Famous Chinese soccer commentator Huang Jianxiang teamed up with Super Girl Zhang Liangying, his rumored girlfriend, to attend a Phoenix TV talk show on Thursday.

The two celebrities for the first time appeared together and denied their rumored relationship on a TV show. They talked about how they met each other and how the rumor has affected their lives.

There has been much media hype and speculation since Huang Jianxiang resigned from national broadcaster CCTV. His fervent yet biased comments during the Italy vs. Australia World Cup match brought him both trouble and more fame.

Huang Jianxiang will launch a new half-hour talk show called "The Daily Games" on Phoenix TV. The daily show is set to start soon later this year.
