Personal life
Zhang Jike In March 2018, Jing went public with her relationship with Chinese table tennis player Zhang Jike. They announced their separation in June 2019. In 2023, paparazzo Zhuo Wei claimed that Zhang had provided a casino in Myanmar with intimate videos of Jing to cover a ¥17 million gambling debt. Zhuo, who said he had been contacted by an intermediary for the casino, warned Jing so that she could gather evidence when she was allegedly blackmailed using the videos.
Justin Sun
In 2026, cryptocurrency businessman Justin Sun sued Jing and her parents in China for ¥30 million that he described as a betrothal gift. Sun claimed that Jing had proposed to have a child through surrogacy but reneged on the egg-retrieval procedure when he refused to provide an additional US$50 million after having consulted an AI chatbot for advice. Jing responded that she would not "ever sell [her] love for money, let alone [her] soul". She went on to comment that her "judgment in men is still poor", and "still lacking in wisdom". Both parties appear to have been subject to online censorship following the breakup and subsequent debate.
