Chen Yanxi and Chen Xiao confirmed their divorce on the 18th. The two sparked romance through the drama "The Condor Heroes" and got married in 2016. They have a son together. Since paparazzi exposed Chen Xiao's desire for divorce in 2024, their marriage reportedly broke down as early as 2023. At that time, they hadn't appeared together for half a year, with the last joint appearance being at Chen Yanxi's birthday party in May 2023.
Chen Yanxi and Chen Xiao were once said to have had relationship issues as early as 2023. Their last public appearance was at Chen Yanxi's birthday party in May 2023, where the family of three celebrated happily. Chen Yanxi wore a pink long-sleeved dress with her hair tied in a high ponytail and was holding a knife with her husband and son to cut the cake. However, eagle-eyed netizens pointed out that in the photos, Chen Xiao's focus was entirely on his son, with seemingly little interaction with his wife.
Big Difference Before and After Marriage
Previously on the variety show "Not Yet Married 2", Chen Yanxi was asked if there was any change in Chen Xiao before and after marriage. She responded immediately, "The difference is huge." Chen Yanxi revealed that Chen Xiao was very romantic before marriage, often secretly visiting her on set. On her birthdays, he would lay rose petals in her room and arrange balloons. "But after marriage, I never received any birthday gifts again."
However, Chen Yanxi also added at the time that she held the financial reins at home, guessing that her husband might have thought she could buy whatever she liked, so he didn’t give gifts like before. Chen Yanxi also came up with a coping strategy, "If I really like a particular artist, I'd find some artworks in the style I like, and let him choose one, pretending he chose a gift."
