Besides his current wife, Chu Le Thien, the only relationship that Andy Lau has ever publicly announced is with actress Du Kha Han. In Du Kha Ngan's autobiography, she wrote about her love affair with Andy Lau: "That year I was 18 years old and Andy Lau was 22 years old. We fell in love at first sight and I gave him my first night on the fifth day of our relationship."

Yu Kexin and Andy Lau once had a relationship that caused a lot of controversy. After falling in love at first sight, the two moved in together. At that time, many people thought that Andy Lau would marry Yu Kexin because they were no different from husband and wife. Some sources even revealed that the male star had brought his girlfriend home to meet his family and his mother was quite pleased with her future daughter-in-law.

The love story seemed to have a happy ending, but they quickly broke up after 3 years together. At that time, a lot of information appeared related to the couple's private life. Some people thought that Andy Lau abandoned Yu Ke Han to marry Chu Le Thien, causing the Taiwanese star to fall into despair, her career gradually declined, and she even had no place in showbiz.

At the time Andy Lau was preparing to get married, Yu Kexin published the book "Me and Andy Lau". According to the actress, Chu Le Thien was the "third chil.d" who stole the man she loved. With these shares, Andy Lau and Chu Le Thien received a lot of criticism from public opinion. The 6X Heavenly King was blamed for being a terrible, ungrateful man. Because of this noise, he decided to keep his private life a secret for many years.

However, later, Andy Lau's fans counterattacked and criticized Yu Kexin. Because in her autobiography "Me and Andy Lau", the actress not only talked about her love affair with the Hong Kong star but also boldly told about their bedroom stories. This affected his image. Some even thought that this was a "tric.k" for Yu Kexin to attract attention when she could not forget her ex.
