In a dramatic turn of events that has shaken Taiwanese showbiz, Show Lo has officially put an end to widespread rumors claiming he fathered two children with his long-time assistant, Xiao Xiang After days of mounting speculation, the singer voluntarily submitted to a DNA test—and the results are conclusive: he is not the biological father.
“I didn’t want these innocent children to grow up under the weight of rumors,” said Show Lo, emphasizing his desire to protect the children’s identity and well-being amid increasing public scrutiny. The move came after netizens and tabloids alleged that Xiao Xiang had secretly borne a son and daughter with the singer, despite her claiming she had sought sperm donation from overseas.
For years, both parties maintained silence while Xiao Xiang stated publicly that the children were conceived through artificial means abroad. Show Lo, meanwhile, had previously acknowledged the children only as his godchildren.
However, as online speculation escalated, the singer—best known for his role in “The Butterfly Lovers” —decided to take action. On November 26, with Xiao Xiang’s consent, he accompanied the children for genetic testing, aiming to dispel rumors once and for all.
The test results definitively proved there is no biological link between Show Lo and the children, putting a full stop to the scandal. A photo of the three leaving the testing center was widely circulated online, further fueling public interest in the unfolding drama.
This revelation comes years after the artist suffered a massive fall from grace in 2020. He was accused by his ex-girlfriend, internet celebrity Grace Chow, of leading a double life filled with infidelity and wild parties involving multiple women. That exposé led to Show Lo’s rapid cancellation in mainland China, with brands cutting ties and his TV appearances wiped from schedules. It was estimated he lost over $14 million in endorsements and projects.
Xiao Xiang, 42, has been by Show Lo’s side since 1997, playing a pivotal role in shaping his early career. Despite the rumors, she has remained fiercely private, choosing not to leverage her proximity to the singer for fame or public attention.
While the DNA results may clear Show Lo of recent accusations, they also reflect the ongoing challenges celebrities face in maintaining personal boundaries under the relentless scrutiny of public life. Many netizens are now turning their criticism toward those who propagated false information, calling for accountability for the emotional and reputational damage caused to both the children and the adults involved.
As of now, Show Lo has made no further comment on whether he plans to take legal action against those who spread the rumors.
