A fan spotted Derek Yee walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 15, 2025. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Derek back on the market?

A rep for Derek Yee was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director - known for having been romantically involved with Maggie Cheung - was splitting hit the internet Friday (May 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Derek’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”
