Chinese actor Li Yapeng has made his first public appearance since divorcing pop diva Faye Wong.

The couple shocked fans in September when they announced the divorce on their weibo after eight-years of marriage.

While rumors swirled on the reasons for the divorce, Wong said no third party was involved nor were there any financial problems. She insisted that it was a personal decision and they parted on good terms.

Li who was in Hong Kong celebrating the launch of a luxury watch brand didn't hang around to speak to journalists and quickly left the event.

But his good friend, actress Huang Yi did address the press on his behalf:

"He doesn't need any counseling, he's in a good place. I hope he loses his bachelor status soon."
