There Were Already Speculations About the Celebrity Couple’s Split
Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy dated for about five years before going public with their relationship in 2014. A year later, the couple decided to tie the knot.
The two were eventually blessed with a baby. In 2017, the actress gave birth to a baby boy, whom they nicknamed Little Sponge.
In 2019, rumours of marital woes started surfacing because the two were hardly seen together in public. They were also found to have seldom interacted on social media.

In July of that year, Huang tried to refute the rumours when he directly replied to a fan on Weibo about how he still liked his wife.
But speculation about their split didn’t end there. In September, Huang and Angelababy performed separately at broadcaster China Central Television’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
Neither had ever commented if the divorce rumours were true until their recent break-up confirmation.
