On August 7, during a live beauty stream, Chinese influencer Ye Ke publicly confirmed for the first time that she had given birth and had broken up with actor Huang Xiaoming.
“Can you believe I’m a 33-year-old woman who just had a baby and still manages to take care of her skin?” she joked with viewers, sharing her simple routine of “face masks, moisturizer, and sleep.”
More importantly, Ye Ke candidly acknowledged that her relationship with Huang Xiaoming had ended for “very practical reasons”. However, she emphasized the positive impact he had on her, saying, “He taught me principles of behavior and business skills. Those won’t be forgotten, even though we’ve parted ways.”
Their relationship was first confirmed by Huang Xiaoming on September 19, 2024, with a post on Weibo stating, “Stop guessing—she’s mine now.” But not long after, the relationship became mired in controversy. Ye Ke was accused by her ex-husband of infidelity and alleged to have attended “gold digger training classes.” She later denied all claims in an official statement in November 2024 and deleted her social media accounts, citing health and family reasons.
By December, Chinese media noted that Huang Xiaoming’s online biography had changed to list Ye Ke as a “former girlfriend,” and the original Weibo post announcing their relationship disappeared. However, he was still seen taking her to prenatal appointments at the time.
Though she remained silent on rumors of childbirth for months, Ye Ke resumed livestreaming in July 2025, declaring, “It’s the return of a missing person.” Her comeback stream attracted over 100,000 viewers.
When asked why she returned to livestreaming, she offered a powerful response, “Never be ashamed of earning money. As long as you’re working and not begging, everything you do is valid.”
While both parties have now quietly moved on, Ye Ke’s words reflect not only the end of a high-profile relationship, but also a new chapter of resilience and independence.
