An actress, model, and singer is rumored to be secretly dating, and possibly living with, a fellow star.
Bai Lu and idol-actor Zhou Yiran recently became the focus of fresh dating speculation after paparazzi videos of the pair returning to the same apartment complex went viral on Chinese social media.
The rumors quickly gained momentum, pushing the topic to the top of Weibo’s trending searches within hours on May 18.
The clips, originally posted by entertainment paparazzi accounts, reportedly showed the two celebrities arriving at the airport separately before later attending a dinner gathering with mutual friends. Following the meal, Zhou was said to have arranged for his driver to take Bai Lu home. He then reportedly went elsewhere with his assistant before eventually returning to the same residential complex later that night.

Both Bai Lu’s agency and Zhou Yiran’s management have since denied the dating rumors. Zhou’s management further clarified that the actor is currently single.
The rumor circulating online is misleading. It was simply a normal gathering among friends that day and all other rumors are also untrue. The artist is currently single. We hope everyone can view this situation in a rational manner.
