During the TVB Anniversary Awards 2011, Myolie was very emotional in her acceptance speech and was open about her relationship with Bosco Wong by thanking him. Although she did not specify "Bosco Wong’s" name explicitly in her speech, she proclaimed her love for him and received the applause of the entire audience. Holding back tears, Myolie said, “There is one more person. He has always been very strict towards me. When we were filming Wars of In-Laws, he cared very much for me. I do not know what to say.…anyhow there was a little incident last night. He told reporters that when I receive the award tonight, he will go to the restroom! However, he did not go to the restroom. I know that I have many flaws and that I am difficult to get along with. But you (Bosco Wong) also have many flaws and you are difficult to get along with as well. I hope that we will continue to support each other!” After the awards ceremony, Bosco and Myolie hugged intimately onstage, perhaps their most public display of affection since dating.
