Recently, Wu Qian was spotted by a netizen shopping at a supermarket with a man and a child. The man was fully covered, which initially led to speculation about Wu Qian possibly being in a new relationship. However, sharp-eyed netizens identified the man as Zhang Yujian, Wu Qian’s ex-husband. Comments quickly surfaced suggesting the two may have reconciled, drawing widespread attention.
Old Scandals Revisited as the Two Are Seen Together Again
Wu Qian once surprised many by choosing to get married and have a child during the peak of her acting career. In contrast, Zhang Yujian was criticized for maintaining a “cool and single” public persona despite being married with a child. After their divorce was officially announced, Zhang’s public image took a serious hit, and his career sharply declined — a stain on his reputation that still lingers.
Post-divorce, Wu Qian continued to work, albeit with slightly reduced visibility, while Zhang Yujian seemed to fall into obscurity. Now, the rumors of a reconciliation between them have puzzled many, especially given Zhang’s controversial public persona in the past.
Multiple Sightings and Intimate Gestures Fuel Speculation
This isn’t the first time the two have been spotted together. A few years ago, netizens saw them out with their child and assumed it was simply divorced parents co-parenting.
This time, however, the situation seems different. Witnesses said the two were standing very close at the supermarket — even to the point where their legs seemed to be touching — behavior more characteristic of a couple than divorced parents. Some netizens even claimed to have seen them together with their child at a tea restaurant in Wuhan during Chinese New Year, noting their natural and intimate conversation style. According to these accounts, their interaction was more like a current couple than exes meeting only for their child.
One detail that drew attention was Wu Qian feeding the child while Zhang Yujian stood by without offering to help — a small moment that nonetheless sparked renewed discussion about their dynamic.
Netizens Divided: Are They Back Together or Just Co-Parenting?
Public opinion remains divided:
-
Some criticized Wu Qian, accusing her of being too emotionally driven: “She got married and had a child at her peak. Now she’s finally regaining her popularity — is she really going back to her ex?”
-
Others took a more neutral stance: “It’s common for divorced parents to appear together for their child’s sake. Look at Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng, or Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu — it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re back together.”
Some netizens emphasized that they’re not interested in gossiping about the relationship itself, but are concerned about how past events affected both of their careers. In particular, Zhang Yujian’s image was widely criticized during and after the relationship. There were even rumors that he had deceived Wu Qian into marriage — though he later issued a legal statement to clarify, many still felt sympathy for Wu Qian.
Conclusion: No Official Response Yet, but Public Interest Remains
As of now, neither Wu Qian nor Zhang Yujian has responded directly to the rumors of reconciliation. Whether they’re remarried or simply co-parenting remains unclear.
Still, as public figures, addressing the speculation could help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. And perhaps, instead of focusing on their private lives, audiences might prefer to see more great performances from both actors in the future.
