In the Chinese entertainment industry, when it comes to the most successful and famous generation of actresses, no one has surpassed the so-called “post-85” stars (born after 1985), including names like Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Angelababy, and Ni Ni. However, despite their glittering careers, many of these top beauties have faced turbulent love lives.

Aside from Liu Yifei and Ni Ni, who remain unmarried, at least three stars of this generation Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Angelababy have gone through divorces in recent years. According to top entertainment blogger Liu Dachui, the number has now reportedly risen to five, with the once fairy-tale marriages of Tang Yan and Liu Shishi to A-list actors also said to have fallen apart.

On social media, many netizens believe that if the beloved “reel-to-real” couples Tang Yan – Luo Jin and Liu Shishi – Nicky Wu have truly divorced, then the idea of “romantic drama love stories” may no longer exist. With so many post-85 actresses ending up divorced after marriage, public opinion has grown uneasy, with some even speculating about a so-called “curse” surrounding this generation of top stars.

Tang Yan – Luo Jin

According to insider information obtained by Liu Dachui, Tang Yan and Luo Jin have cut off contact, no longer share joint business ties, and are living separately. Due to ongoing advertising contracts, the couple has not publicly announced their split and is reportedly handling divorce procedures and asset division in private. They are also said to have attempted to downplay rumors by appearing together at Disneyland with their daughter whenever divorce speculation surfaces, allowing others to capture and spread those images instead of issuing direct denials.

According to 163 News, signs of distance between the two have been evident for years, with Tang Yan primarily living in Shanghai to care for their child, while Luo Jin frequently films far from home and rarely reunites with his family. Over the past year, the couple has shown no interaction on social media, stopped celebrating each other’s birthdays publicly, and Luo Jin has not promoted or supported Tang Yan’s new projects.

In a July 2025 interview, Tang Yan spoke about living independently, shifting her language from “hoping to be with my husband” to emphasizing being an “independent woman,” which many interpreted as a hint at their separation. She also denied rumors of a second pregnancy and stated she had no plans for more children.

The reported cause of their breakup stems from Luo Jin allegedly neglecting family responsibilities, leaving Tang Yan to shoulder childcare and household duties alone. This burden limited her ability to maintain a high level of professional activity, leading to a decline in her career visibility.

Additionally, Tang Yan was said to be unable to accept rumors of Luo Jin’s alleged affair with an assistant. Back in 2020, Chinese media released photos suggesting overly intimate behavior between Luo Jin and a female assistant on set, further fueling speculation. Despite recent reports that divorce papers have been filed, the couple has remained silent without any official response.

Tang Yan and Luo Jin were once one of the most beloved celebrity couples, known for their low-profile lifestyle and strong on-screen chemistry. They co-starred in several dramas such as A Beauty in Troubled Times (2012), Agent X (2013), Diamond Lover (2015), The Princess Weiyoung (2016), and The Way We Were (2018).

They went public with their relationship in 2016 and received widespread support. Luo Jin was often seen as the man who healed Tang Yan after her painful breakup with Roy Chiu, which had reportedly left her emotionally devastated. The couple married in a fairy-tale wedding in 2018 at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, Austria, and welcomed their first daughter two years later.

Liu Shishi – Nicky Wu

Following Tang Yan, Liu Shishi’s marriage is also rumored to have ended. In May 2025, industry sources claimed the couple had finalized their divorce in court and reached an agreement to divide assets worth 800 million yuan.

Signs of trouble had been visible for years. Since 2019, Liu Shishi and Nicky Wu have had no social media interaction, stopped celebrating birthdays or anniversaries publicly, and Liu Shishi has frequently been seen without her wedding ring.

By late 2024, the couple had clearly separated financially, shutting down their jointly established company. In February 2025, Liu Shishi transferred her 5% stake in Jiangsu Xizi Investment Co., worth tens of millions of yuan, to Nicky Wu, sparking widespread speculation online that they were dividing assets ahead of divorce.

The breakdown of their relationship is believed to stem from Liu Shishi’s long-standing dissatisfaction with her husband’s family interfering in financial matters, along with suspicions of financial exploitation. The couple also reportedly clashed over parenting issues.

Financial tensions escalated further after the COVID-19 period, when Nicky Wu’s business ventures allegedly suffered heavy losses of up to 7 billion yuan. During this time, Liu Shishi reportedly took on numerous projects to support the family financially, increasing the strain on their marriage. These accumulated conflicts ultimately pushed their relationship to an irreparable breaking point.

Nicky Wu and Liu Shishi fell in love while filming Scarlet Heart in 2011. Despite a 17-year age gap, they were widely praised as a perfect match. The couple married in a lavish ceremony in 2015 and, after nearly five years together, welcomed their first son, marking a significant milestone in their married life.
