Chinese entertainment is once again buzzing with dating rumors involving Zhang Linghe and Bai Lu after a well-known paparazzi made a surprising claim during a recent livestream.
Entertainment reporter Liu Dachui alleged that, based on long-term surveillance, Zhang Linghe has had an extremely simple dating history since debut—“only dating Bai Lu.” The statement quickly went viral, igniting heated debate across social media. However, the lack of concrete evidence such as photos or videos has led many netizens to question the credibility of the claim.
According to the paparazzi, he had followed Zhang Linghe even before the actor rose to fame and during the rumored period of his relationship with Bai Lu. He insisted that aside from work-related schedules, Zhang was never seen privately meeting other women. “Before and after he became popular, we never saw him with any other girls,” he claimed, emphasizing the actor’s clean personal life.
Despite the bold statement, both sides have previously denied any romantic involvement. In October 2024, Bai Lu’s studio officially released a statement clarifying that “Bai Lu is single,” while Zhang Linghe has never publicly confirmed any relationship.
Interestingly, past public interactions between the two stars are now being re-examined. At the 2026 Weibo Night event, Bai Lu reportedly turned away immediately upon noticing Zhang Linghe approaching, while he avoided eye contact and walked past. In earlier appearances, Bai Lu was even caught rolling her eyes during the same event, sparking speculation about tension between them.
The duo previously worked together on Story of Kunning Palace, and their on-screen chemistry had once fueled dating rumors. Some netizens now argue that their later attempts to distance themselves seem “too deliberate,” interpreting it as possible proof of a past relationship.
However, a larger portion of the public remains skeptical. Many criticized the timing of the rumor, noting that it surfaced just as Zhang Linghe’s latest drama Zhu Yu is gaining massive attention. Critics argue the claim may be a tactic to generate buzz and traffic rather than a verified revelation.
Bai Lu’s fans, in particular, have expressed frustration, stating that the actress has repeatedly clarified her relationship status and should not continue to be used in ongoing speculation.
As the debate continues, the situation highlights a familiar pattern in the Chinese entertainment industry—where rumors, timing, and public perception often intertwine, leaving fans to decide what to believe.
