Xinjiang goddess Tong Liya (Yaya) and director Chen Sicheng announced their divorce in May 2021, on the auspicious date of May 20, which sounds like 'I love you' in Chinese phonetics. After seven years of marriage, they ended their relationship by tagging each other in a Weibo post and offering mutual thanks. Although Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng couldn't continue as a couple, they have maintained a friendly relationship. Tong Liya even stars in the new film 'Sheep Without a Shepherd 3', which Chen Sicheng is producing.
The film 'Sheep Without a Shepherd 3', starring Tong Liya, Xiao Yang, Duan Yihong, and Liu Yase, tells the story of a desperate father who engages in a psychological battle with a cunning kidnapper to save his abducted daughter. The story delves into human nature and the trailer has a dark style. Interestingly, Chen Sicheng serves as the producer, and although Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng couldn't stay married, they have not fallen out and don't shy away from collaborating professionally. Their reunion as a team is a major highlight of the film, earning them praise as a 'breakup role model' in the entertainment industry.
In fact, after their divorce, Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng have maintained a good relationship. They were seen taking their son 'Duoduo' on a stream tracing trip, fully participating in his growth. Chen Sicheng even posted a birthday message right on time during Tong Liya's birthday, calling her 'Duoduo's mom'. This shows that while they couldn't continue as a couple, they have stepped back to being friends but remain loving parents to their son.
