LayarHijau – A young actress named Liu Yinuo has finally spoken out regarding rumors about her relationship with actor Tan Jianci, which recently sparked widespread discussion online. On January 7, Liu Yinuo publicly confirmed that she had indeed been in a romantic relationship with Tan Jianci, but that the relationship has now ended. In her statement, she wrote briefly, “We were together, and we have broken up.”
Liu Yinuo explained that her previous posts were originally meant as personal records of her daily life, without any intention of sparking public controversy. She also apologized for the discomfort, misunderstandings, and harm the situation may have caused to others.
Earlier, rumors about their relationship emerged after netizens noticed that several items used by Liu Yinuo and Tan Jianci appeared similar, which led to speculation that the two had once been romantically involved. The issue quickly spread and fueled various interpretations across social media.
In response to the circulating rumors, Tan Jianci previously shared a video of himself playing with his dogs, accompanied by the caption “three single dogs,” which was widely interpreted as a denial of the dating rumors. Shortly afterward, Tan Jianci’s studio released a brief statement, saying they would respond to speculation with facts.
The issue drew even more attention because Liu Yinuo and Tan Jianci had previously appeared in the same drama, Lost You Forever. In the series, Tan Jianci portrayed Xiang Liu, one of the key characters in the story, while Liu Yinuo appeared as the younger version of Xiao Xiaoyao. Their involvement in the same project made the dating rumors easier for the public to associate with one another.
Amid the controversy, Liu Yinuo also reaffirmed her identity as an actress who appeared in Lost You Forever and criticized those who used her name and drama stills to spread rumors and defamatory claims. She stated that she had preserved evidence related to the alleged defamation and demanded that those involved issue clarifications and apologies, otherwise she would pursue legal action.
Following her admission, Liu Yinuo’s comment section quickly filled with mixed reactions. She actively responded to questions from netizens while firmly pushing back against hostile comments from some fans. Liu Yinuo also shared screenshots of abusive private messages she received, urging those involved to stop targeting her.
The age difference between Liu Yinuo and Tan Jianci became one of the most debated topics online. Liu Yinuo emphasized that she is an adult and strongly denied allegations that Tan Jianci had been involved with a minor. She described Tan Jianci as a good person and clarified that during their relationship, there were no overlapping relationships with others.
However, the debate did not fully subside. Based on age information Liu Yinuo had previously displayed on social media, she is believed to have been born in 2006, making her around 19 years old. This sparked further discussion, as Tan Jianci is currently 36, resulting in a significant age gap that made some netizens uncomfortable.
Tan Jianci also faced renewed scrutiny due to his past comments about acceptable age differences in relationships. He had previously stated that he could accept an age gap of up to 10 years, while this relationship was perceived to exceed that range. Still, some netizens pointed out that he had also said adulthood was the key condition, regardless of age difference.
Another controversy arose when Liu Yinuo confirmed that several gifts, including jewelry and outfits that had drawn public attention, were indeed given to her by Tan Jianci. This statement sparked further debate, including sarcastic remarks from netizens about endorsement ethics and criticism of fans who continued to pressure Liu Yinuo to deny the relationship.
Beyond the dating issue, on January 8 Liu Yinuo announced that she had begun collecting evidence regarding multiple online posts she considered defamatory across various platforms. She stated that she was willing to take full legal responsibility for her own statements. However, this announcement also reignited public discussion due to its connection to a previous defamation dispute involving actor Liu Qi He, in which a court had ruled that Liu Yinuo infringed upon reputational rights and ordered her to issue a public apology and pay compensation.
As of now, the controversy surrounding Liu Yinuo and Tan Jianci continues to unfold. Liu Yinuo’s admission has at least provided clarity regarding their relationship, while also highlighting how celebrity dating rumors can escalate into broader debates involving reputation, age, and public responsibility.
