It’s no secret that fans are happy about 36-year-old Chinese actor Chen Xiao’s divorce from Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen, 41.
They left messages congratulating the stars announced last month (Feb 18) that they have ended their eight-year marriage.
The ex-couple got hitched in 2016 after meeting on the set of 2014 Chinese drama The Romance Of The Condor Heroes. They have an eight-year-old son, Muchen.
Following the announcement, Chen Xiao stayed away from making any public appearances, until yesterday (Mar 3).
Fans could not help but notice how radiant he looked at an event for the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
He even started trending on Weibo, with many saying he’s “glowing” after the split.
“People are always in high spirits during joyous occasions, everything will go well henceforth for this handsome man,” said one fan while another remarked: “Divorce is the kind of best aesthetics treatment”.
Meanwhile, Michelle was recently also spotted having a meal with her friends, including Taiwanese host Kevin Tsai, and was even pictured waving happily at her pals before she left.
While the reason for their divorce was never revealed, there are rumours that Chen Xiao is now seeing Chinese actress Mao Xiaotong with whom he’s acted on four projects. It’s even said they had started dating even before the split was announced.
We wonder if that’s why he’s looking so good?
