Many celebrities shared photos with their mothers on social media to celebrate Mother’s Day. Mainland Chinese actor Feng Shaofeng also posted on Weibo on May 11th, wishing all mothers a happy Mother’s Day, accompanied by three heart emojis and three roses. Some netizens speculate that Feng Shaofeng’s post may be a message to his ex-wife Zhao Liying, expressing hopes for a reunion as a family of three, sparking discussions.
Feng Shaofeng and Zhao Liying previously starred together in the movie “The Monkey King: The Land of Beauty” and the TV drama “The Story of Minglan”. The two stars, who developed a relationship on set, revealed their marriage certificate on Zhao Liying’s 31st birthday in 2018, and their son “Xiang Xiang” was born the following year, forming a family of three. However, in April 2021, the couple suddenly announced their divorce, shocking the public. Although their marriage only lasted for three years, their relationship has always been a topic of public interest.
Post-divorce, Feng and Zhao have maintained an amicable relationship, often seen together taking their son out for meals, being seen as an example of a “good separation” by the public. More often than not, they each take care of their son individually. For instance, last year, Zhao Liying shared her travel record on Douyin, capturing moments from her exploration of an old street, including delicious food along the way and scenic views. In a flash, a photo of her and her son was caught in the video.
Recently, Feng Shaofeng was spotted attending his son’s school sports day. Throughout the event, wearing a black hat and a mask, Feng accompanied his son in a white T-shirt, assisting him with getting medals and allowing him to rest on his lap when tired. His fatherly love was evident, with even the paparazzi applauding him as a super dad.
Sharp-eyed netizens noticed that the 5-year-old “Xiang Xiang” bears a striking resemblance to his mother, Zhao Liying, from his round face to his small mouth and even his expressions. Since Zhao Liying’s divorce, she has been focused on her career, and her recent collaboration with Lin Gengxin in the drama “Love and Destiny” has received both critical acclaim and high viewership, setting a new benchmark for the genre of xianxia dramas. Therefore, when Feng Shaofeng posted on Weibo wishing all mothers a happy Mother’s Day with three heart emojis and three roses, speculations arose about a possible reconciliation with Zhao Liying. However, some believe that his post was merely a courtesy gesture in respect to all mothers, without any deeper meaning attached.
