Li Qing is rumored to be in a relationship after being spotted meeting a woman late at night, walking her dog and chatting closely

Another celebrity dating rumor is making waves—this time involving rising actor Li Qing, who gained popularity through the hit drama Zhu Yu. On April 23, entertainment blogger Liu Dachui released footage alleging that Li Qing may be in a relationship, showing him spending the night at a woman’s residence.

According to the report, Li Qing was seen heading to a residential complex after a dinner with friends on April 22, where he met a woman waiting for him. The two appeared comfortable together, even walking her dog side by side while chatting. The late-night outing lasted until around 1 a.m., after which they entered the residence together. Paparazzi reportedly waited until the next morning without seeing him leave. He was later spotted heading to work wearing the same outfit from the night before.

This aligns with Liu Dachui’s earlier teaser, hinting that a popular on-screen couple from Zhu Yu might face a “bad ending” due to the male lead’s alleged secret relationship—fueling speculation that now points to Li Qing.

Public reaction has been divided. Some fans worry that the timing could affect his rising career and weaken the popularity of his on-screen pairing with co-star Yu Zhongli. Others argue that as an actor—not an idol—he has every right to a private love life, even praising his down-to-earth behavior. Meanwhile, more cautious voices highlight the lack of concrete evidence and urge against jumping to conclusions.

As of now, neither Li Qing nor his agency has issued a statement. Whether this is a genuine relationship or an overinterpreted situation remains uncertain.
