Huang Xiao-Ming Reveals Girlfriend: Fans Critique the “Scheming” Persona of His Hot Partner

On the afternoon of September 19th, the Chinese social media platform Weibo experienced a stir when actor Huang Xiao-Ming officially announced his relationship with Ye Ke. He shared on his personal page, “Sorry for taking up public space. Everyone, stop guessing, we are together now,” tagging Ye Ke’s account in the post. This announcement followed rampant rumors that the actor had secretly married Ye Ke, which had circulated widely on social media.

The confirmation of Huang Xiao-Ming’s relationship with Ye Ke quickly became a trending topic on Weibo, garnering over 120 million views in less than an hour. Among nearly 40,000 viewer comments, many took aim at Ye Ke, labeling her as manipulative and cunning. Before Huang Xiao-Ming’s post, Ye Ke had shared private messages involving herself, the actor, and his staff on social media with the caption: “It’s getting a little confusing,” accompanied by the hashtag “Huang Xiao-Ming denies remarriage to Ye Ke.” In the private messages, the “Return of the Condor Heroes” actor reassured Ye Ke and instructed his assistant to let him manage the announcement of his personal matters: “Don’t say or do anything, let me handle it.” Shortly thereafter, Ye Ke deleted her post. This prompted anger among Huang Xiao-Ming’s fans, who accused her of pressuring him into a public declaration of their relationship.

Meanwhile, there are growing suspicions that Ye Ke may have been behind the rumors suggesting that she was pregnant and had married Huang Xiao-Ming in secret. From the evening of September 18th, Chinese netizens have been actively searching for and discussing rumors regarding Huang Xiao-Ming’s alleged marriage to his girlfriend, Ye Ke.

After speculation arose that Huang Xiao-Ming rekindled his relationship with Angelababy during the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 17th), Ye Ke shared 20 photos depicting her daily life. Notably, one of these pictures showcased Ye Ke wearing a diamond ring, estimated to weigh about 7 carats and valued at over 5 million yuan (approximately 7 million USD). This led netizens to speculate whether this was an engagement ring gifted by Huang Xiao-Ming. Additionally, rumors hinted at Ye Ke being pregnant or undergoing premarital health checks, stemming from a post she made about getting a blood test, which netizens correlated with Huang Xiao-Ming due to a mole on her wrist.

In tandem, Ye Ke’s friends and assistants suggested online that she and Huang Xiao-Ming were already married. They claimed that it was not Angelababy but Ye Ke who attended the family reunion dinner during Mid-Autumn Festival with Huang Xiao-Ming’s family and took photographs of her boyfriend with his relatives. Earlier, on September 10th, an insider from the entertainment industry stated that Huang Xiao-Ming and Ye Ke had quietly registered their marriage and that he had taken her to Qingdao (China) to meet his family and discuss wedding arrangements, as he believed she was pregnant. Huang Xiao-Ming’s parents reportedly have a favorable view of Ye Ke and support their son’s new union. The couple has also conducted a small engagement ceremony to introduce their families.

In response to the widespread marriage rumors, Huang Xiao-Ming gave an exclusive statement to Taiwanese media (China) at noon on September 19th. In an interview with ETtoday, he denied reports of a secret marriage with Ye Ke, stating, “I have not remarried,” but refrained from answering further inquiries, including whether Ye Ke’s close friends were behind the rumors.

Since his divorce from Angelababy, Huang Xiao-Ming has been in two relationships, with Ye Ke and Zhao Shican, with Ye Ke being the longest-term involvement. Their relationship first came to light in 2022, and they broke up in June 2023. Following the split, Ye Ke often voiced her discontent on social media regarding Huang Xiao-Ming moving on to another relationship so quickly.

By November 2023, Huang Xiao-Ming and Ye Ke had reconciled and moved in together. Reports from Sohu indicated that Ye Ke had received the blessing of her future in-laws. At the end of August, Huang Xiao-Ming publicly acknowledged their relationship, holding hands with Ye Ke during the Qixi Festival (China’s Valentine’s Day on August 10th).

Ye Ke, previously a renowned beauty queen from Shenzhen University, has a striking appearance that has been said to surpass that of Huang Xiao-Ming’s ex-wife, Angelababy. Concerning her past, Ye Ke has been married once before and has two children. Her former husband owned a mining company. Following rumors of Ye Ke’s relationship with Huang Xiao-Ming, her ex-husband insinuated on social media that she bore responsibility for the troubles in their marriage. This led to speculation that Ye Ke was an interloper in Huang Xiao-Ming and Angelababy’s marriage. However, Ye Ke has denied being the “other woman” in Huang Xiao-Ming’s life.
