Hong Kong pop star Andy Hui admitted to rumours about his reunion with his old flame, singer-actress Sammi Cheng.

During a recent training session with Hong Kong's celebrity football team, Andy Hui was asked by a reporter whether the rumours were true and he responded with "a nod and a smile", the Chongqing Evening News reports.

Actor Dicky Cheung, a good friend of Hui, said, "They have been together for such a long time, and we all wish them every success."

Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng both attended the wedding ceremony of Dicky Cheung in the Philippines in January and stayed for three days after the ceremony ended, triggering speculation about their revival of once-severed relationship.

Hui, 42, and Cheng, 37, began dating in 1996 and formally broke up in 2004.
