Zheng Shuang Allegedly Gave Birth to Tycoon’s Child: Rewarded with Mansion and Luxury Car?

On May 17, Chinese media outlet 163.com reported, citing unnamed industry insiders, that Zheng Shuang had given birth in the United States, and was subsequently “rewarded” with a luxury villa and limited-edition car by Ye. The gender of the child remains unconfirmed, and the reports have not been backed by verifiable evidence.

These rumors come just months after Zheng was seen sobbing on livestreams in March, vehemently denying allegations that she had become a mistress or surrogate mother to a wealthy man. Netizens at the time demanded she show her full body on camera to quash pregnancy rumors—a request she ignored before disappearing from public view, adding fuel to speculation.

The scandal escalated further when Fuerdai AKA, a popular TikToker and son of Ye Yanwei, publicly accused his father of cheating on his mother with Zheng Shuang and funneling tens of millions of yuan to support her life in exile. He also claimed Zheng lived with multiple other “sugar babies” in a shared home arranged by Ye.

Ye Yanwei, Zheng’s alleged partner (in white shirt), is reportedly on China’s most-wanted list, and authorities have confirmed he would be immediately arrested upon re-entering the country. Sources claim Zheng began her relationship with him in 2024, driven by financial desperation after being blacklisted in China and facing mounting debts in the U.S.

Since her career implosion in 2021—after being accused of surrogacy abandonment, child neglect, and tax evasion—Zheng has struggled to stay afloat. She now reportedly owes over 200 million RMB (~$27.8 million USD) and has been pursued by creditors so relentlessly that some allegedly hired gangs in the U.S. to locate her.

She is also reportedly struggling to offload a 150 million RMB (~$21 million USD) villa that has remained unsold despite a 50% price cut, compounding her financial woes.

With the latest claims stirring widespread debate online, fans and critics alike are questioning whether Zheng’s alleged involvement with Ye Yanwei marks another chapter of scandal or the result of a celebrity driven to extremes by circumstances. As of now, neither Zheng Shuang nor Ye Yanwei has issued a public response to the recent allegations.
