Personal Life
In 2008, Leong met Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li, son of billionaire Li Ka-shing when she was 19 and he was 41. The couple met on a movie set. The following year, Leong gave birth to their first son. For this, Leong was allowed to use Li's family mansions in San Francisco. They also provided her with an entourage of care-givers, including five bodyguards, four full-time nannies and a personal attendant. Channel News Asia noted some speculation about a large pre-nuptial agreement. A 100-day-old banquet was held for her son from July 9–11, 2009, for three consecutive days, with some of the city's celebrities like Stanley Ho and his second wife Lam Wan Ying, and Tsang Yam Pui and his wife having been spotted in attendance.
In June 2010, Leong gave birth to Li's twin sons in San Francisco.
In March 2011, Isabella announced that she and Richard Li have ended their relationship, explaining that "life with children bored " and she "missed old life". They both declared that the split is amicable and that they will both take care of their children.
