In a lengthy statement, she firmly denied any romantic involvement, clarifying that they are simply friends.
Li Jiajie also explained a viral screenshot showing a WeChat contact nickname that sparked speculation.
She said the unusual contact name was the result of a “truth or dare” game and that she had forgotten to change it back. According to her, the situation was purely coincidental and unfortunate.
Regarding rumors that the two spent New Year’s Eve together or traveled as a couple, Li clarified that she celebrated the holiday in Hangzhou with close female friends.

Addressing her comment about “not dating male actors,” Li emphasized that it reflects her current personal preference rather than prejudice against any profession.
She urged the public not to misinterpret her statement.
