On May 15, 2024, mainland Chinese singer Wang Feng, who ended his eight-year marriage with Zhang Ziyi last year, was recently spotted celebrating Mother’s Day with his children alongside a long-haired woman, sparking rumors of a new romance. The identity of the woman has now been revealed as a web celebrity named Li Qiao, also known as “Senlin Bei”.
On May 14, Sohu Entertainment released a series of videos and photos related to Wang Feng. According to the report, on Mother’s Day, May 12, Wang Feng went out for a meal with his son, daughter Xing Xing, nanny, friends, and a noticeable long-haired woman who accompanied them throughout the outing. She was seen chatting warmly with Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi’s daughter Xing Xing.
Soon, news of “Wang Feng’s new romance! Celebrating Mother’s Day with new girlfriend and children” went viral on social media.
Some netizens commented, “It’s funny to bring another woman to celebrate Mother’s Day with your own children.” Others remarked on the striking resemblance between “Senlin Bei” and Zhang Ziyi, questioning Wang Feng’s choice in partners.
On the evening of the 14th, Wang Feng’s ex-girlfriend Ge Huijie vented her frustration on Weibo, criticizing Wang Feng for his actions: “Have you run out of inspiration to write songs? Can’t you take some responsibility for the children? How old are you and you still can’t protect your private life?”
It is worth noting that on the evening of January 8 this year, Ge Huijie addressed her previous social media posts where she mentioned the divorce between Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi. Ge Huijie clarified that she reached out to Wang Feng not for reconciliation but simply to obtain a way to contact their daughter Xixi (Little Apple).
Ge Huijie informed her followers: “I’m not looking to get back together or anything, you’re really overthinking this. And by the way, I am aware that he already has a girlfriend.”
In 2004, Ge Huijie and Wang Feng dated and had a daughter named “Little Apple”. Following their breakup, Ge Huijie exposed several negative incidents involving Wang Feng online. In 2015, Wang Feng publicly proposed to and married Zhang Ziyi, who was acclaimed as “International Zhang”. On October 23, 2023, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng jointly announced their divorce, ending their eight-year marital relationship.
While initially doubted by outsiders due to their differing levels of fame, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng not only had two children together but also publicly displayed their affection for years. Therefore, when they suddenly announced their divorce, it shocked people both domestically and internationally.
The exact reasons for their divorce were not specified by Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng in their statement, only mentioning it was an amicable separation without betrayal. However, since they decided to divorce, something must have happened between them, leading to much speculation from the public.
Following her return to single life, Zhang Ziyi immersed herself in work, appearing in films until she was unexpectedly spotted skiing in Japan last Chinese New Year with her biological children and stepdaughter Little Apple. Her graceful demeanor earned her praise as the “best stepmother” from netizens.
