On January 23, Chinese outlet 163 reported that Weibo was buzzing with claims that Angelababy is secretly dating singer and music producer Quan Zhe.

According to an alleged fan account, Angelababy and Quan Zhe were spotted going out together in public, prompting netizens to dig into the singer’s background. Quan Zhe, born in 1981, is eight years older than Angelababy and has maintained a relatively low‑profile career compared to the A‑list actress. Chinese media further claimed that Quan Zhe is married to a foreign woman and has three children, with family photos frequently appearing on his personal social media accounts. This revelation fueled speculation that Angelababy may be romantically involved with a married man.

This is not the first time Angelababy and Quan Zhe have been linked. Back in 2023, the two were rumored to have gone clubbing together and were reportedly seen on a skiing trip in Jilin, China. At the time, Angelababy’s fan community strongly opposed any romantic connection between the actress and Quan Zhe, expressing concern over his marital status. Now, with the rumors resurfacing, online opinion is sharply divided. Some netizens believe the relationship is inappropriate, while others argue the two may simply be close colleagues within the entertainment industry. As of now, Angelababy has not issued any response to the renewed speculation.

Since her divorce from Huang Xiaoming in 2022, Angelababy’s love life has remained a topic of intense public interest. While her ex‑husband has openly moved on, reportedly dating several women and even welcoming a daughter with model Ye Ke, Angelababy has kept a much lower profile, focusing on raising her son, Xiao Hai Mian, and attempting to rebuild her career.

Once considered a leading “post‑85” actress in Chinese showbiz, Angelababy’s career took a dramatic downturn following controversy in 2023 related to her attendance at Lisa’s Crazy Horse show in France. The aftermath reportedly led to an unofficial industry freeze, with her disappearing from major events, television appearances, and social media for months.

Although she has spent nearly two years trying to make a comeback, industry insiders note that Angelababy has struggled to regain her former standing. Chinese media have even commented pessimistically on her prospects, suggesting that her golden era may be over. Currently, she is said to be attending casting calls like lesser‑known actors and accepting smaller commercial endorsements to stay active in the industry.
