Katy is also a partner for his business in Tsim Sha Tsui.

It was also rumoured that Tetsuya has dated several people in showbiz before, including Angel Chiang.

While Katy has yet to address the rumour, Angel responded to the media that the two have never dated.

“He is just a friend. There is nothing special,” she added.
