Famous Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, who broke up with Li Chen six years ago due to a tax evasion scandal, posted photos of her trip to Spain on Weibo on the 20th, with a caption that reads, “520, is it still relevant? Let it be… Be good to yourself.” This subtly hinted that she is still single.
In the photos shared on Weibo, Fan Bingbing was seen wearing a rose-colored knitted sweater, paired with black pants and sunglasses, exuding an elegant and confident aura. Besides visiting famous landmarks, she also enjoyed a lavish seafood platter and Spanish seafood stew. The tempting delicacies seemed high-priced and exuded luxury.
At the age of 43, Fan Bingbing had a four-year relationship with actor Li Chen. In 2017, on her 36th birthday, Li Chen proposed to her. It was believed that their relationship would lead to marriage, but Fan Bingbing got entangled in a tax evasion scandal in 2018, fined over 880 million RMB by the authorities. Her entertainment career and reputation hit rock bottom, leading to their breakup in June 2019.
Regarding the reason for breaking up with Li Chen, Fan Bingbing revealed in an interview with fashion magazine “Bazaar Art” that her involvement in the tax scandal caused harm to her ex-boyfriend Li Chen and her brother Fan Chengcheng, affecting their work and reputation. She expressed, “I feel sorry for them, the only thing I could do was to keep them away from me, trying not to affect them anymore.”
Now, six years after parting ways with Li Chen, Fan Bingbing rarely discusses her past relationships in public. Her relationship status and career updates have always been the focus of public attention.
May 20th, known for the homophonic sound of “I love you” in Chinese, has become an important day symbolizing love and affection, a popular occasion for couples to express their love and commemorate special moments. Fan Bingbing, who has been slowly resuming some work overseas in recent years, responded nonchalantly when asked about celebrating 520, saying, “520, is it still relevant? Let it be… Be good to yourself.” This unexpected reveal of her emotional independence sparked discussions among netizens.
