LayarHijau – Chinese actor Zhou Qi has come under public scrutiny after paparazzi photos showed him sharing intimate moments with actress Xiang Hanzhi, including hugging and spending the night together. Amid the dating rumors, Zhou Qi has also been accused of maintaining another relationship with a female influencer named Si Xiaodi, sparking widespread speculation about alleged infidelity.
Zhou Qi rose to prominence through the 2019 drama A Love for Dilemma. Over the past two years, his career has continued to gain momentum with appearances in major productions such as Legend of Zang Hai alongside Xiao Zhan and The Vendetta of An starring Cheng Yi. Recently, however, attention has shifted away from his acting work to focus on his personal life.
The rumors began on December 17, 2025, when Xiang Hanzhi was photographed pulling a suitcase into Zhou Qi’s residence. The following day, the two attended the Sohu Fashion Awards together before joining friends for a late-night gathering. After the event ended in the early hours, Zhou Qi was seen carrying Xiang Hanzhi’s bag as they returned to his home. Paparazzi also captured the pair hugging at the entrance before going inside, fueling speculation that they were in a relationship and possibly living together.

The situation escalated further on January 3, 2026, when influencer Si Xiaodi shared screenshots of a private chat with Zhou Qi dated December 19, 2025. In the conversation, Zhou Qi allegedly invited her to meet, only to be questioned about why he was reaching out while supposedly being involved with Xiang Hanzhi. The timing of the messages closely followed the paparazzi photos, leading many netizens to question whether Zhou Qi had been seeing two women at the same time.
In response, Zhou Qi’s studio released an official statement denying any cheating or inappropriate behavior and rejecting Si Xiaodi’s claims. However, the statement did not address Zhou Qi’s rumored relationship with Xiang Hanzhi, a silence that some online observers interpreted as ambiguous.
Xiang Hanzhi also drew significant attention following the controversy. Some fans urged her to distance herself from Zhou Qi. She later posted a photo on Weibo accompanied only by emojis of a handbag and a running figure, without any caption. The post was widely interpreted by netizens as a symbolic sign of “leaving with a bag,” suggesting a possible breakup.
On January 5, 2026, Xiang Hanzhi’s agency issued a clarification regarding her relationship status. The agency stated that she is currently single and fully focused on work, writing, “Single, working on tight schedules.”
Previously, Xiang Hanzhi had been linked in rumors with actors such as Wu Lei and Wang Xingyue. She had also faced criticism over her acting skills before gaining more positive recognition for her role as the female doctor Bai Yimei in Legend of the Magnate. As a result, the emergence of another romance-related controversy at a time when her career was showing improvement has left many fans expressing disappointment and concern.
