Since his breakup with ex girlfriend Zheng Shuang at the end of 2019, Zhang Heng has pretty much disappeared from the public eye. Today however, the actress’ ex bf and former manager is back in the spotlight when he resurfaced to defend himself against rumours of him committing fraud, scamming people out of their money and fleeing to the US with the funds… except the inadvertent bombshell he dropped with his defense opened the door to more questions about his situation … and Zheng Shuang’s potential involvement in it!
In his statement, Zhang Heng finally speaks up to defend his side of the story, saying that he no longer wanted to “bury his head in the sand because it is not only me who faced all of this, but also my beloved family.” Zhang Heng adds that the accusations against him are all rumours. “I swear I have never done these things! I won’t do these things either! I am indeed in the United States, but the reason why my family and I remained in the US for more than a year is because we must take care and protect two young and innocent lives.”
More than his clarification, it was actually his reference of having to care for and protect “two young and innocent lives” that had many people abuzz. After all, there had never been any mention of him having kids in the past, either when he and Zheng Shuang were still dating or even after breaking up, so who are these children he was referring to? In separate discussions, it is reported that the actor confirmed the two children with him in the photograph are indeed his own. He also revealed that both children are a year and a month old already.
Doing the math, it’s clear why some Netizens are intrigued that the children’s ages coincide with the time of the couple’s break up in December of 2019. Could it be that the couple broke up over the news of his kids? Then there are also those speculating that Zheng Shuang is likely to be the mother of the two via a surrogate.
When word about the two children first got out, media supposedly contacted one of Zhang Heng’s friends who confirmed he is indeed taking care of two children in the US and that allegedly, because Zheng Shuang did not cooperate with the legal procedures, the children could not return to China legally. That also means Zhang Heng couldn’t come home either because he had to take care of the kids.
Even more surprising, Zhang Heng’s alleged friend also provided media with copies of the children’s birth certificates which indicate the name of Shuang ZHENG (aged 28) as the mother, giving further credence to the speculation. And if that wasn’t messy enough, the information Netizens dug up about the dissolution hearing between Zheng Shuang and Zhang Heng and its scheduled March 22, 2021 court date is yet another nail in the coffin. A dissolution of marriage indicates the pair are divorcing, which means they had to have been married in the first place to be able to do so.
Nano
Messy is and understatement….
jiminie
Just wondering for the birth certificates, shouldn’t the names of the parents be their legal names… since Zheng Shuang is only her stage name… but either way, this whole situation is so messy and trending all over Chinese social media
Xena
Is the sudden rumor Zhao Liying & Feng Shao Feng divorce because child did not match his blood type also going on high because of this rumor?
HL
Really? Such a rumor is flying around. Goodness, so messy. I hope the innocent are not sudjected to hash and untruth words…
Chic
Please do not believe such malicious rumor. Zhao Liying studio have already made a statement.
HL
I read Zhang Heng even had recorded audio of the conversations with the female’s parents….
If this story is true…and Zheng Shuang abandoned her children, even if they are born thru surrogation, she can kiss her career goodbye.
Sunny
Those poor babies – and her poor ex-husband too! What a total mess. I believe this must be true because there is not a person in the world who wouldn’t respond to deny IMMEDIATELY when accused of something as awful as this.
ZS is always in some type of mess but this is too much now when innocent children are suffering because of her selfishness. She gets away with a lot over the years because she acts cute and dumb, fans shield her and her parents and agency act as enablers because she brings in money but I have thought for a long time there is something wrong with her mentally and she needs a psychiatric evaluation. She is crazy and exhibits a lot of sociopath and narcissistic traits.

With so-called ‘friends’ like these who needs enemies?. I’m always skeptical about articles which quote a friend as it’s source. Whether she’s guilty or not of having a messy divorce and abandoning her kids, splashing that news in tabloids is doing no one, not even those innocent kids a favor and will probably haunt those kids as they grow up. These things should be resolved privately, smh.
Haha
Well it’s obviously the husband is revealing them as his last attempt to keep his children.
Do some more reading on weibo or twitter would help to make a better judgement
Sunny
Agree with @Haha. The husband has kept this quiet for a year whilst trying to get her to give permission for them to come back to China with their father and to their paternal family. ZS side have been slandering him for a long time and the husband is less rich and less powerful so the only way he can get his side across and pressure her to allow THEIR children to return to China with their father is to expose ZS and her parent’s despicable behaviour towards this kids. This wasn’t some oopsie accidental pregnancy. This was a planned surrogacy with two planned pregnancies and two innocent lives involved. Whether she likes it or not or finds it inconvenient, she has to take responsibility.
faith
give up her parental rights should be enough. it seem she doesn’t even want the kids to step into China soil until they at the legal age.
