On January 23, according to Sohu, blogger Jiang Xiaoyan caused a stir on social media by releasing a clip showing Liu Yifei dining with staff after finishing work. Notably, Jiang Xiaoyan revealed that the midnight gathering included a mysterious man alongside Liu Yifei’s close staff. This man, tall and handsome, drove an expensive Ferrari. The late-night meal with Liu Yifei, the mysterious man, and her team lasted three hours, wrapping up early the next morning.

Jiang Xiaoyan quickly speculated that Liu Yifei might be dating the man in the video. The man appeared to have a close relationship with the actress’s team. He even brought a gift, presumably for Liu Yifei, when he arrived at the dinner.

However, once the images were shared online, Liu Yifei’s fans quickly identified the man as photographer Liu Jianan. Fans insisted that Liu Yifei and Liu Jianan do not have a romantic relationship, emphasizing that their meeting was purely professional as longtime colleagues.

In 2021, Liu Yifei was also rumored to be involved with Liu Jianan after the two were seen in photos taken at the same locations and striking similar poses. This led to speculation that Liu Jianan was the secret boyfriend of Liu Yifei. However, Liu Jianan’s close friend and manager denied the rumors, stating, “That’s fabricated information. There is no romantic relationship between them. Liu Jianan and Liu Yifei are merely longtime collaborators in the industry.”

Since her debut in showbiz, the media has linked Liu Yifei to several stars, including Hu Ge, Jimmy Lin, and Wang Leehom. However, the only relationship she publicly confirmed was with Korean actor Song Seung Hun. The two developed a real-life romance after co-starring in “The Third Way of Love.” In 2018, Song Seung Hun announced their breakup after three years of dating.

Recently, rumors have circulated that Liu Yifei is dating actor Li Xian, her co-star in “Meet Yourself.” At the end of 2024, the two caused a buzz by appearing together at the birthday party of host Li Xiang’s daughter. Despite the dating rumors, neither has addressed the speculation.
