The pair was said to be making their way home after a seafood dinner yesterday (Feb 9) and Sarah was leaning up for a hug when the photo was snapped, catching them off guard. Upset, the actor told the paparazzi to leave immediately and blocked his date’s face from the camera.
The pair was also spotted leaving a massage parlour earlier that day after a massage session. Shawn even impressed his date when he showed off his gentlemanly ways by opening the car door for her before walking to the driver’s seat.
The coupled was first rumoured to be dating when they were caught posing intimately in a group picture. After several rounds of denial, the 35-year-old actor implicitly admitted to the relationship by posting a photo with the caption, “Invincible. The future is bright”.
Their relationship is not well-received by netizens as they mostly feel that Shawn should date his We Are In Love co-star, Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu, instead. Hurt by the naysayers, the actor said, “What’s the point of putting things so harshly? Your comments have hurt me and I really don’t wish to start 2017 this way”.
