**Beijing, June 18, 2024** – Popular Chinese actors Chen Xiao and Chen Yanxi have announced their divorce after nine years of marriage. The couple released a joint statement expressing gratitude for their time together and wishing each other well. They emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their nine-year-old son, affectionately known as “Little Star.”

The announcement ends a relationship that began in 2015, when paparazzi photos revealed the pair’s romance following several dates in Shanghai and Beijing.
