According to one of China’s top paparazzi insiders, actress Dilraba Dilmurat and her rumored partner, actor Chen Feiyu, born in 2000, have allegedly been quietly dating for more than a year and a half.
In recent days, rumors surrounding the relationship between Dilraba and rising actor Chen Feiyu have sparked heated discussion across Chinese entertainment circles. Fans and netizens have pointed to several alleged clues, including matching accessories and repeated instances where the two stars appeared to wear similar clothing or fashion items. Internet users also discovered an account on the shopping platform Dewu/Poizon that frequently purchased products identical to those owned by the Xinjiang-born actress. Coincidentally, the account’s purchase history reportedly included many items previously seen on Chen Feiyu. After dating rumors between the two soared to the No.1 trending topic on Weibo, the account reportedly disappeared without explanation.
On June 12, paparazzi source Baixiaosheng claimed that Dilraba and Chen Feiyu had secretly been dating for approximately a year and a half. The actor, born in 2000, was described as being deeply devoted to the actress. Reports further alleged that Chen Feiyu relocated from Beijing to Shanghai in order to stay closer to Dilraba. During a period of heightened tensions in the Middle East earlier this year, when the actress was reportedly stranded in Dubai due to logistical complications involving her management team, Chen Feiyu was allegedly closely monitoring updates regarding her situation online.
However, Baixiaosheng also claimed that actress Chen Hong, Chen Feiyu’s mother, was furious over her son allegedly leaving home to follow Dilraba. According to the rumors, Chen Hong disapproved of the relationship and repeatedly pressured her son to end things and focus on his career instead. Despite the reported objections, Chen Feiyu allegedly continued seeing the actress. Some online claims even suggested that his mother restricted access to several of his bank cards, resulting in him being unable to buy expensive gifts for his rumored girlfriend.
Dilraba and Chen Feiyu starred together in the historical drama Love beyond the Grave, which premiered in early 2026. Initially, audiences criticized the pairing, citing an eight-year age gap and concerns over whether their visuals suited each other. However, after the drama aired, many viewers praised the chemistry between the two actors.
During promotional activities, Chen Feiyu was frequently seen standing close to Dilraba. On one television program, he even stirred online discussion after what many interpreted as a public confession. Following a performance of “Señorita,” Dilraba reportedly shyly asked, “I heard you like me?” to which Chen Feiyu replied, “It’s not just something you heard — I really do like you.”
As of now, neither Dilraba nor Chen Feiyu has publicly commented on the dating rumors, despite related keywords continuing to dominate Weibo hot searches. Many netizens believe that if the two are truly dating, they could become one of the most visually striking celebrity couples in Chinese entertainment.
Born in 1992, Dilraba Dilmurat is regarded as one of the leading actresses among China’s post-90s generation. She has gained widespread recognition for her striking beauty, elegant image, and star quality. Often dubbed one of the new generation’s “red carpet queens,” she is known for consistently making headlines with standout fashion moments. Recently, Dilraba ranked ninth in IMDb users’ list of the world’s most beautiful actresses of 2026.
Regarding her personal life, Dilraba had previously been linked to actor Johnny Huang following their collaboration in Love Designer in 2020. Over the years, the pair became the subject of persistent dating and even childbirth rumors. However, on January 14, 2025, blogger Liu Dachui claimed the two had already gone their separate ways. A month later, footage allegedly surfaced showing Huang vacationing on Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island with an unidentified woman.
Born in 2000, Chen Feiyu comes from one of China’s most influential entertainment families. His father is acclaimed director Chen Kaige, who won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for Farewell My Concubine. His grandfather, Chen Huaiai, was a director and professor at the Beijing Film Academy, while his grandmother, Liu Yanchi, worked as a screenwriter.
Chen Feiyu’s mother, actress Chen Hong, was widely celebrated during the late 1970s and early 1980s as one of the most beautiful actresses in China. She was even among the few Chinese actresses to sign with a South Korean entertainment agency. According to Forbes, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong’s combined assets were estimated at around 300 million yuan in 2010.
In terms of personal controversies, Chen Feiyu previously faced a major scandal in 2023 after his ex-girlfriend, influencer Yilin, allegedly leaked private photos. The incident significantly damaged his image and reportedly derailed his trajectory as one of Chinese entertainment’s most promising rising male stars.
