The rumour mill is spinning hard again, and this time it’s one of C-drama fandom’s most talked-about pairings. Bai Jingting and Song Yi, once praised as the real-life extension of their Destined romance, are now reportedly going their separate ways. What began as a quiet shift in public appearances has suddenly turned into a full-blown online discussion, dominating Weibo’s trending list overnight.
According to well-known paparazzi Liu Dachui, the pair have already broken up. The claim surfaced today January 26, and immediately shot to second place on Weibo’s hot search rankings. Adding fuel to the discussion, another trending hashtag pointing out that the two never officially confirmed their relationship also climbed the charts, leaving fans split between disbelief and reluctant acceptance.
The two actors first sparked dating rumours after working together on Destined, with paparazzi photos allegedly showing them meeting each other’s parents and spending time together outside work.
Their shared trips, low-key holidays, and comfortable interactions during drama promotions once made them one of the most convincing off-screen couples in recent years.
However, signs of change have been quietly stacking up since mid-2025.
Last August, Song Yi reportedly removed social media posts related to questions about marriage, with several entertainment accounts noting that she appeared to be shifting focus fully back to her career.
Since then, fans noticed that Bai Jingting and Song Yi stopped appearing together entirely, despite paparazzi attempts to track their movements.
Liu Dachui’s statement was blunt and left little room for romantic speculation.
He claimed that even when both had free time, they no longer made any effort to meet.
His comment that “actions speak louder than words” quickly circulated online, convincing many netizens that the relationship had already ended long before the news became public.
Further observations from fans added to the breakup narrative.

Song Yi was seen promoting her latest drama alongside Cheng Lei, and viewers felt her interactions were noticeably different from her past on-stage chemistry with Bai Jingting.
Some fans even pointed out that Song Yi has unfollowed Bai Jingting on social media, a move often seen by netizens as a quiet but telling signal.
What stood out most was timing.
The pair reportedly spent the New Year apart and have not been photographed in the same frame for over six months.
For many observers, that absence says more than any official statement ever could.
Fan and netizen reactions have been sharply divided. CP fans expressed heartbreak, calling the pairing one of their “unfinished stories” and admitting that Destined now feels more bittersweet in hindsight.
Others responded with understanding, saying adult relationships naturally change and that neither side owes the public an explanation.
There were also voices urging fans to respect privacy and focus on the actors’ upcoming projects rather than their personal lives.
As of now, neither Bai Jingting nor Song Yi’s teams have issued any response.
But in an industry where even casual outings can make headlines, prolonged silence often speaks volumes.
For many netizens, the lack of joint appearances and public interaction has already become the clearest answer.
What do you think? Was this breakup inevitable, or are fans reading too much into the signs?
