| Song Yi’s Romantic Post with Cheng Lei and Unfollow of Bai Jingting Sparks Breakup Rumours |
Rumours around actress Song Yi and actor Bai Jingting are buzzing once more after eagle-eyed netizens spotted that Song Yi had quietly unfollowed Bai Jingting on social media.
The move instantly reignited breakup chatter about the pair, who were once at the centre of sweet romance speculation.
The two first sparked dating rumours back in 2022 while filming the hit historical romance Destined (长风渡).
Their closeness on set and multiple off-duty sightings had fans convinced they’d taken things off-screen, with some even suggesting the couple had moved in together.
Although never confirmed, the possibility of a low-key relationship remained a popular topic among drama watchers.
Song Yi, Cheng Lei, and a PR Storm

Lately, Song Yi has been in the spotlight for her latest drama Shadow Love (与晋长安), where her chemistry with co-star Cheng Lei was strong enough to trigger a new wave of gossip.
One particular clip of them looking affectionate quickly spread online, only for Song Yi to clarify that the moment was promotional footage.
Still, that didn’t stop rumours about her romance with Bai Jingting from cooling off.
Adding fuel to the fire, Song Yi and Cheng Lei staged paparazzi-style photos to push drama publicity and later released more “intimate” behind-the-scenes shots after the series finale.
While the intention seemed to be marketing, many netizens felt it was out of character for Song Yi—an actress usually known for avoiding CP hype.
The move led to questions about whether her relationship with Bai Jingting had already ended.

Bai Jingting’s Side of the Story
Meanwhile, Bai Jingting, now 31, has had his own share of speculation.
Following The First Frost (难哄) with Zhang Ruonan, his on-screen chemistry was so convincing that it sparked whispers of a budding romance.
Fans pointed out couple-style outfits and ambiguous social media posts, drawing comparisons to Song Yi’s situation.
The latest stir came when fans confirmed through verification tools that Song Yi no longer follows Bai Jingting’s account.

While a simple unfollow might not prove anything, in the world of celebrity relationships, such small digital traces often become the loudest hints.
Combined with her deleted fan comments about marriage and repeated emphasis on being “single and career-focused,” it’s no surprise that Weibo quickly lit up with breakup chatter.
Despite the mounting speculation, neither Song Yi nor Bai Jingting has issued a statement.
The pair have always kept their private lives low-key, never confirming the relationship in the first place. Still, for many fans, this unfollow is the clearest sign yet that their alleged romance may have quietly come to an end.
