As Peng Xiaoran left the venue, a man was seen putting his arm around her waist. The two appeared close as they made their way to a vehicle.
Peng Xiaoran then got into the same car as the man, and they reportedly left together. The footage quickly sparked speculation that the actress was in a new relationship.

Peng Xiaoran addressed the speculation on social media on August 20, confirming that she is indeed seeing someone while revealing that the man is not part of the entertainment industry.
“Thank you for your concern and blessings. Yes, we are currently getting to know each other,” Peng Xiaoran wrote.
She also asked the public to respect his privacy, noting that he is not a public figure.
“He is not in the entertainment industry, so I hope everyone can respect his privacy,” she said.
The actress also made it clear that her relationship will not take her focus away from her career. She said she will continue concentrating on her creative work and invited fans to look forward to her upcoming projects.
“I will continue to focus on my creative work. See you in my future projects!” she wrote.
Peng Xiaoran’s confirmation has largely been met with warm reactions online. Many fans and viewers sent their congratulations, saying that at 36, the actress has every right to pursue a relationship and hoping that she finds happiness in her personal life.
Some viewers also connected the news to one of Peng Xiaoran’s most memorable roles, Qu Xiaofeng in the hit historical romance drama Good Bye, My Princess (《东宫》).
Qu Xiaofeng’s love story is famously tragic, with the character never receiving the happy ending audiences might have hoped for. As a result, some viewers jokingly expressed their happiness that while Qu Xiaofeng never got her happily-ever-after on screen, Peng Xiaoran may finally be getting one in real life.
However, Peng Xiaoran has only confirmed that she and the man are currently getting to know each other. She has not revealed his identity or shared further details about their relationship.
For now, the actress appears determined to keep her personal life private while continuing to focus on her acting career and upcoming projects.
