On December 2, Tao (Huang Zitao) announced the news of his wedding on his SNS account by posting the phrase “Goal achieved” along with several photos.
The above images show Tao and Xu Yiyang, a former SM Entertainment trainee and Tao’s company artist, holding a marriage certificate together. Tao further confirmed the union with emojis of the bride and groom, making their wedding announcement official.
Xu Yiyang, Tao’s wife, is known for her time as an SM apprentice. In 2016, she appeared in “My SM Television” together with aespa’s Ningning. After leaving SM in 2018, Xu pursued a career as a singer and actress in China.
Rumors about their relationship have been circulating since 2020. It wasn’t until July this year that the couple officially acknowledged that they were dating.
Tao had previously expressed his love publicly, sharing a photo of the couple kissing by the sea with the caption, “I hope we will be together forever.”
In August, a video of Tao proposing to Xu surfaced online, capturing a touching moment in which Tao knelt before Xu and said: “From the moment we first met, I believed our journey was already destined. Please walk this path with me to the end. May I have the honor of marrying you? Can you promise that?”
The proposal garnered applause and admiration from fans.
Meanwhile, Tao debuted as a member of EXO under SM Entertainment in 2012, but left the group in 2015 after three years of activity. He is now focused on his career in China.
