Bai Lu and Zhou Yiran have suddenly become the center of explosive dating rumors after paparazzi photos allegedly captured the two stars spending time together privately.
According to Chinese outlet 163, the rumors began spreading rapidly on May 18 after photos surfaced showing Bai Lu and Zhou Yiran arriving at the same restaurant before later leaving separately. Reports claimed Zhou Yiran even arranged transportation for Bai Lu to return home safely following the meal.
The controversy escalated further after paparazzi allegedly spotted Zhou Yiran later heading toward the same apartment complex where Bai Lu currently lives. The situation immediately triggered widespread speculation online, with the topic quickly climbing to the No.1 spot on Weibo’s entertainment hot search rankings.
As discussions intensified, both celebrities’ studios released nearly simultaneous statements strongly denying the romance rumors.
Bai Lu’s agency stated: “It was simply a normal gathering between friends. All other rumors are false.”
The actress’ side additionally emphasized that Bai Lu is currently single and urged the public to view the situation rationally.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yiran’s studio also firmly denied the dating allegations, explaining that the two stars are merely close friends who had dinner together. The actor’s team likewise confirmed that he is not currently dating anyone.
The renewed attention surrounding Bai Lu’s love life has also reignited old discussions regarding her rumored past relationship with Zhang Linghe. The pair previously sparked major dating speculation after starring together in Story of Kunning Palace, with fans pointing to matching couple items and affectionate behind-the-scenes interactions as evidence of a relationship.
Although neither actor publicly confirmed the romance, many fans believed the two were genuinely dating at the height of the rumors. Reports later claimed producer Yu Zheng allegedly pressured the pair to separate in order to protect their careers and maintain flexibility for future on-screen pairings.
At the same time, Zhou Yiran’s past controversies have also resurfaced amid the dating scandal. Chinese netizens revisited old accusations involving the actor’s idol trainee days, including claims of unprofessional behavior, conflicts with former group members, and smoking controversies during his teenage years.
Despite the heated online debates, both Bai Lu and Zhou Yiran continue to maintain that their relationship is strictly platonic. Still, the situation has quickly become one of the most heavily discussed celebrity rumors currently dominating Chinese entertainment news.
