What are the allegations against Tian Xu Ning? Dating and child controversy explained as ‘Revenged Love’ star announces legal action

Tian Xu Ning’s career faced a setback following an incident on July 4, 2025, involving a confrontation during a commercial flight. The Revenged Love actor, who debuted in 2020, was shouted at by fellow passengers, who hurled remarks like (as reported via Koreaboo),

“Tell your girlfriend to stop appearing in the public,” and, “Is the kid really yours?”

The incident followed growing speculation online that Tian was secretly married and had a child. Huace Jingji, a subsidiary of Huace Media and Tian’s representation, addressed the rumors shortly after. In a formal statement shared via Drama Panda, they stated:

“Relax, Tian Xuning is unmarried and childless,” dismissing the circulating claims.

However, the controversy deepened on July 8 when actress Teng Ze Wen, who starred opposite Tian Xu Ning in the 2024 series The Silent Wife, uploaded screenshots of an alleged private conversation.

According to Drama Panda, the messages (dated June 2024) appeared to show Tian allegedly calling her “wifey.” Teng deleted the post shortly after, but not before it went viral. She stated that she believed Tian was single when their relationship began after filming wrapped in May 2024.

Producer Yu Zheng, who also manages Teng, remarked on the issue via social media. He confirmed that Teng and Tian dated in 2024 but condemned her decision to disclose private matters online. Yu noted that her actions risked "damaging her own career" and even suggested she consider leaving the company.

The Revenged Love actor has also been reportedly tied to two women. The one named Susu, reportedly his former long-term partner until 2023, and another called Ruoruo.
