G.E.M. (Deng Ziqi) was recently rumored to have married her long-term boyfriend, stylist Mark Wei Junjie, at a church in New York. G.E.M.'s management company responded by stating, "We do not comment on artists' private lives," and did not confirm the marriage news.
The source of this rumor has been traced to the male party's circle of friends and relatives. Their relationship first drew attention in 2017 when they were photographed together, after which they publicly confirmed they were dating. There have been multiple previous rumors about their marriage, but none were confirmed.
Following the marriage rumors, an old case involving a man with the same name has resurfaced in online discussions. Related reports cited a 2017 Hong Kong High Court ruling stating that a man named "Wei Junjie" in Chinese was found guilty of wounding and common assault for his involvement in a 2015 bar altercation in Causeway Bay. His appeal was dismissed, and he was sentenced to three months and three weeks in prison. Sharing the same name is insufficient to confirm that the individual in the ruling is G.E.M.'s boyfriend, and existing materials cannot verify whether they are the same person.
