| Li Xiaolu Reveals the Truth Behind Her Divorce Timeline With Jia Nailiang. (Weibo) |
Li Xiaolu is back in the spotlight after revealing, for the first time, the actual timeline behind her divorce from Jia Nailiang, reopening one of Chinese entertainment's most talked-about stories. The actress disclosed that their marriage had legally ended on 14 March 2018, more than a year before both sides publicly confirmed the divorce in November 2019. The unexpected revelation quickly climbed trending charts, with social media once again revisiting a controversy many believed had finally faded into the background.
For years, Li Xiaolu largely avoided discussing the breakdown of her marriage in public. Now, speaking in a new interview, she explained that the lengthy silence was never about creating more mystery.

Instead, she said it was a decision made for one important reason: protecting her daughter, Tian Xin, who was still very young when the family became the centre of intense public attention.
According to Li Xiaolu, the divorce procedures were completed on 14 March 2018, while the official public announcement did not arrive until 14 November 2019, leaving a gap of around 20 months.

She suggested that delaying the announcement allowed the family to handle personal matters away from constant headlines, hoping public discussion would gradually settle rather than continue to grow louder every day.
The actress also addressed the infamous "hair appointment" reference that became one of the internet's most repeated jokes during the controversy.
Li Xiaolu insisted that the story, as it spread online, did not accurately reflect what had happened.

She said many assumptions were made without knowing the full picture and maintained that she deliberately chose not to respond publicly at the time because she wanted her daughter to grow up without being overwhelmed by endless online discussions.
Despite the end of their marriage, Li Xiaolu spoke positively about her relationship with Jia Nailiang as co-parents.
She acknowledged that his busy schedule meant he was not always physically present, but stressed that he deeply loves their daughter.

She added that both parents continue to share the same priority: giving Tian Xin a stable upbringing filled with care and support, regardless of their personal differences.

The renewed attention has also brought the original timeline back into focus.
Public scrutiny first intensified at the end of 2017, when photographs linked Li Xiaolu to rapper PG One, triggering widespread speculation.
 |
At the time, Jia Nailiang's casual comment during a livestream that his wife had gone out for a "hair appointment" unexpectedly evolved into one of the internet's most enduring catchphrases.
 |
What began as a simple explanation soon became a running joke repeated far beyond the original story.
In the months and years that followed, statements from those involved, fresh rumours and continued online speculation kept the topic alive.
Divorce rumours repeatedly resurfaced throughout 2018 and 2019, before both parties eventually released a joint statement confirming their separation.
The discussion intensified again on 30 October 2019, when an intimate video showing Li Xiaolu and PG One kissing surfaced online.
 |
Shortly afterwards, PG One acknowledged that the footage had been recorded in 2018 and stated that he and Li Xiaolu "had feelings for each other" at the time.
The clip reignited widespread public discussion surrounding their relationship and became another major turning point in the long-running controversy surrounding Li Xiaolu's marriage to Jia Nailiang.
On 3 November 2019, Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang signed their divorce agreement, formally bringing their marriage to a close. Just over a week later, on 14 November 2019, their respective studios issued a joint statement confirming the divorce to the public, ending months of speculation and officially announcing that the former couple had chosen to part ways while continuing to prioritise their daughter through co-parenting.

Looking back, Li Xiaolu's latest interview suggests that the legal reality behind the scenes had already changed long before the public knew about it.
Following the interview, social media quickly erupted with fresh debate. Some c-netz argued that Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang's marriage had effectively broken down long before their legal divorce, suggesting that this may explain why she later developed feelings for PG One.
 |
They argued that the timeline disclosed in the interview does not change the fact that allegations about her relationship with PG One had already emerged before 14 March 2018, leaving opinion firmly divided once again.
Supporters praised Li Xiaolu for finally speaking openly after years of remaining silent, believing her explanation reflects a mother's effort to shield her child from relentless public attention.
