Mayor Gregor Robertson romantically linked to pop star Wanting Qu

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      If you follow the #vanpoli hashtag on Twitter, you've probably heard the latest in Vancouver political/celebrity gossip.

      Local journalist Frances Bula has blogged that, according to her unnamed sources, Mayor Gregor Robertson, 50, is dating local Chinese pop music star Wanting Qu, 31.

      You'll recall that Robertson separated from his wife Amy last year, and (fairly despicable) rumours were spread linking him to women at city hall, in his party, et cetera.

      Bula wrote on her blog:

      And, contrary to the nasty little rumour passed around all last fall in emails, conversations and even brown envelopes dropped at doors in the west side, the mayor is not dating a well-known person in the development industry. Instead, according to extremely reliable sources (this is not gossip), he is currently seeing Wanting Qu, a 31-year-old Chinese popular-music star who has a lot of buzz in Vancouver.

      While we have no idea if Bula's report is true—nor do we care to seriously investigate this post-election gossip—it's clear Robertson and Qu know each other.

      Just check out their history on Twitter:

      If only her last name was "Yu" instead of "Qu."

      He is old enough to be her father! Everything he does is disgusting. (I am not a supporter of any political party)

      How typical

      Why am I not the least bit surprised. I'd heard rumours that he was dating someone and that was the cause of his split from his wife but to find out it's a woman almost 20 years his junior! And an asian at that! Ha! How typical of Vancouver!

      no wonder

      Typical of Vancouver sickness. It's spreading as the western media's propaganda is working and effective on Asian women . How is going out with a 50 year old mayor OK? Did this girl fall for the mayor's bs as the city of Vancouver did? We are all getting screwed, including Wanting Qu.

      A few Asian women have told me that it's quite fashionable here to have a tall, white boyfriend with money. I'm not making this up either. If this woman is the reason for his separation, I feel awful for his wife and children.
