| Was Cai Xukun’s Weibo Dating Rumour Real? Who is his new girlfriend? |
Chinese social media went wild this week when a trending topic popped up on Weibo declaring “Cai Xukun has admitted to dating.”
The phrase quickly climbed the hot search rankings, sending fans and casual onlookers alike into a frenzy.
Some thought the singer was finally ready to go public with his love life. Others were more sceptical, pointing out that it seemed too abrupt and suspiciously out of nowhere.
Digging deeper, it soon became clear that there was no actual statement, post, or interview from Cai Xukun himself. Neither his personal accounts nor his team had released anything about a relationship.
Industry watchers suggest the so-called “confession” was nothing more than a manufactured trending topic, likely pushed by detractors looking to stir up controversy.
Cai Xukun isn’t your typical Chinese idol when it comes to career choices.

While many of his peers juggle acting gigs and endless variety show appearances, he’s stuck firmly to music and live tours.
This path means his career depends heavily on his fanbase – their support at concerts, their purchases of digital releases, their loyalty online.
In such a setup, going public with a romance is considered a risky move, potentially alienating die-hard supporters.
That’s why the idea that he’d suddenly “admit” to dating via a random Weibo trend just doesn’t add up.
The fake trending topic did, however, give rise to plenty of comments.
-
Some netizens mocked the absurdity of it all, calling the rumour “too fake to believe.”
-
Others criticised the people behind the trend, saying it was unfair and damaging to throw an artist under the bus without evidence.
-
Loyal fans made their stance clear: they’ll only believe relationship news if it comes directly from Cai Xukun or his official agency.

As one sceptical user put it: “If Cai Xukun really was dating, do you think he’d just blurt it out through a Weibo hot search? No way.”
In the Chinese entertainment scene, controlling image is everything. Many idols avoid love-life talk altogether, precisely to maintain the illusion of closeness with their fanbase.
Cai Kunkun isn’t the first to be hit with baseless dating chatter, and he definitely won’t be the last.
For now, the “Cai Xukun dating confession” looks like a case study in how easily hot searches can be manipulated – and how quickly rumours can spread before the truth catches up.
Until Cai Xukun himself speaks up, this so-called romance remains nothing but an internet mirage.
