Michelle Chen and Chen Xiao Confirm Dating; Found Love on Set of “Return of the Condor Heroes”
Michelle Chen (陳妍希) made news last year when she starred as Little Dragon Girl in the Return of the Condor Heroes <神鵰俠侶>. Michelle’s suitability for the role was hotly debated by fans of the martial arts classic. Although the harsh criticism and pressure led to Michelle’s depression and even suicidal thoughts, Michelle’s involvement in the drama allowed her to fall in love.
The 32-year-old Taiwanese actress confirmed that she is dating 28-year-old Mainland actor Chen Xiao (陳曉), who also played her onscreen love interest, Yang Guo, in Return of the Condor Heroes. This month, the Chinese media discovered that the couple was staying in the same hotel room in Beijing.
The rumors revolving around the couple started in June, when Chen Xiao was spotted in Shanghai at the same hotel that Michelle was staying in. What made the sighting even more curious was that Chen Xiao was meant to be filming in Tianjin and had no known reason for being in Shanghai. At the time he was in Shanghai, it was just one day before Michelle’s birthday.
Several days later, Michelle was in turn spotted in Tianjin and it was discovered that she was staying at the same hotel as Chen Xiao. His birthday was also within the time frame of Michelle’s visit.
The series of “coincidences” can only lead to one conclusion: that Michelle and Chen Xiao are dating. This has been confirmed by Michelle’s manager, who said, “I am very happy for Michelle and wish her well. I hope everyone else will also share in her joy and wish her well.”

Great to see that she found love with Chen Xiao after the harsh and cruel comments directed at her by online bullies.
@msxie0714
I agree and at least something good came out of it for her. Congrats to them!
I actually like Chen Xiao with Zhao Li Ying. I read somewhere that they were in on-and-off relationship before officially broke up :(((
@tan9x I think Zhao Li Ying looks great with her other male co-stars such as Qi Ji, Gao Zi Qi, Hawick Lau, Ma Ke, and Zhang Han. I remember when there was a time I was hoping for Zhao Li Ying and Qi Ji to date one another in real life. Qi Ji said that Zhao Li Ying is quite his type but they never actually dated. I think Zhao Li Ying and Gao Zi Qi had been dated before.
@nori
as soon as I see you mention Qi Ji/Miracle I wanted to comment. Lol I recently discovered Cuo Dian Yuan Yang–OMG how come this guy is so HOT n still not famous??? After this 2011 lead role, it’s like he’s still unknown? Why?I mean u see guys like above get so famous n he’s only averagely cute. Well, I’m sure it’s about LUCK and connections too. Yes its true XLY is cute w.many costars so w.this one i dont feel anything. Qi Ji – I want to see more of works but gosh the supportings roles. Signnn.
@kiki Honestly, I am never a fan of Chen Xiao. Sometimes, I think he’s overreacted. I agree that luck and connections within the industry play a key role in making one becoming successful. Qi Ji’latest drama was Cruel Romance. I really hope there will be more opportunities for him shine.
@nori
Honestly,aren’t all if not most celebs overrated to some extent,especially these days? Luck, timing,connections,etc… apply to all celebs,not just Chen Xiao.
@kiki As you mention Cuo Dian Yuan Yang, check out this video

@nori
thanks nori… love it lol… I only like part 1 actually cuz part 2 was pretty boring. It still has some sweet moments but part 1 so much funnier, exciting and it just runs smoothly.
Yes, I know my mom was watching that I was holy that’s the guy lol but even portraying a bad guy, he’s just gorgeous but a supporting role. 🙁
I just don’t get it, u see some popular so fast but he was really great in Cui Dian but that drama is not even popular? Even the ZLY girl – ppl just mentioned all her drama but bypassed that one. So weird. I thought ppl like those kind of dramas – u know like ching Yao feel? Lol
@tan9x
I heard that many liked Zhao Li Ying and Chen Xiao together after seeing them in Female Prime Minister. However,on screen and off screen are two different worlds. I think they had feelings for each other in real life but I guess in the end, they faded and did not last. But it is not up to us who they date or not.
Anyways, I am glad that Chen Xiao and Michelle are together. They are another on screen and off screen couple which also does not happen often. I never thought they would date in real life. Hope that they last and end up together. Congrats to them!
Unless she has been forced into the role in Return of the Condor Heroes or needed the money desperately, her suicidal thoughts back then as a result of harsh criticism and pressure is so bizarre. The physical beauty of the heroine is not a secret at all.
Anyway, if both them were single when they decided to date, they don’t deserve the backlash from netizens (elsewhere).
@bearbear
It was Chen Xiao who wanted Michelle in the role and recommended her specifically.
@msxie0714 Hmm…this may sounds harsh but if she hasn’t been coerced into the role and gone ahead to accept it when open eyes, then she doesn’t deserve any sympathy for her pressure back then.
Well, that drama is over.
Congrats to the couple. They looks good and happy together . But the timing of this confirmation is a little fishy to me. Anyhow, best wishes to Michelle and Chen Xiao!
It’s always make me smile. Celebrities and their “love life”. Because of them other people are thinking that hot women are RESERVED only for THEM. This text explained me why we tend to think like that http://bestdatingproductreviews.com/make-women-want-you-review. I hate this cuz I was thinking the same when I come back to the past ^^. And there was a serious problem due this way of thinking because I was avoiding and not talking to them. It took some time for me to get rid of this “not for me” feeling, but I’m actually not so scared when approaching hot women. And I think that’s because of it. I don’t treat them as something “unattainable”. I’m actually dating with 9/10 woman. I know I have to increase this number but I’m so excited :).
I remember ppl saying she’s the ugly Dragon girl. I took glimpses of it on u tube, she really is not only attractive enough but her customs and hair are also the ugliest I’ve seen. Crystal Liu was another pretty version but this one u really didn’t know why they pick her or him lol…. Oh well, a love connection between the ugliest version lol… I guess u can say something did come out of an ugly situation.
I feel so jealous of her, I wanted him to be mine!
