On Dec. 29, homegrown mandopop singer JJ Lin, 44, posted a photo of himself celebrating his mother's 70th birthday on his Instagram.
However, Instagram users were quick to notice a familiar face standing next to Lin's mother — Chinese model and internet influencer Annalisa Qiqi.
While there is no public information about Qiqi's age, several Chinese news outlets reported that she is around 23 years old.
In February 2025, rumours began circulating online that Lin was dating Qiqi after they met through a mutual friend at the end of 2023.
At the time, Lin's representative called the rumours "groundless" and refused to engage with them.
The representative also emphasised that the singer's life was still "centred on his music career" and did not confirm or deny the relationship.
Lin's post
Although Lin posted a picture of Qiqi with his family on Instagram, he did not address their rumoured relationship.
Instead, he dedicated the entire post to his mother, writing in English and traditional Chinese:
"Love doesn't need long speeches. It's about standing by each other, rain or shine, offering the truest companionship and sharing life's purest joys.
Dear Mom, happy 70th birthday. May you always be surronded by love, blessed with good health, happiness, and a life filled with smiles."
Mixed reactions
In the comments section, many Instagram users, including Taiwanese singers Jay Chou and Jam Hsiao, wished Lin happiness and joy.
However, some commenters clearly did not take the news well, with some fans accusing Lin of lying to them about his relationship with Qiqi and refusing to send them their well-wishes.
The inclusion of Qiqi in Lin's family photo also prompted some Instagram users to question whether Lin and Qiqi are getting married soon and whether Qiqi is pregnant.
Representative's response
In response to Lianhe Zaobao's queries, Lin's representative did not explicitly confirm Qiqi's relationship with Lin.
Instead, the representative said that Lin is "very happy now" and would like to thank everyone for their concern.
"He does not have any concrete plans at the moment and will focus on his life and work. Thank you again for your concern," added the representative.
As for online rumours that Qiqi appeared to be pregnant, the representative said, "[She] is not pregnant."
