Chinese actress Qin Lan and actor Wei Daxun have been spotted together by the Chinese paparazzi, likely confirming rumours that they are dating.
A member of the Chinese paparazzi posted on Weibo on Thursday (Dec 15) a video clip of the couple holidaying together at the Chinese resort city of Sanya in Hainan province, with both of them in matching shirts and Qin holding Wei’s hand.
The Chinese media also noticed that Qin and Wei have stated in their Weibo accounts that they are in Hainan.
The rumour began earlier this week when a Chinese media outlet said an actor whose surname begins with W and an actress whose surname begins with Q are dating.
It said that both actors are from north-east China, and that the actress is older than the actor. It added that the actor has previously dated older actresses whose surnames began with M and Y.
Chinese netizens began to speculate that the couple are Qin, 43, and Wei, 33, who recently starred in the medical drama Dr Tang (2022). The TV series wrapped up production in August 2021.
Wei has reportedly dated actress Ma Su, 41, and Yang Mi, 36, though all parties did not confirm or deny the relationships.
Both Qin and Wei have so far not commented on the reports.
