The ever-youthful Luhan turns 34, on April 20, and his longstanding lover, 26-year-old actress Guan Xiaotong, didn’t wait to send him her best wishes. As midnight approached, she sent him a heartfelt “Happy Birthday @M湿M.” From Thailand, Luhan replied, “Got it, got it, another year older.” She has welcomed him on his special day for the past seven years running.
Guan Xiaotong and Luhan Are the Cutest Couple
Online users infer that every greeting that Guan Xiaotong sends out appears to have a special meaning. For example, she posted at 00:17 on their second year of dating, which corresponds to the year they first met, which was 2017. In a similar vein, she welcomed him at 00:30 on their third year, which represented Luhan’s 30th birthday. Another year, it was 23:31 since the singer-actor turned 31 when she was 23 years old. He may have responded at 00:19 because they started dating when she was nineteen years old.
From Film to Reality: Their Love in the Face of Public Disapproval
Looking back on their adventure, Luhan and Guan Xiaotong have surmounted many obstacles to establish themselves as a power couple in the entertainment sector. Back then, Luhan—who was most recognized for his time with the well-liked K-pop group EXO—became one of China’s biggest traffic stars. His choice to publicly pursue a relationship with Guan Xiaotong, however, was greeted with criticism, underscoring the difficulties that idols encounter in the dating world. The actress, who was seven years younger than him and had grown up in the spotlight as a child star, was also criticized.
Reel chemistry turned into a real-life relationship on the set of the sports drama “Sweet Combat,” where their love story started. Although few anticipated that their relationship would endure, Luhan and Guan Xiaotong have supported one another through the years, enduring the storms of public scrutiny and clinging to their love. They have a lot of followers these days, and they even have a couple name, Yi Lu Tong Xing, which is pronounced similarly to the popular Chinese expression, “Traveling Together Every Step of the Way.”
