At a media screening for the iQIYI reality show Her Prime (姐姐当家), actress Dong Xuan openly confirmed that she has remarried, calling it a carefully considered decision. “My past marriage helped me understand more clearly what I need — someone who can share the responsibilities of life with me,” she said during the interview, encouraging others with similar experiences to be brave in pursuing happiness.
New Husband Revealed
While the 46-year-old Dong Xuan didn’t name her new husband, multiple sources point to 37-year-old actor Zhang Weiyi, who is nine years her junior. Aside from being a stage actor, he had worked on Dong Xuan’s 2023 web drama The Case Solver 3 in a supporting role. Rumors of their relationship gained traction after several sightings. In June 2025, Zhang Weiyi even shared a photo taken with Dong Xuan and her daughter, nicknamed Little Dimple.
The couple reportedly registered their marriage on June 21, 2025, in Datong, Shanxi, and held a low-key wedding banquet. Dong Xuan admitted that she once made a pact with her girlfriends to “only date, not marry” again. But meeting the right person changed her mind. She referenced her close friend and fellow actress Tong Liya who said this about her, “she had already ‘frozen her heart,’ but now she believes in love again.”
A Complicated Past – What About Gao Yunxiang Now?
Dong Xuan was previously married to Gao Yunxiang in 2011. Their marriage ended in 2019 following the Chinese actor’s involvement in a sexual assault case in Australia, though he was ultimately acquitted in 2020. Dong Xuan had traveled to Australia and reportedly paid a 14 million yuan bail to help him, actions that earned her the nickname “the queen of forgiveness” online. However, she clarified that her decisions were driven by her responsibilities as a mother and wife.
In June 2024, Gao was reported to have changed his name to Gao Shenghui and remarried. He has since welcomed another daughter, while Dong Xuan’s daughter with Gao Yunxiang is now 9 years old.
