Overseasidol.com — On June 3, actor Eddie Peng’s studio issued an official statement for the first time, firmly denying rumors that he had rekindled a romantic relationship with Mandopop queen Jolin Tsai.
The studio clarified that these claims were unfounded and confirmed that they had hired legal counsel to take necessary action to protect Eddie’s reputation and rights.
Interestingly, the statement’s phrasing — which mentioned a desire to handle the matter “in a discreet and controlled manner” ended up fueling more speculation among the public rather than silencing it.
Mainland Chinese netizens began revisiting past online interactions between Eddie Peng and Jolin Tsai, dating as far back as 2019.
Many pointed to supposed evidence that the two stars may have been secretly back together for six years.
Among the clues a Valentine’s Day selfie Jolin posted in 2019 with the hashtag #my love, and her visit to the small town of Portree in Scotland last October coincidentally, the same town where Eddie’s film “Dog Race” had a special screening two months later.
Despite the firm denial, speculation surrounding their alleged romance only gained momentum.
Some online users even accused the situation of being a manufactured publicity stunt, suggesting that it could negatively impact Eddie Peng’s family life.
The studio responded by stating that they are pursuing legal action against those spreading false information and violating personal privacy.
