Singapore, Sept. 16 -- BEIJING • Will wedding bells soon ring for Ms Laurinda Ho and Chinese-Canadian actor Shawn Dou?

The couple have sparked talk of marriage since they disclosed their relationship on social media in April last year.

In October last year, Dou, who shot to fame in Chinese director Zhang Yimou's 2010 movie Under The Hawthorn Tree, was said to have taken Ms Ho to Canada to meet his parents.

Earlier this week, Ms Ho, 29, and Dou, 31, were spotted in his home town in Xi'an, China.
