Iris Lee celebrated her birthday with actor Xian Lim with an intimate dinner date to mark the special occasion. The celebration, which happened on Wednesday, June 5, was documented by Iris on her Instagram Stories. 

The couple shared a cozy dinner at a restaurant, seated next to each other while enjoying their food. The atmosphere was made even more special by the restaurant staff, who sang a birthday song to Iris. Iris was also given a slice of cake with a “Happy Birthday!” message written on the plate. 

This birthday celebration follows a series of public appearances and romantic getaways that have fueled interest in their relationship. Just a month before, Iris and Xian attended the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in France together.

Iris shared moments from their trip on her Instagram page, including a romantic stroll through the picturesque streets of Cannes. 

Rumors about Iris and Xian dating began circulating in early December 2023. The speculation was initially sparked by showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz, who mentioned in a vlog that Iris, a producer, was being linked to the actor. 

Since then, the pair has been spotted together multiple times, including attending a motorcycle-riding school, spending time at intimate gatherings with close friends, and going on a location scouting trip in Thailand. 

Xian confirmed their relationship in May, months after his breakup with longtime girlfriend Kim Chiu. In an interview with Esquire Philippines, Xian candidly addressed the rumors, saying, “I’m seeing Iris… Just to clear everything, to clear all the speculations. We are seeing each other and we are very happy.”

In the interview, Xian also clarified the rumors that have circulated online regarding his breakup with Kim. “These are things that I want to clarify. Number one: that there was a third party. There’s no third party. That’s it. That plain and simple,” he clarified.
