After months spent away from the public eye, Huang Zitao and his wife Xu Yiyang were finally “caught” together again this time during a casual shopping trip that lasted just 27 seconds, but revealed a lot about their current relationship.
The couple, widely nicknamed “the leader and muse of Gen Z”, is considered one of the hottest celebrity couples in Chinese entertainment in 2025. They celebrated a lavish wedding on October 16, and although rumors suggest that they have already welcomed their first child, the two have yet to make any official announcement.
Their low-profile post-marriage lifestyle has so far only increased public curiosity.
On December 16, Chinese paparazzi captured Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang enjoying a low-key shopping date at a mall. Despite the short clip, their natural chemistry quickly became a hot topic online.
Huang Zitao, now a top entertainment executive, has earned praise for his gentlemanly gestures, including opening the car door for his wife and helping her out. Netizens pointed out that although the shares were small, they said a lot about his attention and affection.
Throughout their time at the mall, the couple remained close, chatting comfortably and never moving away from each other, offering a glimpse into their sweet and harmonious life as newlyweds away from the cameras.
Xu Yiyang’s appearance also attracted widespread attention. Dressed casually, without heavy makeup or elaborate styling, the 1997-born singer-actress nevertheless impressed netizens with her glowing skin and delicate facial features.
Even in unpublished paparazzi shots, his images were described as “radiant,” cementing her reputation as one of C-entertainment’s most naturally beautiful Gen Z stars.
Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang were rumored to be romantically involved as early as 2020. At the time, Xu Yiyang was an artist under L.TAO Entertainment, the company founded and chaired by Huang Zitao.
After years of speculation and countless “dating clues,” the couple officially confirmed their relationship on July 14, 2024.
The romantic proposal aired in the last episode of the reality show Let’s go together on August 26, 2024. Huang Zitao reportedly held a grand engagement ceremony in Yunnan in late April, booking an entire four-star hotel and decorating it with thousands of pink flowers, Xu Yiyang’s favorite.
On December 2, 2024, the couple confirmed that they had officially registered their marriage.
In late June, rumors began circulating that the couple had already welcomed their first child. Paparazzi footage reportedly showed Xu Yiyang’s mother carefully carrying a baby, accompanied by a nanny, to the couple’s private residence.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Huang Zitao accidentally mentioned “spend time with family, with my wife, with my son” during a live stream before quickly correcting himself to say “colleagues”.
Despite growing rumors, the couple has neither confirmed nor denied having a child. Huang Zitao, however, has publicly denied claims that they used a US surrogacy service.
As early as August 2024, rumors about Xu Yiyang’s pregnancy had already spread. Fans noticed her wearing loose clothing during the proposal video and often placing her hand on her abdomen details often interpreted as signs of pregnancy.
No official confirmation has arrived yet.
As one of the most talked about celebrity couples of the past year, every move Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang make attracts intense public attention. Whether it’s a 27-second shopping clip or a single offhand comment, their private lives continue to dominate the headlines.
