Rumors ferment for half a month with no response! Li Xiaoran and Xu Jianing were exposed to have been separated for two years, and their career trajectory is gradually drifting away

Jiuzhi Network News On July 15, rumors of divorce between actor Li Xiaoran and her husband Xu Jianing once again hit the hot list on social platforms. More than ten days have passed since the news was first exposed. As of press time, neither studio on both sides had issued any rebuttal or confirmation statements. The silence throughout the entire process had instead continued to escalate public opinion discussions, and the number of readings on related topics had exceeded 800 million.
The incident originated when an entertainment blogger broke the news at the beginning of the month, saying that the two had gone through divorce procedures in November 2025 in a low-key manner, ending their marriage of nearly eight years. Before that, they had separated for two years and always chose to keep it secret in order to avoid affecting the careers of both parties. The revelations also point to two core reasons: first, the two have been together for a long time, and the gap in career development has gradually widened; second, there are differences in fertility concepts, and years of Dink status has become a trigger for conflict.
After the rumors grew, a large number of netizens began to review the two men's public trajectory in recent years. In recent years, Li Xiaoran's drama contracts have been stable and have starred in many popular online dramas. Her career is in a period of continuous rise and she almost never mentions marriage and family in public; Xu Jianing is deeply involved in behind-the-scenes production, and her public activities have no intersection with Li Xiaoran. According to statistics from netizens, the two people have not had any interaction on their social accounts for more than three years. The last time they made the same frame public dates back to internal industry activities in 2023.
As a result, the public opinion field presents obvious polarization. Some netizens believe that when faced with false rumors, celebrities usually quickly send a lawyer's letter to refute the rumors, and not responding for more than ten days is basically equivalent to "acquiescence"; some netizens hold a different view, pointing out that Li Xiaoran has always kept a low profile in her private life and was not married back then. High-profile official propaganda, not responding does not mean that rumors are confirmed, but they are unwilling to put their private life under public scrutiny.
Some industry public relations sources have analyzed that it is the norm in the industry for middle-aged and powerful actors to choose to "treat marriage rumors coldly"-they will neither amplify the popularity of the topic by refuting the rumors, nor will they proactively admit to triggering more discussions, until the topic cools down naturally. Especially for artists who are waiting to broadcast their work, avoiding personal affairs affecting the reputation of the work is the first choice. As of now, the two sides have not made any official statement on the rumors of marriage change.