Seriously
Lmao … those “certificate of birth” are fake, mostly a mistake by a foreigner. Anyone living in the US know a Birth Certificate issued after birth of a child.
Responding to an Idiot
You are an idiot. The official birth certificate given by the government is “Certificate of Birth” because there is no such legal document called “Birth Certificate.” Hospitals often would provide a paper document called “Birth Certificate” or “Certificate of Birth” as an informal document. But the hospital issued document is not recognized as an official legal document. The official one carries government seal and signature.
Seriously
Lol okay fucktard, here in the US where those supposed “Certificate of Birth” are supposed to been issued we issue only Birth Certificates look it up dumbass. They are certified at the lical county clerk offices. Shut it.
Yup
Ugh..Seriously you are wrong. The official name of the “birth certificate” is Certification of Birth, we just called it by the nickname birth certificate. I had to look at my daughter’s to make sure…so.. Respond to an Idiot is correct.
PolarBear
ZS being the mother of the two kids are most likely true since she is not denying this.
Margo
All of this seems dubious to me. How some random person can have access to the birth certificate? Is it normal to show these documents to the media?
My 2 cents
Birth cretics yes, death certificates are public records.
dont have kids
This is all turning into a he said, she said situation. It’s kinda funny, yet sorta sad. Well, either way, either one side is a complete piece of shit, or maybe they’re both pieces of shit. Personally, I think revealing you have kids with someone who’s already broken up with you and probably wants to keep this news out of the public’s eyes is a bit shady. And saying you want to give your newborn children up for adoption is also pretty shady… But honestly, I’m kind of a bit more on Zheng Shuang’s side for this. Anyone can say they want to give up their children for adoption if they don’t really want their kid. But it’s not like she went out and said it in public. Clearly, someone on Zhang Heng’s side has been planning this for a while to have been recording that. What does it matter if someone says they want to abandon or abort their kids in the privacy of their home? Fuck the children, adults have their own lives too. As long as they don’t actually do it, why does it even matter to anyone else? Oh right, because she’s an actress, whose career hangs onto this sort of stuff. Her Prada endorsement has already been canceled. Doubt she’ll get any big movies or dramas or anything from now on. Overall, what Zhang Heng did is incredibly shady. What Zheng Shuang said is pretty shady. But what Zhang Heng did is even more shady in my eyes. “Innocent children” my arse. What good is this media circus for them? God, the more I read, the more I’m annoyed by this guy. He just so happens to be in the US when the surrogacy scandal comes out, just so happens to be away from any persecution by the Chinese government for it.
God Will Strike Ass Hoes
You were once a child. I wonder who raised you. Did your parents torture you badly that you don’t know how to care for anyone else?
Or did they raise you too well that you are too bratty, you don’t know a tiny little bit about suffering at all in this world so you are that ignorant?
Fuck the adult CHOOSING to have children. Abortion is evil. But adoption is even more evil, who knows if a children will be abused in foster home.
Why don’t you go try a foster home first and then come back to speak when you’re qualified to speak?
You don’t have to be a kid to be in foster home to understand, I hope you get struck by lightening and doesn’t die, turn disabled for life, and must be dependent on care takers that could take advantage of you.
How’d you like that hah?
When you try that, and you love it, then you will be allowed to say it’s the children’s fault.
Children are helpless beings, only devils like you will take advantage of them being weak.
The adults who didn’t want children and got them by accident, and adults that planned but later regret, they should never been born.
Does children have the ability to choose to be born? NO IT’S THE FUCKING ADULT..
Does children have the ability to choose their own lives? NO IT’S THE FUCKING ADULT.
Children are innocent no matter how assy the parents are.
dont make stupid decisions
I hope you don’t have kids. lol Your reply is so stupid, your basically saying fuck the children, adults have their own lives so why do you care so much about this story? Fuck your opinion. It should be about the kids because they are kids who shouldn’t be caught up in this shitty situation in the first place. There is no saying one is more shady then the other, if ZS was such a goddess she should have stood her ground and taken responsibility as a mother and announced proudly she has become a mother instead of hiding it. Of course, many girls look up to her as an idol so her stupid decisions will be the cause of her dissolving career. Dishonestly is how you lose.
