According to Chinese outlet 163 on July 5, Michelle Chen was spotted at an airport with her son, affectionately known as Little Star. The mother and son kept things casual in matching sporty outfits, showing their support for Argentina’s national football team during the FIFA World Cup season.
Having stayed largely out of the public eye for years, Little Star surprised fans with his impressive height and mature appearance. Despite being only nine years old, he already stands above his mother’s shoulders. Wearing a relaxed outfit paired with stylish sunglasses, the youngster exuded confidence and charisma that many compared to a professional child model.
His fair complexion and refined facial features also drew widespread praise online, with many commenting that he has inherited the best features from both of his parents and even resembles a mixed-race child.
Some netizens went even further, claiming that Little Star now looks even more handsome than his father, Chen Xiao. Reporters from 163 predicted that he could easily become one of the most handsome celebrity children in the Chinese entertainment industry as he grows older.
The rare airport appearance quickly became a trending topic, with many noting that the spotlight shifted entirely from Michelle Chen to her rapidly growing son.
Since her divorce from Chen Xiao, Michelle Chen has significantly reduced her entertainment activities. Instead, she has focused on business ventures while dedicating more time to raising Little Star. The actress frequently shares glimpses of a quieter lifestyle, including traveling, reading, and enjoying outdoor activities with her son. Many fans have viewed this slower-paced life as part of her healing journey following the end of her marriage.
Although their family is no longer together, Michelle Chen has remained the primary caregiver, providing a stable and loving environment for Little Star as he grows up.
Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen first met while starring as Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü in the hit 2014 television adaptation of The Romance of the Condor Heroes. Chen Xiao later revealed that he had secretly admired Michelle Chen during filming and pursued her after production wrapped. In 2015, he even commissioned a sculpture of Xiaolongnü as part of his marriage proposal. The couple married in Beijing in July 2016 and welcomed their son just six months later.
Their fairytale romance, however, ultimately came to an end. According to veteran paparazzo Zhuo Wei, Chen Xiao reportedly moved out after requesting a divorce, packed all of his belongings, and cut off communication with Michelle Chen. He allegedly lived separately from his wife for about a year before their divorce was finalized.
The report further claimed that during that period, Chen Xiao did not meet with his son, though these claims remain based on media reports and have not been officially confirmed by the parties involved. Following the divorce, Little Star has continued to live primarily with Michelle Chen.
As the young boy’s rare public appearance continues to capture attention, many fans are already predicting a bright future for the celebrity child, whose striking visuals have become one of the hottest talking points online.
