Huo Qishan and Naran have been spotted together in Italy alongside the Ho family, and the timing has sent relationship rumours into overdrive. The sighting happened during Ho Zhenting’s Milan trip tied to the 2026 Winter Olympics schedule and his 80th birthday celebration, turning what was meant to be a family occasion into headline material.
According to eyewitness accounts, the pair were seen queueing at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. There were no dramatic gestures or headline-making displays, but they walked closely side by side, chatting naturally. Naran wore a long grey coat with her sunglasses pushed up onto her hair, seemingly relaxed and unguarded.
Huo Qishan kept things low-key in a practical outfit with a backpack, walking just behind her at times.
Observers also noticed him speaking warmly with Namfon, wife of Ho Qiren, a detail many interpreted as a sign that Naran may already be comfortable within the Ho family circle.

This is not the first time their names have been linked. Rumours first gained traction in November 2025, when Naran was reportedly present at Ho Qiren’s lavish wedding in Lijiang.
During the ceremony, she was seated in the core family section alongside Ho Zhenting and Zhu Lingling. At one point during the toast, Huo Qishan stood at the front while a woman believed to be Naran was positioned directly behind him.
That seating arrangement alone was enough to set social media buzzing.
Since then, netizens have been quietly tracking their movements, from alleged overseas trips to Naran’s appearances at more private Ho family gatherings.
For many online observers, her repeated presence at key family events suggests something more meaningful than a casual friendship or business partnership.

Speaking of business, the two also share professional ties. Huo Qishan and Naran co-founded an entertainment company, with him holding a 51 percent stake and her 49 percent.
The company is currently developing a fantasy film inspired by Liao Zhai, also known as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, with Naran reportedly being considered for the leading role. In an industry where business and personal lives often overlap, their collaboration has only added fuel to speculation.
Interestingly, on February 17, Naran posted on Weibo with an IP address showing Beijing, despite reports placing her in Italy at the time.
This detail sparked debate online, with many suggesting the post was likely handled by her team while she was abroad, a fairly common practice for celebrities travelling overseas.
The couple’s age gap has also become a talking point. Huo Qishan was born in May 1983, while Naran was born in April 1997, marking a 14-year difference.
Online discussions have ranged from neutral curiosity to full support, with many fans commenting that they appear relaxed, well-matched and comfortable in each other’s company.
Huo Qishan’s past relationships have long been a subject of media attention. He was previously linked to high-profile figures, and over the years various rumours have surfaced, though he has largely kept his personal life private.

Naran, meanwhile, gained international recognition for her portrayal of Su Daji in the Creation of the Gods film trilogy. The Russian-born actress, who once developed her career in Hong Kong, has also faced her fair share of dating speculation in the past.
Fans and netizens are divided. Some believe the Italy sighting, combined with earlier wedding appearances, practically confirms the relationship. Others argue that without an official statement, it remains speculation.
A portion of fans have expressed support, praising Naran’s elegance and noting how naturally she seems to blend into the family setting. Meanwhile, sceptics caution against reading too much into public appearances.
As of now, neither side has issued a formal response. But with overseas family trips, business partnerships and repeated joint appearances stacking up, many believe this story may be edging towards a more serious chapter. Do you think this is just coincidence, or are we witnessing the soft launch of a major society romance?
