The relationship between Lưu Diệc Phi and Bành Quán Anh once became a topic of special interest to audiences after the success of the movie "The Story of Rose".
The harmony of the two on screen, especially through romantic scenes, made many fans "push the boat" and question the real-life relationship of the two actors.
Rumors began to spread from 2023, when behind-the-scenes photos of a kissing scene at the airport of "The Story of Rose" were shared on social networks.
After the movie aired in 2024, netizens continued to "scrutin" many details considered evidence of the relationship between the two, from costumes, accessories to the setting in the photos.
However, much information was later determined to be insufficient to prove that the two actors were dating. Some items considered "pair items" are actually popular products on the market.
Interior details used to speculate about cohabitation are also considered to be the setting or items serving the filming process.
Information about the two people living in the same building also stems from the fact that their company is registered for business at the same address, instead of evidence showing that they lived together.
Notably, during the rumors' spread, no credible images of Liu Yifei and Eddie Peng being together in private space appeared. Liu Yifei's side also once spoke out to refute the content considered fabricated or distorted about the actress's private life.
On Eddie Peng's side, the actor once gave positive comments to his co-star and called Liu Yifei a senior colleague.
He said he felt honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with her. This answer also shows that the two mainly maintained a colleague relationship after the movie ended.
Meanwhile, Liu Yifei almost did not directly respond to love rumors. The actress chose to focus on work and limit private sharing.
In July 2026, her manager was said to have taken legal action against a media unit related to privacy information, showing a tougher attitude towards unfounded rumors.
Recently, Liu Yifei continued to attract attention with her simple everyday image. On August 17, she appeared at Chengdu high-speed train station in a casual shirt combined with a Louis Vuitton bag.
Just one day later, the actress appeared neatly at a brand event. This contrast partly shows that she always separates the image of an artist from her personal life.
At the present time, there is no reliable evidence confirming that Lưu Diệc Phi and Bành Quán Anh once had a romantic relationship. When the movie ended, the two also returned to their own projects, leaving the rumors to gradually subside over time.
