Actor Li Chen posted a photo of himself with renowned actress Fan Bingbing with a caption that announced they’re dating.

    Fan later reposted Li’s Weibo to confirm the relationship.

    Li and Fan have known each other for over 10 years.

    Their latest project together is the popular TV series “The Empress of China,” also known as “The Saga of Wu Zetian,” which hit screens last year.

    Sources say the two have been dating for some time, but the actors have denied this.

    It is the first time Fan has admitted to a relationship since she made her debut 18 years ago.

    In May 2015, Fan topped Forbes magazine’s annual ranking of Chinese celebrities for the third consecutive year, with an annual income of 128 million yuan (US$20.6 million) in the past year.(SD-Agencies)
