Vanness Wu Back With Ex Arissa?

Guess you can't forget your old love that easily.

Vanness Wu dated Singaporean girlfriend Arissa Cheo in 2006 but the two broke up after a year. Then the "Autumn Concerto" star openly announced getting back with his ex this April. However, the 'AV' (Arissa-Vanness)-love ended again and Vanness wasn't willing to confirm the reason for the split.

Although Vanness told the media that he only wants to focus at his career at the moment, but yesterday he was spotted at an airport in Taiwan with Arissa. The couple arrived Taiwan from Hong Kong and walked out from the gate together. They kept a distance from each other to avoid attention. But fans still recognized the actor and he stopped to chat and take pictures with them.

Then Vanness got on the car Arissa was in and they drove to his house in Keelung, Taiwan. Arissa was still keeping a distance from her boyfriend after she got off the car. The couple then went into the house together.

The singer's manager Katie didn't confirm whether the he's back with his ex again, only saying they're still good friends. Perhaps to avoid media attention, this time Vanness decides not to make his relationship public to protect his privacy.
