The 63-year-old actor revealed during a livestream on 18/8 that he has a "wonderful girlfriend" named Jane, who is 37. Jane shared that they have been dating for about two years. Although her father is the same age as Ma, her parents are supportive of their relationship, allowing her to make her own decisions.

When asked about their age gap, Jane said it doesn't bother them and they are happy together. They are not currently planning to marry. "Getting a marriage certificate is easy, but is it necessary? We both feel that piece of paper isn't that important," she explained.
Financially, Ma and Jane maintain separate accounts. Ma manages his own income, and Jane, who also works, is financially independent. They contribute equally to their shared expenses.
