According to a Weibo influencer named "Gossip Growth Association," Chinese singer Wanting Qu, famous for her song "You Exist in My Song," is publicly dating the mayor of Vancouver, Canada. The post claims their relationship began in 2012, and that Mayor Gregor Robertson recently divorced his wife.
Qu Wanting, 32, is 18 years younger than Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, 50. Age-gap relationships always attract attention and gossip, especially for celebrities in the public eye, which fuels much speculation. The May-December romance between Liu Qiangdong and "Milk Tea Sister" Zhang Zetian previously garnered considerable attention.
Besides the gossip-loving mentality, many people hold a distrustful and incomprehensible attitude towards May-December romances. They believe that most young people enter into these relationships for personal reasons—money, fame, or vanity—and once they obtain or fail to obtain what they want, they leave without hesitation for another. The older partner, they believe, is simply indulging in fleeting novelty, craving the feeling of no longer being young, and quickly withdrawing when they grow tired or lose interest.
From this perspective, "May-December romance" is nothing more than a combination where both parties get what they need; it's just a special kind of transaction.
Of course, everyone has their own perspectives and lifestyles, and we cannot impose our own ideas on others. In fact, only they truly know whether they are happy or not.
Love isn't a performance; it shouldn't be tainted by any utilitarian motives. The most important thing is whether both parties love each other. People come together for love, and that union deepens their love—that's the true essence of happiness. Regardless of whether it's a May-December romance or not, it's always best to be clear-headed and think things through before making a decision. Furthermore, prepare yourself mentally. You're simply dating someone with a significant age gap; you haven't done anything immoral. You can naturally face life with a clear conscience, and there's no need to hide anything.
