SHANGHAI (SCMP): Ever since celebrated actor Huang Xiaoming revealed that his new girlfriend was Ye Ke there has been much speculation on social media about who the woman is and how she managed to hook the performer.

Entertainment industry businessman Huang, 46, who is among the best paid actors in the country, divorced actress and model Angelababy in 2022.

The former couple’s son, a seven-year-old nicknamed Little Sponge, is in the custody of his mother.

In mid-September rumours surfaced that Huang was dating Ye, a Shenzhen entrepreneur.

“Sorry to occupy public resources. Please don’t do any more guessing. Yes, we are together,” said Huang, inserting the Weibo account of Ye in his post.

Soon afterwards, Ye relayed this post adding a red heart along with it.

The couple’s announcement soon became the most searched news item in China.

After graduating from Shenzhen University with a major in broadcasting, Ye’s first job was as a presenter at a local radio station. Five years later, she quit to establish a biological technology company.

This venture expanded into cosmetics, restaurants, and e-commerce.

Several years previously Ye had created a high-end women’s golf garment brand.

She is also a member of the council at Shenzhen Women’s Chamber of Commerce.

With half a million followers on Douyin, Ye occasionally conducts live-streaming events to sell beauty products.

She divorced four years ago and her son and daughter from her first marriage are in the custody of her ex-husband, who runs a mining company.

It is not clear how Huang and Ye got to know each other.

One internet user claimed that he saw Huang accompany Ye to a prenatal checkup at a private clinic, sparking unconfirmed rumours that she was pregnant. - South China Morning Post
