Fresh controversy has emerged surrounding disgraced former idol Kris Wu (Wu Yi Fan), as Chinese entertainment circles are now buzzing with rumors that he allegedly has a six-year-old child born out of wedlock.
Kris Wu is currently serving a 13-year prison sentence for rape and organizing group sexual activities involving multiple young women. In June this year, Chinese media reported that his prison term was effectively extended after both he and his mother were found guilty of large-scale tax evasion amounting to 300 million yuan (approximately USD 42 million). Having entered prison at age 31, Wu is not expected to be released until his mid-to-late 40s.
According to unverified information circulating within the Chinese entertainment industry and reported by outlet 163, Kris Wu is rumored to have a child who is now six years old and already attending elementary school. The child’s mother is said to be a woman born in 1997 a wealthy heiress, a former U.S.-based international student, and someone described as having both beauty and an elite background.
Industry insiders claim this woman was once approved by Kris Wu’s mother as a potential daughter-in-law. However, after Wu became entangled in criminal investigations, the woman allegedly cut off all contact with him and his family, relocating to the United States with the child. It is further claimed that over the past four years, she has never taken the child to visit Kris Wu in prison.
These claims have sparked intense debate on social media, though no official confirmation has been made by authorities or directly involved parties. At present, the information remains strictly rumor.
Previously, speculation had pointed to influencer Joanna Zheng as the woman who allegedly bore Kris Wu’s child. Joanna Zheng is known for her striking appearance and impressive academic background, having reportedly graduated from Tsinghua University and earned a master’s degree from Guanghua School of Management at Peking University.
However, Joanna Zheng firmly denied the allegations. She stated that she never dated Kris Wu nor had a child with him, explaining that they merely shared mutual friends and had attended social gatherings together, without any romantic involvement.
Kris Wu’s downfall began in 2021, when he became the first top-tier Chinese celebrity to be imprisoned following a massive sexual assault scandal. He was arrested in July 2021 after his ex-girlfriend Du Meizhu accused him of drugging and raping her. Du further alleged that he exploited his fame to lure numerous young women some of whom were minors into sexual relationships.
Chinese authorities later confirmed that between November and December 2020, Kris Wu raped three women who were intoxicated and unable to resist, and that in July 2018 he organized group sexual encounters involving others. Due to the presence of underage victims, the trial was held behind closed doors, and all related details including images of Kris Wu in prison remain strictly classified.
After completing his sentence, Kris Wu will be deported from China and banned from re-entering the country for ten years. His appeal against the sentence was rejected by the court.
As rumors about a secret child continue to circulate, public reaction remains overwhelmingly skeptical. Given Kris Wu’s criminal record and history of scandals, many netizens are urging caution, emphasizing that no unverified claim should be treated as fact until credible evidence emerges.
