On October 9th, it was reported that the popular internet celebrity “Hou Ge Shuo Che” (Brother Monkey Talks Cars), with millions of followers, released a video announcing that he and He Yuxin had officially divorced on September 26th. He stated, “Our fate has ended, we have divorced peacefully,” and that “life is not a script; there will always be unexpected disagreements.”
The couple made their relationship public and announced their marriage in 2022, having been lauded at the time as a “match made in internet celebrity heaven.” Their wedding ceremony took place on September 27th of that year.
In October 2024, “Hou Ge Shuo Che” revealed in an interview the dire situation of his offline, multi-story car dealership going bankrupt. Towards the end of October, he appeared again to address the matter, explaining that immense financial pressure had left him physically and mentally exhausted. He admitted that his life had been in a poor state and that relationship issues had also arisen. He confessed to not communicating effectively with his family, who he felt did not understand or were misunderstanding his situation, and instead chose to evade conflict through constant business trips and incessant work, using them as a means to numb himself.
Concurrently, “Hou Ge Shuo Che” expressed that these experiences had deepened his understanding of the importance of family and his resolve to bravely confront his inner fears and pressures, with a commitment to actively reintegrate into his family life.
However, in early December 2024, He Yuxin posted a video stating that her husband had proposed divorce without any prior warning the previous year, and that she had initially refused. She further detailed that in October, her husband’s attitude had shifted. She gave him a fifteen-day period, during which he did not initiate any contact or express concern for her, claiming to be on business trips daily. She felt his actions were merely an attempt to appease public opinion rather than a genuine desire to mend their relationship.
On December 22nd, 2024, He Yuxin released another video announcing that her attempts at reconciliation had failed and that she had consulted a lawyer to bring “a conclusion to this farce.”
