| Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong Rumour Debunked: “Not Dating, Not Married!” |
Fans, breathe easy—Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong are definitely not tying the knot. The rumours that had netizens buzzing about a secret marriage were promptly shut down by Mao Xiaotong’s studio. In no uncertain terms, the actress is single, unmarried, and has never been romantically involved with Chen Xiao.
The confusion apparently sparked from a recent anonymous tip claiming a “second-tier actor couple” was planning a wedding.

Given Chen Xiao’s past divorce and Mao Xiaotong’s unmarried status, and their collaboration in projects like The Ingenious One seasons 1 and 2 and the Yun Xiang Zhuan series, the internet jumped to conclusions.
Mao Xiaotong’s studio took to Weibo with a firm statement, using not one, not two, but three exclamation marks to leave no room for doubt:
“Fake! Mao Xiaotong is unmarried and single! Never together and never have been together!”

The timing was spot-on—on the very day the gossip surfaced, Mao Xiaotong herself responded, earning praise from netizens for what many called a “textbook celebrity debunking.” Some even joked that the clarification hit their feeds before the rumour did.
A little background: Mao Xiaotong, born 16 February 1988 in Tianjin, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and has built a steady career in film and TV.
Chen Xiao, born 5 July 1987 in Hefei, Anhui, also a Central Academy of Drama alumnus, was previously married to Chen Yanxi in 2016 before announcing their divorce in February 2025.
So, that viral clip, that one snapshot—turns out, it’s just internet speculation running wild. No wedding bells, no secret romance, just fans overthinking another celebrity pairing.
