According to 163the actor chose not to bring his son, Little Sponge, or his newborn daughter back to Hainan to celebrate with his parents in order to maintain peace within the family and avoid public controversy. Industry sources say so Huang Xiaoming “strictly prohibited” to his ex-girlfriend, the beautiful Ye Ke, to bring her daughter to her family’s home during the holidays to avoid gossip and unnecessary attention.
Small sponge also reportedly not visit his paternal grandparents this year. Ahead of the Lunar New Year, Angelababy took her son to Shanghai instead of spending the holiday in Hong Kong with her side of the family.
Sources suggest Huang Xiaoming was worried that he would appear biased if just one child visited his grandparents. Since her daughter is still very young and cannot be separated from her mother, only allowing Little Sponge to return home could have sparked criticism that she was favoring her son over her daughter. As a result, despite missing his grandson after not seeing him for almost a year, Huang Xiaoming’s parents have reportedly accepted the situation.
After his divorce from Angelababy in 2022, Huang Xiaoming began a controversial relationship with Ye Ke, who is 15 years younger. After Ye Ke Alleged past scandals involving fraud and infidelity have surfacedthe actor he reportedly ended the relationship despite her pregnancy at the time. In February 2025, Ye Ke was said to have quietly given birth to a daughter. Insiders say so Huang Xiaoming is willing to acknowledge and raise his daughter, but has no intention of rekindling his relationship with Ye Ke.
Meanwhile, Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy, once one of the highest profile couples in Chinese entertainment, recently improved their relationship for the sake of their son. Earlier this year, the two were said to have reconciled tensions and reached a more amicable co-parenting agreement.
Despite the divorce, Huang Xiaoming’s family is reportedly still very fond of Angelababy. From the end of 2024, his parents reportedly encouraged him to remarry after his breakup with Ye Ke. According to sources, they openly stated that “Angelababy is the only daughter-in-law they recognize.” Photos of the actor’s wedding to Angelababy are still displayed in his family’s home in Qingdao, reflecting their lingering affection for the former couple’s marriage.
While none of the parties involved have publicly confirmed this newsthe situation continues to attract attention fans speculate on the future of Huang Xiaoming’s family dynamics.
