Every move made by Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran has recently come under intense public scrutiny.
On the morning of March 16, entertainment fans across Asia were thrown into a frenzy when sudden rumors emerged that the two major Chinese stars were preparing to get married. The speculation began with an anonymous post on Douban claiming: “A post-90s Best Actress and a post-95s film actor have already set a wedding date and will announce it publicly on an auspicious day.”
Soon after the post appeared, media outlets and netizens quickly turned their attention to Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran. The reason was simple: the two celebrities had previously been linked by dating rumors, and their profiles surprisingly matched the clues described in the anonymous message.
As of now, neither Zhou Dongyu nor Liu Haoran has made an official statement regarding the marriage rumors currently spreading widely on social media.
The sudden wedding speculation has shocked many fans, especially because for nearly two years the public believed the pair had already broken up. The rumors of a split began when the two stars appeared distant and did not interact with each other while attending promotional events. Their silence regarding the breakup rumors further convinced many people that their relationship had ended. Therefore, news that the pair might actually be preparing for marriage has caught many observers completely off guard.
Dating rumors between Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran first gained traction in early 2022 after the two collaborated on several projects. In September of that year, Chinese outlet Sina published a video showing the pair playing tennis together before returning to Liu Haoran’s home. However, about a year later, speculation about a breakup emerged when the two appeared cold toward each other during a film promotion event.
By mid-2025, breakup rumors resurfaced once more when both stars visited the same studio for photoshoots but did not interact at all. The lack of visible contact fueled speculation that the relationship had quietly ended.
However, new photos released by the media this morning showed Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran wearing matching outfits, along with the sudden emergence of marriage rumors. This led some netizens to speculate that the pair may have intentionally avoided interacting publicly in order to keep their relationship private.
Born in 1992, Zhou Dongyu has built an impressive career in Chinese cinema. She won the Golden Horse Awards in 2016 and later received both the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2020 thanks to a series of acclaimed film performances. She is often described as the youngest “Triple Crown” Best Actress in Chinese film history.
Meanwhile, Liu Haoran is five years younger than Zhou Dongyu and rose to fame across Asia through the beloved youth drama With You. In recent years, he has focused heavily on film projects and successfully joined the ranks of Chinese actors whose movies have surpassed 10 billion yuan in total box office revenue.
