Spotted, as of last night in a dingy parking lot: Kris Wu with a fresh-faced mystery woman, fingers intertwined with the unmistakable seal of young love.

Early this morning, Chinese reporters captured footage of Kris and this woman first getting into a vehicle together, and later emerging from a parking garage underneath Kris’ residence, with palms clasped.
The woman was later identified by netizen sleuths as Qin Niu Zhengwei from Nanyang, Henan province. A popular Weibo wanghong influencer with about 900k followers, she goes by the name Luyi Luna on social media platforms. Furthermore, Luna is an aspiring actress and second-year student at Beijing Film Academy.
You heard that right — she’s still in college! And with Wu’s 29th birthday looming in the imminent future, there is nearly a decade of age difference between the two of them.

Needless to say, the internet is awash with speculation over the new couple and the shrouded origins of their apparent romance. Some conspiracists even picked up on the shared surname between Luna and Chinese mega-celebrity Luhan, and ran with it.
Ok Kris Wu’s girlfriend, will u be my girlfriend??? Duhhh she’s so cute ??? her sure name is 鹿？ Is she Luhan’s relative or not? https://t.co/HFXIQddQ9k

Well, is she Luhan’s relative or not? Wu’s representatives were unavailable to comment.
Many on Weibo expressed shock and surprise over the photographs of the new lovers, but online conversations surrounding the drama have actually been quite tame in nature.
One netizen, in response to a media outlet posting the news on Weibo, commented, “Shit, the boss [Kris Wu] isn’t small anymore, it’s time to talk about real love. I once used to desperately chase idols.”
How’s that for self aware? Wu’s normally rabid fandom seemed to recognize that although Kris was once the object of their most indulgent carnal fantasies, he is also a real human with an actual life, and deserves to be treated as such.
Cfans react to Luna, the alleged girlfriend of Kris Wu.

It’s nice to see the internet finally being happy for Kris Wu.
Is Kris Wu in a relationship?
Plot twist — Luna took to Weibo on August 31, 2019 to deny that she and Kris were an item: “I’ve always had the greatest respect for Teacher Wu, no relationship, no video, no story.”
Conclusive? The internet seem to think not. Expect this story to run for a while….
