Luhan announces relationship with drama co-star

Chinese singer-actor Luhan shocked many on Sunday (Oct 8) after publicly announcing his relationship with his Sweet Combat co-star Guan Xiao Tong (also known as Traey Miley). The singer introduced Xiao Tong to his fans by writing "Hello everyone, I’m introducing my girlfriend to everyone" before tagging the actress’ Weibo account.

Xiao Tong then replied with a heart emoji and posted a picture of the two of them together the same night. The couple seemed very relaxed in the snap as the actress was dressed in a simple t-shirt while covering her face and leaning on Luhan, who was in a while beanie and a matching hoodie.

Fans initially thought they were talking about their onscreen characters when the news first broke but the relationship was later confirmed by both Luhan and Xiao Tong’s agencies. The news triggered a huge spike of traffic that led to a two-hour network meltdown on Weibo. His original post has since garnered almost a million reposts, over 2.5 million comments and over 5 million likes.

Xiao Tong had previously mentioned that she wanted to give her first on-screen kiss to her boyfriend, and therefore refused to take part in any intimate scenes. She upheld her promise during the filming of Sweet Combat as she did not find a stunt double during her scenes with Luhan.

The 20-year-old’s father, Guan Shaozeng also appeared to have already approved of Luhan. The three stars are all cast members of Sweet Combat’s and Shaozeng posted a picture of the entire cast recently.

He said that it was the first time he had worked with so many people younger than him and felt “very motivated to work harder after seeing how serious they were in their work.” He added that he was “impressed at them not showing any signs of fatigue nor wanting to give up during their combat scenes, even when they had to perform multiple retakes.”

Some have wondered if the dating news is part of a publicity stunt for Sweet Combat, a coming-of-age drama where Luhan and Xiao Tong’s characters meet and fall in love while enrolled in a sports school.
