50-Year-Old Chinese Woman Marries Son's Classmate, Reveals She Is Pregnant
Last Updated: The woman was reportedly encouraged by her son to pursue the relationship. A 50-year-old Chinese e-commerce entrepreneur, popularly known as 'Sister Xin" on Douyin (China's version of TikTok), has gone viral for her unconventional love story. She recently married her son's Russian classmate and revealed that she is now expecting a baby. A divorced mother who raised her son and daughter on her own, Sister Xin regularly shares glimpses of her lavish lifestyle with over 13,000 followers. According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), her unusual love story began six years ago when her son, Kaikai, invited three foreign classmates over for a Lunar New Year dinner. One of them was a tall (6'3") Russian student named Defu, who spoke fluent Chinese. He was so impressed by Sister Xin's cooking and hospitality that he extended his stay from one night to a full week. 'I was still young and attractive then. Defu kept in touch with me, sending gifts and surprises over the years," Sister Xin told the SCMP. At first, she wasn't interested in a relationship with him due to the big age gap (over 20 years), cultural differences, and her past divorce. But with her son's support, she eventually gave the relationship a chance. The couple officially registered their marriage earlier this year and have been travelling around China together since then. On June 8, Sister Xin posted a video on social media announcing her pregnancy. She said, 'Older pregnancies come with risks, but being with Defu makes it worth it." The baby is expected next spring, and the couple has already bought a baby cot. Their relationship has reportedly sparked a lot of discussion online. While some people support their love, others are doubtful. Another wrote, 'Will she move to Russia with Defu? She might be the same age as his parents. How will that work?" In response to the criticism, Sister Xin shared her prenatal check-up report and confidently said, 'Time will prove our love." In April, a 39-year-old woman from Aligarh eloped with her daughter's fiancé, just days before the planned wedding. As per NDTV, she'd allegedly taken Rs 3.5 lakh and jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh.

50-Year-Old China Woman Marries Son's Russian Classmate, Announces Pregnancy: "Time Will Prove..."
A 50-year-old Chinese entrepreneur, known as "Sister Xin," has sparked controversy online after marrying her son's Russian classmate and announcing her pregnancy. With over 13,000 followers on Douyin, Sister Xin shares her life with her foreign husband, showcasing her luxurious suburban villa and lifestyle complete with a chef and driver. Having divorced at 30, Sister Xin raised her children on her own before finding love again with someone much younger. The unusual romance began six years ago when Sister Xin's son, Kaikai, hosted a Lunar New Year dinner for three foreign classmates, including Defu, a Russian student. Defu, who spoke fluent Chinese, was charmed by Sister Xin's cooking and hospitality, and ended up extending his visit from one night to a whole week. "I was still young and attractive then. Defu kept in touch with me, sending gifts and surprises over the years," Sister Xin told the South China Morning Post. Sister Xin initially brushed off Defu's advances due to their 20-year age gap and 30cm height difference, citing cultural differences and her past marital experience. However, with her son's support, she reconsidered and decided to give love another chance. The couple registered their marriage earlier this year and have since travelled extensively across China, exploring Cantonese cuisine and visiting historic sites like the hometown of Wong Fei-hung. Sister Xin announced her pregnancy on June 8, saying that despite the risks associated with older pregnancies, being with Defu makes it worthwhile. The couple is expecting their baby next spring and has already prepared for the arrival by buying a cot. Their unconventional love story has sparked intense debate on social media, with opinions sharply divided. One user said, "Their unconventional love story has sparked intense debate on social media, with opinions sharply divided." Another commented, "This feels like a scripted romance made for attention. It is too perfect to be real." A third said, "Will she move to Russia with Defu? She might be the same age as his parents. How will that work?" Sister Xin shared her prenatal check-up report, asserting "Time will prove our love," in response to critics.
