It is noted that Fan Chengcheng is the younger brother of actress Fan Bingbing, who previously dated and subsequently got engaged to Li Chen in 2017. However, following the actress' tax evasion scandal in 2018, the two announced their breakup in June the next year.

Netizens took to the comments to express their curiosity as to how Li would be working with Fan Bingbing's brother, with one saying, "Maybe despite breaking up with the sister, he can still be a big brother to her brother."

In a past interview following their breakup, Fan Bingbing admitted that she was sorry of the implications that her case had on him, as Li was also slandered and his work impacted by the tax evasion scandal. Fan Bingbing stated that the only way to solve that was to keep him away from her.
