Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and pop star Wanting Qu have ended their relationship, according to a report.

The couple broke up two months ago. The mayor’s office told the South China Morning Post that Robertson and Qu “are no longer together. They ended their relationship in May.”

Robertson and Qu first went public with their relationship in January 2015, six months after Robertson announced that he had separated from his wife of 30 years, Amy Robertson.

Robertson became a mainstay on Qu’s popular Instagram page, but disappeared from the pop star’s social media in 2017. Their last Instagram photo together was posted on Christmas Eve.

In 2017, Qu has focused mostly on her mother’s trial in China for embezzlement, bribery and abuse of power. If convicted, Qu Zhang Mingjie faces the death penalty.

In a post to Chinese social media site Weibo earlier this month, Qu said she felt the fact the court has taken so long to rule in the case — it concluded a year ago — was a good sign. Qu has proclaimed her mother’s innocence in the past.

Robertson, meanwhile, has been busy running the City of Vancouver. While there will likely be plenty of talk about the mayor being back on the dating market, most Vancouverites probably care more about the rental market, where affordable apartments remain less available than their mayor.
