After years of keeping a relatively low profile, Steven Sun (Sun Qi Jun) is making headlines again, and this time it is not for a new drama role or television appearance. The 38-year-old Taiwanese actor has reportedly entered a new relationship with influencer Zhizhi, who is around ten years younger than him, with local media claiming the pair have already reached the stage of meeting family members. For an actor who spent recent years rebuilding both his career and public image, the timing has certainly got people talking.
According to reports from Taiwanese entertainment outlets, the alleged couple were recently spotted together on multiple occasions in Taipei. Observers noted that Steven Sun and Zhizhi appeared unusually comfortable around each other, displaying the kind of familiarity that suggested this was not a brand-new connection.
While neither has publicly confirmed a relationship, the repeated sightings have quickly fuelled speculation across social media. The first reported sighting took place late at night on 12 May, when Steven Sun was seen shopping alongside influencer Caige, actress Liang Yi Chen, and a woman later identified as Zhizhi.

Witnesses claimed the group looked relaxed and friendly, but it was the interaction between Steven Sun and Zhizhi that reportedly stood out. Rather than looking like two people getting to know each other, they appeared more like a pair already comfortable in each other's company.
Attention grew further after another reported encounter on 15 May. Media photographs allegedly showed Zhizhi leaving Steven Sun's residence independently before returning later in the day.
The reports suggested she moved in and out of the property with ease, prompting renewed speculation that the relationship may already be quite serious. While outsiders can only guess what happens behind closed doors, the repeated visits certainly did little to quiet the rumours.
The biggest talking point, however, came later that same day. Reports claimed Zhizhi returned to the residence accompanied by a man who was later identified as her father.
The trio subsequently went out together for a meal before returning home. In entertainment news terms, few things trigger relationship speculation faster than the phrase "met the parents". Whether intentional or not, that detail immediately became the headline everyone focused on.

Adding another layer to the story is the fact that Zhizhi is not entirely outside the entertainment world herself.
The influencer has appeared in multiple television advertisements and online programmes, including popular variety content, while building a social media following of more than 120,000 followers.

Despite their respective public profiles, followers noticed that the pair have largely avoided posting each other online, maintaining a surprisingly low-key approach in an era where even breakfast can become relationship content.
For many fans, the reported romance marks a significant personal milestone for Steven Sun. Following his highly publicised split from actress Puff Kuo several years ago, the actor largely stepped away from the spotlight.
During that period, discussions surrounding his career often focused on his transition into online English teaching rather than acting projects.
His gradual return to entertainment through variety programmes, hosting opportunities and film-related work has already been viewed as something of a comeback story. The emergence of a new romance has only added another chapter.

His management team has remained cautious regarding the reports. In a brief statement, representatives thanked the public for their concern but stressed that personal relationships remain a private matter.
They also emphasised that Steven Sun is currently focused on programme hosting duties and preparations for upcoming film projects, encouraging audiences to pay attention to his future work.
Some fans have expressed support, arguing that Steven Sun appears happier and more settled than he has in years. The actor quietly went from teaching English online to apparently passing a completely different life examination.
They were particularly amused by the "meet the parents" reports, with some commenting that family introductions often generate more excitement than celebrity relationship announcements themselves.
More cautious observers pointed out that neither party has officially confirmed the romance, urging people not to turn speculation into established fact.
For now, the rumours have already sparked plenty of discussion across Taiwan's entertainment scene. Do you think Steven Sun has finally found lasting happiness, or should fans wait for official confirmation before celebrating?
