| From Classmates to Couple: Huang Shengyi Admits She Once Dated Jia Nailiang |
Chinese actress Huang Shengyi casually dropped a major throwback bomb—turns out, her first love back in uni days was none other than actor Jia Nailiang!
The whole thing went down on the trending variety show It’s Mom, It’s Daughter (是妈妈是女儿), where Huang was chatting with her mum and fellow guests, including host Li Ai, singer Li Jiage, and idol Cheng Xiao. The topic of first loves came up—y’know, classic telly filler—and everyone was sharing their stories. When it was Huang’s turn, she didn’t dodge the question. Nope, she smiled shyly and admitted her first love was a uni classmate... who also happens to be very well-known now.
The crowd went into detective mode straight away. With a bit of light sleuthing (and a cheeky peek at her class graduation photo), there was only one lad from her 2001 Beijing Film Academy class that fit the bill: the ever-charming Jia Nailiang. And when his name came up, Huang didn’t deny a thing. In fact, she just gave a knowing smile and said they’re still good mates and keep in touch even now. Cute, right?

But the most telling moment? When Li Ai tried confirming with just a look, Huang couldn’t help but blush and blink, setting the whole studio off in giggles and gasps. Absolutely priceless telly gold.
Apparently, the two of them got close during uni thanks to all those joint acting assignments their teachers kept throwing at them. What started as stage partners turned into something a bit more off-script—and next thing you know, they were full-on dating. Uni romance, eh? Gets you every time.
It’s the first time Huang has publicly confirmed the relationship, even though fans have speculated about it for years. Back in the day, she never admitted it, even when she rocked up at Jia Nailiang’s wedding to Li Xiaolu in 2012, looking all composed and classy. That moment raised eyebrows, but she kept mum—until now.
Now both single, the internet's obviously buzzing about whether this nostalgic confession means anything more. Are we just getting a lovely bit of closure, or is the door possibly creaking open again? Neither of them’s said anything more, but the chemistry still looks real, at least judging by her reactions.
Regardless, netizens are living for the drama-behind-the-drama and loving Huang’s honesty. It's not often celebs own up to their uni sweethearts on camera without any PR filter. And honestly? It’s refreshing.
