“Zhang Ziyi coolly divorces” -What is the real reason?

According to Beijing sources well-informed in the Chinese entertainment industry, she even agreed to each parent raising one of their two children. It seems fair to say that the term ‘cool’ is not an exaggeration.

That’s not all. She made it clear that she harbors no ill feelings towards Wang, stating, “Separation does not mean betrayal or turning our backs on each other” when she announced their official divorce. Then, some might question, “Why did they divorce?”

However, there seems to have been a compelling reason for the divorce. It appears to be Wang’s gambling addiction, which is a well-known rumor in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In fact, Wang is widely known as a high-stakes gambler. He has a reputation as a regular customer at famous casinos in Macau. But this is not something to be proud of. If he’s not careful, he could be blacklisted by Chinese authorities as a disreputable entertainer, facing the prospect of being ousted.

This could have undoubtedly been a burden for Ziyi. In other words, she chose to part ways, foreseeing the negative impact on herself. Moreover, she is known to have an extreme dislike for gambling. It seems that divorce was inevitable.
