Dai Xiangyu, Chen Zihan hit by rumours of a third party


Chinese actor Dai Xiangyu announced his surprise marriage to Chinese actress Chen Zihan earlier this year on Weibo.

Recently, the couple were hit by allegations that Xiangyu had been married to Chinese actress Li Yixuan for 10 year prior to meeting Zihan, and that Zihan was the third party in his marriage.

When asked to comment on the matter, Yixuan said, “I do not wish to get involved in this matter. I don’t wish to be implicated and dragged into matters concerning these people anymore.” Her weary tone further fanned the fires, causing the rumours to spread even more.

Last Thursday, Xiangyu took to his Weibo to clarify the rumours. The actor wrote that he had always lived a peaceful and quiet life together with Zihan, and stressed that there was “no third party or fourth party” in their relationship.



“We’re just a simple couple, loving freely. This is the first marriage for both of us,” the 31-year-old wrote on his Weibo.

Zihan also reposted his post shortly after, adding, “With you around, [I feel] very blessed. A simple life, [let’s] work hard! Don’t worry, we’re both very good. Thank you everyone,” and a picture of them holding hands.

While some netizens did comment on their post, writing that the couple had not addressed how Yixuan was related to them, majority of the commenters showed their approval for the couple, praising them for clearing up the matter quickly.
