**BEIJING, Feb 18** – Chinese actors Chen Xiao and Chen Yanxi, who met on the set of *The Return of the Condor Heroes* and married in 2016, have announced their divorce. Both actors posted identical statements on Weibo confirming the split, expressing gratitude for their time together and vowing to co-parent their son.

Rumors of marital discord had circulated for nearly a year, fueled by observations that the couple spent the Lunar New Year separately and Chen Xiao’s absence at Chen Yanxi’s father’s funeral. Further speculation arose from a video showing Chen Xiao appearing intoxicated after a late-night gathering. While the couple remained silent amidst the rumors, the separate location tags on their social media accounts during the holiday period, and Chen Yanxi’s absence from her father’s funeral, provided further fuel to the ongoing speculation.

The couple, who married on Chen Xiao’s birthday in 2016, have a son together. The statement concluded with a commitment to shared parental responsibilities.
