This relationship gained significant attention after Ge Huijie discussed their strained two-decade relationship in a video on her personal page. In 2005, at the age of 18, Ge Huijie gave birth to their daughter, Wang Manxi, with Wang Feng, but the two never formally married.

Ge Huijie admitted that she was too young at the time, lacked experience as a mother, and was concerned about her modeling career. Therefore, she accepted Wang Feng's proposal for their daughter to live with him. According to their agreement, Wang Feng paid Ge Huijie 300,000 yuan (over 1.1 billion dong) for her to remain silent about his personal life.

Manxi was raised and cared for by her paternal grandmother and a nanny. Ge Huijie stated that her paternal grandmother "educated her very well," which resulted in Manxi being well-behaved and performing well in school. In contrast, her maternal grandparents did not acknowledge their granddaughter because Wang Feng had not provided betrothal money to Ge Huijie's parents. Ge Huijie herself never contributed financially to raising her daughter.

Previously, Ge Huijie communicated with Wang Feng's mother and the nanny about her daughter's situation. However, after the paternal grandmother passed away and the Wang Feng family hired a different nanny, Ge Huijie had fewer opportunities to inquire about Wang Manxi, who is now 21 years old.

"My daughter refuses to seek me out. I believe that if one day she wants to, she will find me herself," Ge Huijie said. Manxi resents Ge Huijie, believing that she abandoned her.

In 2015, Wang Feng married actress Zhang Ziyi, and they had two more children together. Ge Huijie noted that Zhang Ziyi was dedicated to Wang Manxi. Initially, Ge Huijie misunderstood, thinking Zhang Ziyi was "staging a show to build her image," but gradually, she understood that the actress was sincere with Wang Manxi. Therefore, she was not surprised when Manxi called Zhang Ziyi "mother." In 2023, Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi divorced, but Zhang Ziyi occasionally meets and spends time with her former husband's daughter.

Ge Huijie feels that everyone is living well now. She respects her daughter's choices and Manxi's current peaceful life. "If there is no destiny, I will not force it," the model stated. Having previously harbored resentment towards Wang Feng and often spoken ill of the singer, Ge Huijie has now let go of her prejudices, feeling that her former partner treated her honorably.

Currently, Wang Feng is dating a woman named Li Qiao. According to Sohu, he is known as a "playboy rocker," having been involved in relationships with many women. In music, the singer is among China's top rockers, with a large fanbase due to his talent in singing, songwriting, and playing instruments.

After divorcing Wang Feng, Zhang Ziyi became a single mother. Wang Feng occasionally picks up their children for outings. The two artists previously stated that they remain like family, co-parenting and educating their children, striving to be reliable parents.
