Recently, the couple Qin Hao and Eno Ye traveled to Paris, France. They were seen holding hands while strolling the streets and visiting museums. Qin Hao was dressed in casual pink attire, holding hands with Eno Ye, displaying an affectionate and enviable appearance. However, observant netizens noted that Qin Hao looked rounder compared to his previous lean figure, jokingly referring to him as “fat Gong Biao” (a character from the TV series “The Long Season”). The topic of “Qin Hao gaining weight again” quickly trended.
On July 18th, Eno Ye sweetly responded to the topic of “Qin Hao regaining weight” on social media, mentioning that due to not having a family outing for a long time, they indulged a bit during their recent trip to London, enjoying delicious food resulting in some “happy fat.” She further revealed, “During our trip to Europe with Teacher Qin this time, both of us indulged in happiness fat. Happiness fat is something rare in our world, so let us indulge this time.”
Eno Ye explained that in the past few years, Qin Hao had been busy filming during summer vacations. Going out together for leisure was a luxury. However, this summer, they both set aside work and finally managed to have a family trip with their daughter. They didn’t rush to visit attractions or follow a fixed route, but simply wanted to relax and accompany their daughter. They ate whatever they wanted, following their daughter’s choices, such as pizza, pasta, and ice cream. Eno Ye humorously added, “No restrictions this time; when we return, we can follow the carbon cycle or Qin Hao’s method to lose weight!”
Many netizens teased Qin Hao about his protruding belly, with some speculating that he might be preparing for a role that requires weight gain. This reminded many of Qin Hao’s weight loss journey during the filming of the popular series “The Long Season.”
According to Chinese media reports, during the filming of the web series “The Long Season,” Qin Hao gained weight to portray the character “Gong Biao,” who suffered from diabetes and weighed over 160 pounds. Subsequently, while filming the TV series “Harbin 1944,” he successfully shed 20 pounds in 14 days after director Zhang Li remarked, “There were no fat people in China in 1944.”
Following this, searches for “Qin Hao’s weight loss recipe” surged. However, Qin Hao mentioned in an interview that he didn’t want to share weight loss methods anymore as they might easily be misinterpreted. He emphasized that rapid weight loss was only necessary for actors due to specific requirements and urged everyone to focus on healthy weight loss, stating that such methods were tailored for those in the acting industry.
It is common for actors to gain or lose weight for their roles. The public should understand that actors do not always live in their characters and have the right to return to their normal lives. Eno Ye previously disclosed that Qin Hao is a food enthusiast, and perhaps his weight gain is simply a natural result of enjoying life.
At the age of 57, after ending her nine-year marriage with Taiwanese artist Harlem Yu in 2009, Eno Ye and the nine-year younger mainland Chinese actor Qin Hao found their respective happiness. They got married in 2015 and have a daughter named “Xiao Millet.”
Earlier reports indicated that since the beginning of 2025, there were frequent changes in the ownership of the six companies under Eno Ye’s name, leading to speculation in the entertainment industry about the couple’s relationship and even rumors of their separation.
On April 5, Eno Ye addressed the rumors of marital issues with Qin Hao during a live broadcast, clarifying, “I’ve never said anything about living separate lives. It’s just people creating rumors from thin air.” Her tone carried a hint of frustration.
Eno Ye further explained that she and Qin Hao had not separated but were working together for the family’s future. She stated, “We currently don’t have a house because back then, we were unsure whether we should live in Beijing or Taipei, and the location of our child’s school was undecided.” This statement aimed to clarify their current life situation.
On May 19, Eno Ye posted photos celebrating Qin Hao’s birthday, writing, “Our emotions have been subject to various rumors lately, but we know that speaking too much is futile. From the time we met until now, there have been many voices, but as you once said—‘I’m living with you, not with the world.’ There’s no need to explain our lives to others.” This response addressed external rumors once again.
