Li Xiaoran has addressed long-running rumors about her relationship with Xie Na, making it clear that the two remain close despite years of online speculation.
During a recent program appearance, Li Xiaoran directly responded to recurring claims that she and Xie Na had fallen out.
According to her, the rumors never reflected reality.
“We’ve Always Stayed in Touch”
Li Xiaoran explained that while their communication may not be as frequent as before due to busy work schedules, the two have never truly lost contact.
She shared that they have continued to stay in touch privately and maintain a strong relationship behind the scenes.
“Actually, we’ve always stayed in contact privately,” she said.
She added that work commitments naturally make communication less frequent at times, but emphasized that this does not mean they stopped speaking to one another.
Choosing Not to Respond to Rumors
The actress also addressed why neither she nor Xie Na has publicly responded to the rumors over the years.
According to her, they deliberately chose not to give attention to outside speculation.
She explained that there are simply too many false narratives online and that they do not feel the need to constantly defend their friendship to strangers.
“Our Friendship Is for Life”
Perhaps the most talked-about part of her response was her emotional statement about their bond.
Li Xiaoran said that the love and friendship between her and Xie Na is lifelong and does not require public validation.
She stated that they do not need to prove their relationship to anyone.
Her comments quickly resonated with fans, many of whom praised her mature response to celebrity friendship rumors and applauded both stars for choosing to stay above online drama.
