She shared that, while she had previously believed she would never marry again, her second husband has changed her perspective and helped her believe in the institution of marriage once more.

Dong has emphasized that, regardless of the past, Gao remains her family and her daughter’s father, and she does not wish for her ex-husband to suffer.
According to DesignDong’s new husband is 37-year-old actor Zhang Wei Yi, whom she worked with on the 2023 film “The Case Solver 3.” A source revealed that the couple registered their marriage in June and held a small wedding reception.
