Chinese celebrity Fan Bingbing, who was embroiled in a tax scandal in 2018, parted ways with fellow actor Li Chen, whom she was once engaged to five years ago. Recently, rumors emerged that Li Chen has upgraded his relationship with actress Yang Ying, also known as Angelababy, from friends to lovers. Although neither party has publicly confirmed these speculations, Fan Bingbing posted on Weibo a photo of a sentimental item from her past relationship with Li Chen, sparking speculation that the two might reconcile.
On social media, there were reports circulating about Li Chen posting that “10 years of friendship has transformed into deep love”, leading to suspicions from various quarters that he might have transitioned from being friends to lovers with Angelababy, his co-star on the show “Keep Running.” However, upon checking Li Chen’s social media accounts, no such post was found, and both parties have not confirmed the relationship rumors. Some netizens questioned whether the so-called post was merely a publicity stunt for the struggling variety show “Keep Running” in which they both appear.
In fact, when Li Chen was romantically linked with Fan Bingbing in 2014, it caused a sensation, with discussions of marriage at one point. However, their relationship eventually ended in a breakup. On the other hand, Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming announced the end of their seven-year marriage in January 2022, with Angelababy only leaving a message on Weibo saying, “Grateful for everything in the past; the future remains family.” Afterward, there was no further interaction between the two.
While “Li Chen Yang Ying” and “Li Chen Yang Ying relationship” became hot search keywords, Fan Bingbing later posted a photo on Weibo featuring flowers, a beautiful frame, and a heart-shaped stone, with the caption “Goodnight, in ordinary days,” followed by three heart emojis.
After Fan Bingbing’s post and the exposure of the photo, it stirred up a frenzy among netizens, with many wondering about the significance of the heart-shaped stone and even speculating that she and Li Chen might have reconciled. This stone holds sentimental value as Li Chen used a heart-shaped stone in the past to confess his feelings to Fan Bingbing, making it a symbol of their relationship.
