In the entertainment world, celebrities’ love lives are always in the spotlight. Mention Zhao Liying, and many still recall her past with Feng Shaofeng — their sudden marriage announcement once delighted fans and fueled long-held hopes for a reunion. Yet Feng’s recent updates suggest such expectations may finally fade.
After their divorce, Zhao intended to focus on her career, but relationship rumors kept surfacing. In May, she was linked to director Midi Z, with netizens digging up photos from February last year showing them shopping together in Paris, the man carrying her bag. Later, media captured Midi visiting Zhao’s home frequently and even taking her young son out to play. Though they were never photographed together directly, the details fed speculation.
While these rumors swirled, Zhao’s Weibo promotion for her new drama Among the People sparked another stir, as fans shifted the discussion from her work to her love life. She eventually replied with a curt comment, indirectly denying ties with Midi Z.
Meanwhile, stories of her remarrying Feng persisted — including claims that Feng’s mother had offered jewelry worth millions to reconcile, and gossip of a “second pregnancy.” In reality, Feng has moved on. Recently, he was seen shopping with a new girlfriend at a high-end Beijing mall, then dining with friends including Aarif Rahman before leaving hand in hand. Reports say she is a post-95, nearly 20 years younger, and already fitting in with his social circle.
Now, their only connection is co-parenting their son “Xiangxiang.” Zhao remains focused on her career, unfazed by CP rumors with actors like Chen Xiao or Wang Yibo, and undeterred by false pregnancy gossip. From her early days as a flight attendant to becoming a top-tier actress, she has advanced with steady determination. Despite past controversies over The Story of the Sauce Garden, she won renewed praise from mainstream media through her work.
In a world of endless speculation, Zhao stays immersed in scripts and filming, letting her performances speak for her — while Feng’s new romance leaves talk of reconciliation firmly in the past.
