Yaya Ying in passionate affair with Krit - not

However, there’s a however. “I’m wondering where this rumour came from, because it’s not true at all!” Ying would like to point out.

She says she’s known Krit since he was a DJ at GMM Grammy, but their relationship has never been close – and certainly not enough that they’d be having dinner together.

Ying says she called Krit about the gossip and found that he’s not taking it seriously. Well, he’s been ground up in the rumour mill before and lived to tell the tale. When he broke up with Marsha a few years back, the gossips really went to town on him, especially when Marsha revealed that he still owed her millions of baht stemming from various loans over the course of their romance. They eventually got that sorted out privately.

But now, quite publicly, here’s Krit meeting Yaya Ying in a restaurant. If that’s what people actually witnessed (and photographed), Ying says, it was exactly that – just a meeting.

They did indeed bump into one another at a restaurant recently. She was there with her friends and Krit stopped to say hello in passing.

Well, he must have been coming on to her then, right? “He didn’t show any signs of hitting on me at all,” she says. (Darn.) “Besides,” she adds with a laugh, “I think he’s dangerous because he’s always in the gossip news with all sorts of girls. That’s why it’s impossible that we’d be a couple.”

Ying avers once again that she’s in no hurry to be in a relationship and, anyway, she prefers the more mature type. Ouch.

 

Ananda and Donut cool down

Having tried to be an official celebrity couple once more, actors Ananda Everingham and Manasnan “Donut” Panlertwongskul have now separated for the second time.

Ananda insists it’s definitely a problem with their busy work schedules. “We’re both workaholics and busy with our separate careers. We live in our own little worlds,” he says.

This is the second “off” for their on-again-off-again romance. Their first split came last year, the reunion just a few months ago.

Lao-Australian Ananda shared the latest news with the press at the formal launch of the new TV series “Lued Mungkorn”, in which both he and Donut appear. Tellingly, Donut wasn’t present for the occasion, but Ananda claims she had a job that day in the Khao Yai area.

He says yes, they are now “just friends”, though he acknowledges that it might be best to keep their distance from one another. “Maybe we’re both just too crazy, me more so than her.”

One tangible effect of that kind of split is that Donut probably won’t be directing, as planned, a Thai-Chinese movie that Ananda is producing. “But let me see first. I do like her working style – it can reach an audience of a certain age – so I’m still thinking about it.”
