In late October, Chinese outlets published photos of Gillian Chung and Huangfu Shenghua walking hand in hand. Dressed casually and modestly, the two appeared close and affectionate. While the couple has not publicly confirmed their relationship, sources suggest they have been together for nearly two years.
As interest in their romance grows, many netizens have turned their attention to Huangfu Shenghua’s background. Though biologically female, her masculine features and cool, androgynous style have sparked online comparisons to Edison Chen the actor involved in a notorious scandal with Chung back in 2008. Some even describe her as a “female Edison Chen.”
Born in 1989 and originally from Shanghai, Huangfu Shenghua was an early internet celebrity. She is now the founder and CEO of fashion brand Samay, and reportedly comes from a wealthy family involved in residential and commercial real estate. She studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing before pursuing an Executive MBA at Peking University and continuing her education in the United States.
Huangfu Shenghua maintains close friendships with various celebrities, including Myolie Wu and Angelababy. Her personality and appearance are often described as both masculine and aloof, contrasting sharply with Gillian Chung’s more feminine demeanor.
Their relationship has become more visible since 2023, with the pair spotted kissing on the street, spending Valentine’s Day together, and even wearing matching jewelry while traveling to places like Phuket and the UAE. On social media, Gillian Chung has posted couple photos and birthday wishes for Huangfu Shenghua, even setting a picture of the two as her phone wallpaper.
Gillian Chung, a singer and actress best known as a member of the pop duo Twins, faced immense personal and professional fallout in 2008 after an intimate video with Edison Chen was leaked. In 2018, she married Taiwanese doctor Michael Lai in a ceremony held in the U.S., followed by a second wedding in Hong Kong. However, the couple shocked the public with their divorce in May 2022. Since then, Chung has openly expressed her disillusionment with love and marriage.
Now, with a new companion by her side, fans are once again watching Gillian Chung’s love life unfold — this time with more curiosity than controversy.
