Tian and Ye started dating in early 2006, but their relationship was kept under wraps until late October of that year when media reports revealed that Tian had bought an apartment for Ye as a gift.

The couple was also spotted at this year's Qingdao International Sailing Regatta in July, where they participated in an event called "Yachting Camp for Lovers".

Now a senior official at Shaanxi Sports Bureau, Tian, who won Olympic golds in the 10-meter platform at the Sydney Games in 2000 and the synchronized platform in Athens in 2004, is one of the most controversial sports star in China.

He was expelled from China's national team for taking on too many commercial activities and allegedly refused to return to the team following the Athens Olympics.
