An Qi has become the latest Chinese idol to find herself at the center of dating speculation after paparazzi footage allegedly showed her returning home with an unidentified man.
According to several Chinese entertainment accounts, the footage was captured after Anqi enjoyed dinner with a group of close friends. After the gathering ended, she reportedly spent some time chatting with her friends outside the restaurant before leaving the venue.

The videos circulating online claim that Anqi then entered a waiting vehicle. Shortly afterward, an unidentified man wearing a white shirt was seen getting into the same car, prompting immediate speculation from netizens.
According to reports accompanying the footage, the pair traveled together to Anqi’s residential neighborhood. Although they reportedly exited the vehicle separately, both were later seen entering the same villa. Entertainment bloggers further claimed that the man did not leave the residence afterward, fueling widespread rumors that the two may be romantically involved.
The alleged sighting quickly spread across Chinese social media platforms, where fans began debating the identity of the mystery man. Since his face was not clearly revealed and no official information has been released, his identity remains unknown.
Many netizens speculated that the unidentified man could be Anqi’s boyfriend, pointing to the fact that they reportedly returned to the same residence after spending the evening together. Others, however, urged caution, noting that the footage alone does not confirm a romantic relationship and that the man could simply be a friend or acquaintance.
Anqi first gained widespread recognition through Youth With You 2 before debuting as a member of THE9 alongside popular contestants including Esther Yu and Snow Kong. Since then, she has built a successful career as both an idol and solo artist, making any rumors surrounding her personal life a frequent topic of public discussion.
At the time of writing, Anqi has not addressed the dating speculation, and no agency statement has been released regarding the circulating paparazzi footage.
For now, the rumors remain exactly that—speculation. While the videos have generated considerable online discussion, there is currently no confirmed evidence that Anqi and the unidentified man are in a romantic relationship. Until either party comments publicly, the true nature of their relationship remains unknown.
