Portraying a handsome lawyer in The Other Truth <真相>, Ruco Chan (陳 展鵬) was extremely popular among housewives and office ladies. Thirty-four-year-old Ruco Chan secured the new title of “Lady Killer.” Since his popularity increased, negative rumors followed. Earlier there were rumors that he and The Other Truth co-star, Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), were involved, while other rumors claimed that he was dating Ma Su (馬蘇). However, these were only fabricated rumors. The truth is that Ruco and 2008 Miss Asia, Eunis Yiu (姚佳雯), were living together for two years and did not break up yet.
To save his career, Ruco turned his relationship with Eunis underground, while announcing that he was single to the public. When he first entered the industry, Ruco was noted to physically resemble Andy Lau (劉德華). Apparently, Ruco even copied Andy’s gesture of hiding his girlfriend! Currently promoted by TVB, Ruco knew that TVB wished their artists to handle their love lives understatedly. In an earlier interview with Sudden Weekly, Ruco stated that he was currently single, while noting he was loyal in love.
Girlfriend Purchased Red Underwear For Ruco
In fact, Ruco has very few romantic rumors. Since meeting Eunis Yiu in 2008, the pair dated and moved in together. Six months ago, Sudden Weekly photographed Ruco and Eunis Yiu shopping together at 3 PM. The pair were at Tsim Sha Tsui’s Ocean Center purchasing skincare products. Although Ruco’s popularity was far from his current level at the time, he still appeared cautious. Eunis was originally linking arms with boyfriend, Ruco. When they entered a crowded area, Ruco gently pulled away from Eunis’ hand.After purchasing skincare products, Ruco and Eunis entered a Calvin Klein store together at approximately 6 PM. Eunis selected a pair of Calvin Klein red briefs for $220 HKD for Ruco, who waited outside the store. Perhaps the mall grew increasingly crowded, Eunis and Ruco parted ways to do their shopping and took separate taxis home.
Neighbors Heard Love Making Sounds
With his increased popularity, Ruco was very cautious in avoiding reporters following him. Each time he drove his car out and discovered reporters tailgating him, he would slow down and spin around several times to lose the reporters. It was apparent that he was very careful in protecting his love life.
A recent tabloid revealed that a neighbor living next to Ruco and Eunis’ home complained that there were love making noises coming from the couple’s apartment! When the reporter confronted Eunis about the matter, she laughed loudly. She denied dating Ruco, “I am only very, very good friends with Ruco. I admire him; he is so successful….”
After winning the 2008 Miss Asia title, Eunis Yiu hosted variety programs at ATV. Ruco was acting and hosting programs at the same time, thus the pair met and started dating, eventually moving in with each other. While at ATV, Ruco’s salary was not high. However, Eunis stated that she did not mind supporting her boyfriend. “When selecting a boyfriend, do I want him to have money or be handsome? I will say handsome because my current boyfriend does not have money. He is very tall and handsome. If he does not mind, I will earn money to support him!”
In a February 2010 interview, Eunis revealed that her relationship with her boyfriend was stable. “We have been dating for three years. We normally exchange gifts. When we get married, I will be a virtuous wife and learn how to prepare soups….” The boyfriend Eunis was referring to was Ruco Chan.
Keeping Relationship Underground to Save Career
An TVB inside source revealed, “Every TVB artist is the same. You know from looking at Raymond Lam (林峯) and Ron Ng (吳卓羲). When Ruco signed a contract with TVB, the company reminded him to handle rumors carefully. Since TVB vowed to heavily promote him, of course Ruco will be careful! If he offended TVB, then he will hurt himself. In addition, his girlfriend is in ATV, which is still the rival studio and presents an awkward situation. To avoid public scrutiny, they have been spreading news that they broke up for over a year. To avoid the media taking photos of them together, they will not go outside to date and will only cook at home.”
Recently, Ruco has been busy filming ATF Counter Terrorism Unit <ATF 反恐> and did not have time to spend with his girlfriend. He hoped to maximize the next few years to establish himself as a leading actor. Twenty-six-year-old Eunis mentioned to Ruco that she wanted to get married. However, Ruco wished to wait. Recently the pair spent more time apart than together.
