A heavenly marriage is brought down to the ground

It looked like a marriage made in heaven when celebrities Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung combined their star power and tied the knot five years ago - but the end is nigh it appears.

The Hong Kong power couple, who have two kids, were rocked when Cheung was involved in Edison Chen's sex photo scandal more than two years ago, though Tse stuck by his partner and the pair seemed to have put their troubles behind them.

But behind the smiles and behind the scenes, it was not picture perfect. According to a number of publications in Hong Kong, Tse was seeing a lover in Beijing, while East Week disclosed Cheung was having a relationship with a 50-year-old mainland billionaire. There are also rumors that Cheung has been selling off the couple's assets behind Tse's back.
