Controversial Hong Kong singer Steven Cheung and his wife Au Yin Man have been married for six years, but their relationship has been plagued by recurring ups and downs.

In January 2022, Au, 33, announced their divorce but reconciled just two days after.

Later that year, she hinted at another possible separation, saying she had reached her limit, though the split never materialised.

Now, fresh tension appears to be brewing between the two.

According to China Press, Cheung, 40, recently accused his wife of causing him to lose a job opportunity in mainland China.

In response to the claim, Au took to her Instagram Story to lash out at Cheung, warning that she would go “even crazier” if he provoked her further.

“I have responsibilities too, so please give me time to go out and work.

“You told me I was the reason you couldn’t go back to work in China, but please think about what you had previously done when you went to work there!

“If you keep provoking me, I’ll go even crazier. I already have a reputation for being mentally unstable anyway,” she wrote.

Au didn’t elaborate further on what Cheung allegedly did during his previous stay in China.

For the record, Cheung’s career took a hit in 2019 after he announced his marriage to Au while still dating Hong Kong actress April Leung.

In recent years, the singer, who was part of the Cantopop duo Boyz, has taken on various jobs to make ends meet – including cable wiring, construction work, distributing fliers and condoms, as well as making food delivery orders.

Despite his efforts, Cheung and his family continue to face financial hardship.

In May, Au revealed that they had fallen a month and a half behind on their rent, which amounts to HK$15,000 (RM8,130) per month.

The family received a lease termination notice from their landlord earlier this month.
