35-year-old Chinese actor Tan Jianci was just exposed by internet personality Si Xiaodi on the 3rd, making the list of her 'top streamers she’s slept with.' Then on the 7th, rumors surfaced about him having an ambiguous relationship with 19-year-old actress Liu Yinuo, who’s still a sophomore in college. That night, he posted a video of himself with his two pet dogs, saying 'three single dogs,' to deny the romance. However, Liu Yinuo later revealed, 'We were together, but we’ve broken up.' Netizens were shocked by their 16-year age gap, digging up that Tan Jianci once said he could accept girlfriends up to 10 years younger, and that he’d never make relationships public. Liu Yinuo declared, 'I was already of age when we were dating,' and admitted she was triggered by Si Xiaodi’s exposé, which made her impulsively post her own dating records. She also defended Tan Jianci, 'He’s a good person; there was no overlap.'
Si Xiaodi posted her chat records with Tan Jianci in the early morning of the 3rd, mentioning that he left clothes at her place. The next day, Liu Yinuo flaunted a Cartier gift on Xiaohongshu, saying, 'If you knew who gave me this, you’d think I’m lucky,' and 'At least what you gave me, you didn’t give to anyone else.' On Weibo, she also posted lifestyle photos, 'The gifts you gave me, I don’t want you to give them to others.' Netizens noticed identical shirts, rugs, and platform shoes as Tan Jianci’s, and even suspected the locations to overlap, further fueling dating suspicions.
The topic shot up trending searches on the 7th. Tan Jianci responded saying he was single, but Liu Yinuo then claimed they had dated. She wrote: 'We were together before, now we’ve broken up. I just wanted to record it, didn’t expect it to blow up and go this far, causing inconvenience, harm, and trouble to everyone. I’m sorry.' ?? Netizens asked, 'So Si Xiaodi’s story is true?' Liu Yinuo replied: 'That I don’t know. I was just stimulated when I saw that trending topic, and in my emotional instability posted records from before, which caused all this escalation.'
Searching Liu Yinuo’s socials, she was already showing off Cartier gifts as early as June last year, and in December stated she was single. Some Tan Jianci fans accused her of spreading rumors. She retorted: 'The Cartier was from Tan Jianci,' and added: 'Spreading rumors can carry legal consequences. The other things from when I was with him, I haven’t posted, because I never intended to make this public and didn’t want to cause him trouble. If anyone keeps saying I’m lying, I’ll post it all.' Tan Jianci has since not responded further.
There are online rumors that Liu Yinuo was born in 2006, meaning she was only 17 when filming 'Lost You Forever 2' in 2023, causing some netizens to focus on potential ethics issues. Many fans flooded the comments and DMs, most concerned about whether she was underage. One fan messaged: 'It’s fine, sis, you dated, it’s done. But I’m more concerned whether you were underage when it happened. I’m honestly afraid.' To this, Liu Yinuo replied: 'I was not underage.'
