Pole Dancing & Affairs: Popular actor addresses dating rumors debunked by alleged ex-boyfriend, fellow actor

A male actor has officially addressed rumors surrounding his personal life.

In 2023, Chinese actor Chen Muchi (also known as Luke Chen) found himself in hot water after rumors surfaced that he was living together Chen BingA 7 years younger Chinese singer. The then 26-year-old actor was also revealed to be married.

After revealing that he was married but now separated, Chen Muchi addressed the rumors surrounding him and Wu Chiyu following the leaking of “a few photos” of him and Wu by a mutual friend. Chen said that he and Wu were just roommates and were never romantically involved.

Wu disagreed, going live and claiming they were romantically involved, saying Chen was the one who moved their friendship into romance by initiating their first kiss and first sexual encounter. Wu also claimed that he first began to question his sexual orientation because of Chen.

Even more surprisingly, Wu claimed that he financially supported his child from a previous relationship and Chen, who failed to pay rent, by becoming a pole dancer. With his earnings from pole dancing and small acting roles, Wu said he paid the rent and more, showing his bank statements and promising to provide video proof if needed.

On March 29, 2026, Chen posted a message to address these allegations, stating that the pair were never in a relationship but had a close friendship. He also said that Wu had loaned him money, that the debt had been repaid and that any claims that he was financially dependent on others were false.

Wu Chuyi recently appeared in a short drama titled “Imperial Sparrow”.
