Overseasidol.com — Chinese singer Li Jiage has sparked major online discussion after seemingly announcing her new relationship through a post shared on her private WeChat Moments.
The photo shows her and a young man leaning closely toward each other under a warm sunset, creating a romantic mood that quickly propelled the topic into trending lists.
The man’s social media account also contains several sweet interactions, including pictures of the couple’s silhouettes at the beach, snapshots of them holding hands during a park stroll, and aesthetic photos of Li believed to be taken by him.
These posts further fueled speculation that the two are officially dating.
What caught even more attention is that Li Jiage’s new boyfriend is reportedly only 26 years old nine years younger than the singer, who was born in 1990.
Many netizens praised the young man as “tall and handsome,” with some joking that he is “far better than the ex-husband”.
The age-gap romance even prompted online comments describing her as “a confident queen living her best life”.
Despite the wave of support, the relationship has also stirred controversy.
Li finalized her divorce from Che Che between May and July this year, and the reveal of a new relationship only about five months later led some to question whether things were moving too fast.
Che Che himself previously responded to fans online, twice stating that he “does not regret the divorce”, comments that already attracted considerable discussion at the time.
Supporters of Li Jiage argue that she is simply rebuilding her life with clarity and independence.
Following the divorce, she purchased a new home, took on full parenting responsibilities, and continued focusing on her music career and family life.
For them, her new romance represents courage and a fresh start.
On the other hand, critics suggest that the quick transition into another relationship may imply preexisting cracks in the marriage or express concerns about her stability in choosing partners.
