Overseasidol.com — On the evening of August 19, Chinese actress Mao Xiaotong officially denied rumors linking her to actor Chen Xiao.
In a firm statement, her studio declared, “Fake! Ms. Mao Xiaotong is unmarried and single! Not together, never together!,”.
With three repeated “Fake” claims and five exclamation marks, the response instantly silenced the trending topic about their alleged marriage.
The rumor began on August 18, when an anonymous forum post suggested that a celebrity couple was preparing to marry, with one party “not being their first marriage”.
Because Chen Xiao is divorced and had previously worked with Mao Xiaotong in “The Romance of the Condor Heroes” and “The Ingenious One”, netizens quickly speculated it was them.
Soon, details like “secretly registered marriage” and “wedding preparations” circulated online, even without any concrete evidence.
Things escalated further when a bizarre claim spread, alleging Chen Xiao had an affair with Mao Xiaotong.
Netizens found the story ridiculous, especially since Chen Xiao’s wedding groomsman was Chen Xiang, Mao Xiaotong’s ex-boyfriend.
