Jay Chou and Hebe Tien Once in Love? Conan-level Fans Dig for Lyric Easter Eggs, Get Roasted

Published at Feb 27, 2026 05:19 pm
Recently, old rumors about Jay Chou and Hebe Tien have gone viral online, with CP (couple) fans indulging in "expired sugar" and digging up hidden hints in Jay Chou's song "White Windmill". They point out that the lyrics “sweet (Tian) sea water, complex (Fu) tears, real (Zhen) feelings” — the first character of each phrase forms Hebe Tien's Chinese name, suggesting an acrostic. Fans have also pieced together clues from around 2009, including her being the female lead in his "Retreat" MV, her naturally wiping his mouth, meaningful glances exchanged, and even overlapping trips to the UK, speculating that the two might once have shared a “more than friends, less than lovers” ambiguity. Some Conan-level netizens are absolutely convinced, noting that both are top-tier stars in the music world. Is there any truth to these romantic rumors, or is it all just overactive imaginations? The buzz has quickly gone viral online.

Another group of netizens think this whole rumor revival is just reaching. The actual lyrics put “real (Zhen) feelings” at the very beginning, so even if you join the first syllables, it should read “Zhen-Tian-Fu”, not “Tian-Fu-Zhen”. And although netizens dug up a time when Ella said Jay Chou was jealous, both parties have publicly denied rumors in the past. Hebe once said, "He never showed any special interest," while Jay Chou said, "She’s not my type." Besides, Jay Chou now has a beloved wife, Hannah Quinlivan, and they have three kids together. No matter what did or did not happen back then, does it really matter anymore?

Meanwhile, a small group of CP fans have even gone to Hannah Quinlivan's social media to stir things up. Recently, Hannah posted a photo of herself confidently riding a horse, leaving a "white windmill" fading into the distance—a powerful image. Netizens jokingly commented, “That’s our big sister-in-law for you—she gets it! The white windmill can only be seen from afar now.”, “The past is like smoke, you’re long gone, and the white windmill still stands in the same place.”, “Nice pic—did someone give you tips?”
