Wang Ou did a live broadcast yesterday, and one sentence made the hot search explode.
She said, I am single, and being single means being comfortable and calm, and not needing to worry about anyone.
This was said very simply, without any foreshadowing. But with this sentence, all the true and false romance rumors about her in the past four or five years, as well as the speculation about secret marriage and having children, were all brought to everyone's attention. The contrast was so huge that people were stunned.
You know, before this, she basically kept silent about feelings.
So why did you take the initiative to say it this time?
Let’s look at those things before. Starting from 2021, Wang Ou and He Jiuhua of Deyun Club have been photographed. Not once or twice, but many times. In 2022, there is a picture of walking together with arms around shoulders. In 2023, he was photographed entering the hotel front and back again. Even in February of this year, before the Chinese New Year, paparazzi photographed He Jiuhua staying out all night and then returning to the community where Wang Ou lived in the morning.
Doesn't this seem like the rhythm of long-term cohabitation?
What is even more unpredictable is the child. At the end of 2025, many media captured it. Wang Ou took a little girl about two years old out to play, and his movements were very affectionate. At that time, the Internet exploded, saying that this was her and He Jiuhua's child. Some even said that the two of them had quietly received the certificate in Nanning.
On the other side, He Jiuhua's attitude is also quite interesting. He has directly said that he is "unmarried" in several variety shows. This is a bit inconsistent with the scenes where he was photographed and the two of them attending a family wedding together.
So you see, Wang Ou's words "I am single" yesterday were like throwing a big stone into a calm lake.
Everyone was suddenly divided into several factions.
One faction supports her. I think it's good that she is so candid. Modern independent women define their own lives. What’s wrong with being single? Even if she does have children, single mothers can still live a good life. These people feel that in the final analysis, actors still watch their works, and there is no need to explain their private lives so clearly to the public.
The other group is full of questions. They feel that this statement is inconsistent with the "evidence chain" that you have been photographed for so many years. You said you were single, so what happened to those people you were with before? If the child is really yours, is this considered an "unmarried child" or a "divorced single parent"? Some people even speculated whether this could be the model of “removing the father and leaving the son” as mentioned on the Internet today? They felt that this statement did not explain the previous doubts clearly, but instead made people more confused.
There are also more rational people who say that the information on the Internet is too complicated and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is best to follow the official statement of the studio and don't make your own guesses.
In this matter, there is another person who cannot be avoided, and that is He Jiuhua. In 2023, He Jiuhua was photographed staying alone with a woman in a car for three hours late at night, and a cheating controversy arose at that time. But in July 2025, Wang Ou was photographed appearing low-key at He Jiuhua's drama performance, and everyone speculated whether the two had reconciled. The separation and reunification of emotions are really difficult for outsiders to see clearly.
Some people in the industry have also analyzed that Deyunshe has its own set of considerations regarding the commercial value of its actors, especially married actors, and is relatively conservative. This may also be a possible reason why He Jiuhua always claims to be "unmarried". Of course, this is just speculation.
What's interesting is that Wang Ou chose to say this at this time, as she is also making moves in her own career.
She mentioned in the live broadcast that last year she filmed six dramas in one go, including costumes, suspense, and period dramas. She played roles ranging from villains to morticians. Her studio and fans are also working hard to draw everyone's attention to her upcoming dramas, hoping that everyone will see more of her characters and works.
Looking at the whole thing, I feel quite complicated.
On the one hand, I fully understand and support Wang Ou’s right to retain privacy. She has said before that actors need to retain some privacy in order for audiences to believe in their characters. Taking the initiative to speak this time was probably a direct response to those endless prying eyes. Let me tell you, I will stop here and don’t ask about the rest.
But on the other hand, when a star chooses to expose part of his life, such as his photographed companions, or his possible family status, to the public eye, but remains silent on key issues, it is almost instinctive for the public to have questions and associations. Especially when the information seems contradictory.
So there may not be a simple right or wrong answer to this matter. It is more like a microcosm, about where the privacy boundary of a star is, about how far public curiosity can go, and about how a star draws his own line between his work and his private life.
Wang Ou tried to draw an end by saying "I am single." But this full stop may still be a question mark in the eyes of many people. Perhaps only the parties involved know the truth best. All we can see are the parts they choose for us to see.
As for whether she will continue to be questioned in the future, or whether everyone will slowly turn their attention to her works, it depends on time.
