Martial arts legend Sammo Hung’s eldest son, Timmy Hung, 50, and former TVB actress Janet Chow, 41, have once again been hit by rumours of marital trouble after the latter was recently photographed partying at a private club with three men.

Janet was seen walking arm-in-arm with one of them, a former executive at a record label and close friend of Heavenly King Leon Lai.

The group reportedly stayed out to the early hours of the morning, with Janet leaving the venue visibly flushed.

Timmy, who has been based mostly in China during their 13-year marriage,has also had his fair share of scandals.

In 2014, he was photographed drunk and embracing a model at a nightclub, and in 2017, he was seen taking a woman back to his hotel after a night out.

Despite these controversies, Janet has consistently stood by him, calling it all a misunderstanding.

But in recent years, insiders claim things may not be as rosy as they seem.

The couple, who have two sons, TJ, 12, and JT, 10, is said to only post family photos during holidays or major occasions to maintain a public image of unity.

According to media who claim to have trailed them for nearly a month, sightings of the family together have been rare.

Insiders said they have been living separate lives for a long time, but remain married because Sammoforbids them from divorcing.

The action star dotes on his grandchildren and doesn't want them growing up in a broken family.

With his health reportedly declining, Timmy allegedly does not want to upset his father, so the couple continues to keep up appearances while privately doing as they please.

In response to Janet’s recent scandal, Timmydismissed the allegations as “laughable.”

He told reporters that he knows the man Janet was seen with and that they’re all just good friends.

He criticised the media for using misleading headlines, saying even if only “one or two out of a hundred people” believe them, it could still harm his family.

Janetalso issued a statement clarifying the situation. She said the outing was supposed to be a casual meet-up with her cousin, and she wasn’t the only woman present.

As for holding the man’s arm, she explained it was simply because she hadn’t worn high heels in a while and needed support.

She emphasised that the man is a good friend of Timmy’s and someone she sees as “a brother.”

Janet added: “I love Timmy very much. He’s always on my mind. We communicate really well, and there’s no need for everyone to worry about us.”
