Rosamund Kwan to marry in April 2015

HONG KONG - Retired Hong Kong actress Rosamund Kwan will wed Taiwanese billionaire Pierre Chen in Nice, France, in April 2015, Apple Daily Hong Kong reported.

No official confirmation of the nuptials was reported but Apple said Chen, 58, proposed two months ago and has started wedding preparations.

It said the couple have started informing friends including celebrities Carina Lau and Kenny Bee, who will fly by Chen's private jet to the wedding venue.

The couple have been linked since 2007 but it was only in August this year that Kwan publicly took Chen as her date to a Hong Kong concert, reported Apple.

Chen, the head of Taiwanese electronic components maker Yageo Corp, is a divorcee with three children, said Apple.

Kwan, 52, was married to a businessman for six months in 1982.
