SAYA expressed her surprise, stating, “Why haven’t I heard about this? I was startled when I heard it just now. How did such news come about?” SAYA further disclosed that she primarily focuses on her two children in her personal life and pays less attention to the news, hence her lack of knowledge about A-Mei’s rumored marriage. SAYA also openly admitted to being in a stable relationship with a non-celebrity boyfriend for over three years, and A-Mei has even had the pleasure of meeting him. When asked if she had any intentions of remarrying, SAYA jokingly replied, “I’ve been married once before, and that’s enough for me.”