PolarBear
They are both shady. Who knows what is on ZH’s agenda for exposing this ? Money ? Tarnish ZS’ reputation ? Trying to out of the lawsuit between him and ZS ? He’s trying to force her to sign paperwork for the kids to get their passports so they can return to China ?
Laila
If you read the conversation between both parties and listen to the audio, you’ll understand and know how messed up ZS’s side is. The things they said are so disturbing. I’m disgusted at how nasty their family is. I don’t blame ZH’s side for bringing this to light. Some people need to be taught a lesson. She is no longer young. She’s just reckless. At least ZH wants to keep the children and raise it, not abandon them like ZS family. The man is just desperate to bring his children back to China. ZS barely gives a crap about both the kids and situation. She doesn’t have to raise and keep them but at least cooperate. If you read her response to the whole issue, she is trying to play victim. Besides, you can literally get a copy of a certificate of birth for a mere $26-27. They all look like this. I have one myself.
YY
How can anyone defend her at this point? She and her parents are completely selfish and evil to abandon the babies and not take responsibility at all. Even if she didn’t want them, she can cooperate with her ex for their well being – help them get their passport so that they can come back to China with her ex etc. But it seems she’s so evil that she is not cooperating and doesn’t care what happens to them. She’s on tape clearing saying she wanted them to be aborted or put up for adoption! Karma come for her quickly please.
YingYing
The surrogate part is where its raising red flags. On one hand she did surrogate to keep her figure and etc. But my gut feeling is telling me that the boyfriend performed the surrogate procedure without her knowledge or consent. I wouldn’t be surprised if she froze her eggs with the goal of having babies later in her life; common in Asia.
Zheng Shuang is only 29 and wasn’t married. Unless Zheng Shuang is crazy but her private conversation sounded like she didn’t even want the children.
Anon
Oh goodness, do you even know what surrogacy is? How could the woman not be fully & consciously involved for a surrogacy to take place? Her boyfriend stole her frozen eggs? Is that even a possibility? Did you think that the frozen eggs were kept in the freezer in the refrigerator at home? If the boyfriend is so desperate to have children, I’m sure there are plenty of girls who are willing to marry him. Definitely much less hassle, simpler and less expensive than transporting frozen eggs to a foreign country and looking for 2 ladies in different states to go through the very expensive implantation procedure.
Trinity
It’s a legal process in the US. Both parents are involved in the process and even need lawyers to review everything together before anything can proceed. There is no way she wouldn’t have been involved in the process. ZH could have definitely pushed her or manipulated her into having the 2 children but she was fully part of the process.
And if she had frozen eggs they are usually stored away in facilities equipped for that and not just anyone can retrieve them. Eggs are hard to freeze, you don’t just chuck them into a freezer.
TrueBlue
You can’t steal anyone’s eggs, unless you literally break into the facility ninja style. As someone who has done IVF, I can tell you with 2000% confidence that no doctor in the US will take someone’s eggs and inseminate them without written consent, signed and witnessed, from both parties. This is a high-litigation issue. You can’t walk into their office and say, hey can you take my sperms and put them into this woman’s eggs and then transfer them into a surrogate and by the way, this is a surprise for the eggs’ owner so please don’t tell her anything. I want to surprise her with a couple of babies. First of all, for the doctor’s office to say yes, they already broke HIPPA laws by acknowledging that she is even their patient. In my experience, I couldn’t even bring my husband’s sperms to the office. He has to do it himself and has to prove his identity with a government issued ID before they even accept it.
Fei
No, they got married and are in the process of divorcing. There’s proof on it as fans were able to dig up that information. Besides, ZH can’t proceed with the surrogacy without consent. I’m sure signatures and other stuff are required and etc. in order to proceed. She was in it also, so it definitely wasn’t one sided. She’s well aware of it and didn’t want to proceed with the surrogacy after they broke up but it was already too late.
Anonymous
Whatever they decide to do, both parties should please keep the children’s identity out of the media and out of the spotlight. These things tend to follow people around forever. Imagine as a child , being teased by other kids about their background and history. This is why I wished that this could have been resolved privately, for the kids ‘sake.

This is so bad. She is terrible. She even made the news in the USA – Yahoo & CNN:
