On October 15, Chinese outlet Sohu reported that social media platform Weibo was flooded with rumors that Liu Yifei might be expecting her first child. The speculation began after Liu Yifei was spotted attending a ballet performance, where side-profile photos appeared to show a slightly protruding belly. Her absence from public events and film projects in recent months only fueled rumors that she might be taking time off to quietly focus on her pregnancy.
However, not everyone is convinced. Many fans argued that the appearance was likely due to her outfit choice. During the event, Liu wore a pleated blazer with a flared hem that created extra volume around her waist. Combined with the side-angle photos, the ensemble gave the illusion of a rounder midsection than usual.
As for her recent hiatus from the entertainment scene, Sohu cited two main reasons. First, Liu Yifei has reportedly not found a suitable new script that meets her standards. Second, she has been keeping a low profile following backlash over her attitude during the prestigious Magnolia Awards earlier this year. Insiders revealed that she is expected to make her public comeback at a Vogue event on October 23.
Liu Yifei remains one of the most in-demand actresses in Chinese television, with a string of acclaimed dramas over the past five years, including A Dream of Splendor, Meet Yourself, and The Tale of Rose. Despite her success, it has now been over 600 days since she last filmed a new project. Recently, her activities have been limited to red carpet appearances, fashion shows, and film festivals.
In her personal life, Liu Yifei has only ever confirmed one relationship — with Korean actor Song Seung Hun. Over the years, she has been linked to several other celebrities, including Yu Shi, Li Xian, and Chen Xiao, even being rumored to have caused marital tension between Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen. However, Liu has consistently chosen not to comment on any of these reports.
