Jiang Yiyan Stuns Fans with Divorce Announcement

Jiang Yiyan, the beloved Chinese actress and singer, captured headlines on October 29, 2025, with a surprising revelation. Just as she was about to start filming a new episode of the reality series Sisters Who Make Waves, the 42-year-old announced her divorce, leaving fans and media abuzz.

In a candid conversation, Jiang shared that she has weathered two significant storms recently: a wavering career and a troubled marriage. She expressed heartfelt gratitude towards the show and her fellow cast members, highlighting how their support has reignited her courage and confidence.

Behind the Scenes: Personal Life Unveiled

Close sources reveal that Jiang's divorce was finalized just months ago, despite the couple being spotted enjoying a seemingly affectionate vacation in May. The mystery surrounding her former spouse's identity remains, though media speculation points to Zhao Yidong, a director and actor she met in 2017 during the filming of 77 Days.

The couple, who became parents to a daughter in 2020, kept their marriage and family life under wraps until Jiang publicly acknowledged her new roles in 2022. Until their recent split, the family resided in a serene suburban corner of Yunnan.

Fans React: Admiration and Support

Jiang’s fans have shown a mix of empathy and admiration, praising her resilience and determination to make a comeback in the entertainment industry. Her elegance and openness have struck a chord, especially after years spent away from the limelight.

Born in 1983 in Zhejiang province, Jiang is a Beijing Film Academy alum known for her classic beauty and emotionally rich performances. Her notable works include The Four, Sword Master, I Phone You, and 77 Days.

“Jiang’s journey is a testament to her strength and grace in overcoming life's hurdles,” a fan noted on social media.
