Jay Chou caught with his latest squeeze in Marseille

Jay Chou has been caught out romancing 18-year-old model Hannah Quinlivan in France. The 32-year-old Mandopop star is totally adept at hiding his love life from the media, though he seems to enjoy at times a cat-and-mouse game with the paparazzi (or "doggie pack", as it's referred to here) and is not averse to raising his profile by keeping everyone guessing who his latest conquest is.

The Chinese-speaking world's biggest star, now a Hollywood actor, has previously been romantically linked with Vivian Hsu, Jolin Tsai, Hebe Tien, Patty Hou and Jessie Chiang.

As is usual with Chou, he has been claiming he and Quinlivan are "just friends" and after being pictured in Marseille holding his girl, poured scorn on the photographer for only managing to get a shot of his back.
