The 39-year-old singing superstar A-Mei is said to have taken a three-week break with her rumored lover, a bartender known only as "Sam Yao", before a series of seven concerts in Taipei.
Sam invited the singer to watch him play basketball because A-Mei has a penchant for young and sporty guys (she used to date basketball player Sam Ho, 11 years her junior).
The keen-to-please Sam, thought to be 32, has also quit smoking for the singer.
