Leon Lai and Gaile Lok ends four-year-long marriage
After being Mr and Mrs Leon Lai for four years, Leon and Gaile Lok finally called it quits and ended their four-year-long marriage yesterday.
The ex-couple issued a joint statement through their management company, Paciwood Music & Entertainment Ltd. and cited "irreconcilable differences in their philosophy in life" as the main reason behind the split.
A close friend revealed the root cause behind their divorce and said it was due to the lack of quality time spent together after they got married in 2008.
A career-minded Leon was said to have lavished his missus with luxurious gifts such as a yacht and a mansion to win her over. He went as far as to financially support Gaile's restaurant and art gallery business venture in order to salvage their marriage, but things did not work out as planned. Gaile still felt neglected and even requested for him to "spend more time at home".
Another source stated that Leon was overly-protective towards Gaile. He reportedly sieved through her workload and social life, and put a stop to her modelling career.
