Zhang Yaodong Clarifies That He & Paige Chua Aren’t Dating After Netizens Got The Wrong Idea 'Cos Of These Pics

It’s reel life, not real life, okay?

Zhang Yaodong Clarifies That He & Paige Chua Aren’t Dating After Netizens Got The Wrong Idea 'Cos Of These Pics

On Jun 24, Paige Chua and Zhang Yaodong took to their respective IG accounts to post pics of them looking lovey-dovey by the Singapore River.

“I’ll [choose] love again as long as [it brings you] happiness]," he captioned. She wrote: “Life is about taking chances. So is love."

Naturally, this led people to believe that it was Yaodong and Paige's way of making it IG-official and announcing that they're dating. It didn’t help that their celeb friends, such as Romeo Tan, left a trail of heart emojis on both their posts.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Paige and Yaodong aren’t dating.

“We received so many congratulatory messages that I was quite shocked!" Yaodong said with a chuckle when he spoke to 8days.sg over the phone a day after the photos were posted. "But rumours of us dating aren’t true. We took these photos when we were filming Soul Old Yet So Young, and I decided to post something on my IG after I saw Paige do the same. We even added the show’s hashtags to our captions, so I don’t know why people would misunderstand.”

The 43-year-old explained that he’s worked with Paige so many times that they’re “very comfortable with each other”. That rapport helped a lot as they play a couple in Soul Old Yet So Young, and had plenty of emotional scenes that “wouldn’t have been possible to film if we didn’t know each other so well”.
