'Trust' in Zhang Ziyi-Wang Feng split

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, 44, and musician Wang Feng, 52, have ended their marriage after eight years but have pledged to "continue to raise our children together and be most trusted parents."

And in announcing the split yesterday they also said: "There is no right or wrong between us, and separation doesn't mean disappointment or betrayal. This is a decision made between two adults, and we hope to seek the understanding and support of everyone."

It was, they added, a matter of them "choosing a different method of living so we can each grow on our own," and the separation "will not lessen our love for our children."

They have two children: daughter Xing Xing born in December 2015 and a son born in January 2020.

Their statement included the line that they would not be responding to other questions because their priority was to protect the family.
