According to 163, the 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 claim Huang Xiaoming “strictly barred” his ex-girlfriend, hot girl Ye Ke, from bringing their daughter to his family home during the holiday to prevent gossip and unnecessary attention.
Little Sponge also reportedly did not visit his paternal grandparents this year. Ahead of Lunar New Year’s Eve, Angelababy took their son to Shanghai instead of spending the holiday in Hong Kong with her side of the family.
Sources suggest Huang Xiaoming was concerned about appearing biased if only one child visited the grandparents. Since his daughter is still very young and cannot be separated from her mother, allowing only Little Sponge to return home could have sparked criticism that he was favoring his son over his daughter. As a result, despite missing their grandson after not seeing him for nearly a year, Huang Xiaoming’s parents reportedly accepted the situation.
Following his 2022 divorce from Angelababy, Huang Xiaoming entered a controversial relationship with Ye Ke, who is 15 years younger. After Ye Ke’s alleged past scandals involving fraud and infidelity surfaced, the actor 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 claim 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 most high-profile couples in Chinese entertainment—have 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 arrangement.
Despite the divorce, Huang Xiaoming’s family is reportedly still very fond of Angelababy. Since late 2024, his parents have allegedly encouraged him to remarry her after his breakup with Ye Ke. According to sources, they openly stated that “Angelababy is the only daughter-in-law they recognize.” The actor’s wedding photos with Angelababy are still displayed at his family home in Qingdao, reflecting their lingering affection for the former couple’s marriage.
While none of the parties involved have publicly confirmed these reports, the situation continues to draw attention as fans speculate about the future of Huang Xiaoming’s family dynamics.
