Chinese entertainment circles are currently in turmoil following viral clips and allegations involving businessman Yang Zi, beauty queen Li Xuanzhi and actress Huang Shengyi. According to reports circulating on platforms such as Weibo and covered by Sohu, Yang Zi is accused of having an extramarital affair with Li Xuanzhi during his marriage to Huang Shengyi, as well as claims that the two share a son born in 2025.
Paparazzi footage purportedly shows Yang Zi accompanying Li Xuanzhi and a baby to a postpartum care center in April 2025. Notably, the baby is said to have been born just three months after Yang Zi finalized her divorce from Huang Shengyi, raising widespread speculation about the timeline of their relationship.
The controversy attracted even more attention due to the reported personal connection between the two women. Li Xuanzhi was said to be close to Huang Shengyi and was even brought into Yang Zi’s company as an assistant to support his live streaming business. What began as a professional opportunity has now been framed by netizens as a betrayal, with accusations that the young beauty queen used her position to get closer to the CEO.
The first signs of problems in Huang Shengyi’s marriage had already emerged. The couple had reportedly been separated since 2022, and in 2024, Huang Shengyi appeared on the reality show Goodbye lover in an attempt to save the relationship. During the program, Yang Zi was seen making late-night phone calls to Li Xuanzhi even while the cameras were rolling, fueling suspicions of infidelity at the time.
Following the latest allegations, public reaction has been intense. Many netizens criticized both Yang Zi and Li Xuanzhi, pointing out the significant age difference and questioning the ethics of the relationship. Others expressed sympathy for Huang Shengyi, who had previously tried to repair his marriage despite ongoing problems.
At the same time, some online rumors have revisited Huang Shengyi’s controversial past, pointing out that his relationship with Yang Zi reportedly began while he was still married to his first wife. This has led to divided opinion, with debates over karma and responsibility re-emerging alongside the current scandal.
At this time, none of the parties involved have released an official statement addressing the latest claims. With public interest continuing to grow and new details emerging online, this controversy is quickly becoming one of the most talked about scandals in Chinese entertainment this year.
