63-year-old actress Zhong Zhilin was recently rumored to be in a May-December romance with Johan, a model 35 years her junior. According to reports, the pair met this May at a fabric exhibition in Guangzhou and quickly began dating, with the rumors sparking heated discussion. As the topic trended on Weibo, Zhong Zhilin personally responded on the 6th.
It was said online that Zhong Zhilin was selecting fabrics for her own sleepwear brand when she met Johan, and that the two bonded after just seven minutes of conversation before beginning a relationship a few days later. There were even claims that the male model's agent had admitted to the romance as early as May 7. Because of the 35-year age gap and the fact that Zhong Zhilin's assets are worth over 2.38 billion TWD (around 300 million MYR), and she lives in a luxury home in Hong Kong's Mid-Levels, rumors prompted many to question the male model's motives.
In response, the previously silent Zhong Zhilin finally stepped forward on the 6th to address the matter. On Weibo, she wrote: “Thank you everyone for your concern about my recent situation. The rumors about my relationship online are not true. Thank you all for your concern.” She denied the supposed romance.
