The debate was reignited this week as Li Chen uploaded photos of him at the musical The Pillowman on Weibo.

This went on for hours until the production company stepped forward to clarify that Li Chen watched the musical on August 2, while Bingbing popped by a day after. Netizens, however, are still not convinced and speculated that this is all an elaborate cover-up.

While it is not known when Bingbing and Li Chen started dating, they got engaged in September 2017 and announced their breakup on June 27 this year.
