There have been allegations circulating recently about Michelle Chen’s eight-year marriage to Chen Xiao disintegrating. According to paparazzi, in 2023 her husband moved out, changed his phone number, and filed for divorce. Despite circulating speculations since June 19, neither party has answered. Michelle Chen appears to be ignoring the rumors with her recent social media posts as she concentrates on marketing her new drama, which is currently in production.
In their modern romance series “Butterfly Sniper,” (狙击褴褶), the 41-year-old actress and her 22-year-old co-star, Daniel Zhou Keyu, uploaded a couple of images together and tagged each other on social media. In a little video, Michelle Chen plays Zhou Keyu, jokingly saying, “Li Wu (his character), call me jie jie (older sister).” The recent on-screen coupling has generated talk, especially because of their striking height disparity—Zhou Keyu is over 6 feet tall (188 cm) while Michelle is only 160 cm—as well as their 19-year age difference. However, the plot fits their relationship perfectly because it’s based on a romance book written by Qi Bao Su (縃宝酥) that has an older woman and a younger man in it.
Not only has Michelle Chen’s alleged divorce from Chen Xiao been a subject of gossip for years, but Internet users have also taken sides despite the couple’s silence. Some even claim that the excitement is a ploy to get attention for her next drama. Whatever the case, the actress seems unperturbed and eager to resume her career.
