Before being married in 2011 at a grandiose ceremony with a star-studded guest list, the singer dated the American businessman for eight years.
Who Was CoCo Lee Married To?
In October 2011, CoCo Lee got married to Bruce Rockowitz. At the Shaw Studios in Hong Kong, the couple enjoyed a magnificent wedding ceremony. Rockowitz is a Canadian businessman, Rock Media International’s chairman, and co-founder of the Pure Group.
In addition, Bruce oversaw Global Brands Group, a holding business that created a variety of items for well-known companies, including Disney, Tommy Hilfiger, and others. He also served on the Fashion Institute of Technology boards and the Jay H. Baker Retailing Centre at the Wharton School.
More than 300 guests attended the wealthy wedding of the business tycoon and Hong Kong-born CoCo in October 2011.
Several prominent stars made their entries at the couple’s wedding, including Black Eyed Peas, Bruno Mars, Marianne Bennett Band, and more musicians who performed at the ceremony.
CoCo was also the stepmother of Bruce’s daughter with his first wife. However, the couple didn’t produce any offspring of their own.
