Hua Chenyu: GEM Tang and I are friends!

Chinese actor Hua Chenyu recently gave his first response regarding the rumours of romance with Hong Kong diva GEM Tang, saying that the two of them are just friends.

As reported on Xinhua, the singer, who attended the 23rd Oriental Billboard Awards held in Shanghai on 28 March with GEM Tang, albeit separately, stated, "The two of us are not in love. It's not what you think. The relationship is purely platonic."

"I hope that you will just enjoy our music. It's quite embarrassing for me if you keep insisting about it," he added.

Hua also stated that he has no problem collaborating with GEM if there is an opportunity to do so.

Rumours of romance between them sparked back in January when tabloids published photos of what seemed to be the two stars hiding behind face masks on a date.

Sources claimed that the two of them have started dating since October last year.
