| TVB Pair with a 38-Year Gap? Roger Kwok & Hilary Chong Stir Romance Rumours |
Hong Kong’s showbiz grapevine’s gone proper mad this week after whispers started swirling that veteran actor Roger Kwok, 61, might just be getting a little too cosy with none other than 22-year-old Miss Hong Kong 2023, Hilary Chong. And with a 38-year age gap between them, the internet’s naturally having a field day.
It all kicked off after local media outlet On dropped a spicy little nugget suggesting there might be more than just friendship brewing between the long-time TVB actor and the pageant princess-turned-rising actress. The pair met while filming the recent drama The Fading Gold — and plot twist, they played a father-daughter duo onscreen.
But apparently, the bond didn’t stop once the cameras did. Since filming wrapped, they’ve reportedly been spotted playing tennis together on the regular — nothing wrong with that, sure — but fans reckon the frequency of these hangouts is starting to feel a bit sus.
Then came April — and Roger only went and threw a full-on surprise birthday bash for Hilary. That’s not exactly something you do for just any co-star, yeah? Naturally, rumours exploded.

Netizens have been going back and forth ever since. Some are loving the idea, calling it sweet and unexpected. Others reckon it’s giving weird “dad and daughter but not really” energy — especially given their on-screen roles.
Hilary, for her part, has already tried to squash the rumours. She told press that Roger is like family to her, nothing romantic going on at all. “We’ve got mutual friends and hang out as a group,” she said. “There’s nothing more to it.”

That said, when asked if she’d ever date someone much older, she was refreshingly open: “Love doesn’t have age, gender, or nationality limits. If two people vibe, they vibe — I’ve got no age ceiling when it comes to relationships.”
Still, she made it crystal clear that whatever’s going on between her and Roger is purely mentor-mentee, nothing more.
As for Roger Kwok? Man’s playing it cool — hasn’t said a single word about it. Silent as ever.
Quick background check for those who need it: Roger is a full-blown TVB icon, winning Best Actor three times and headlining dramas like Square Pegs and Black Heart White Soul. He was married to actress Cindy Au for 18 years, and they’ve got two kids together. The couple officially announced their split back in May 2024 — a clean break, no mess, just mutual respect.
Hilary Chong, on the other hand, is TVB’s latest golden girl. She took the crown at Miss Hong Kong 2023 and has been fast-tracked into stardom by the network. With her soft visuals, endearing charm and polished on-screen presence, she’s one of the most-watched newcomers on the scene right now.
So, are they dating? Or is this just a classic case of the rumour mill running riot?
At this point, it’s all speculation. But with fans glued to every public sighting and every cryptic quote, don’t be surprised if this becomes one of TVB’s hottest headlines for weeks to come.
