During her celebration, her boyfriend of six years and teammate, Qin Kai, proposed to her. He shocked her by bending on one knee by the podium and pulling out a box containing an engagement ring.

While this is from a past Olympics, the moment has resurfaced and gone viral again with 5.3M views on X (formerly Twitter) at the time of writing, as netizens remember iconic moments from the Olympics of years gone by.

The couple have now been married since 2017.

They’re not the only Chinese divers that might be more than just teammates. Read more below.
