On December 1, Ye Ke appeared in an online sales session. In the middle of speaking with customers, a child’s cry could be heard in the background. Smiling, she said, “Let me check on her,” before briefly pausing the session to comfort the baby. She quickly returned and apologized to viewers.
In a previous livestream, Ye Ke had candidly shared her financial challenges. Like many single mothers, she is juggling parenthood with work, burdened by mortgage payments and car loans totaling around 100,000 yuan per month. Just three months after giving birth, she returned to work, hosting hours-long livestreams daily while also caring for her newborn.
Her revelations drew widespread sympathy. One commenter wrote, “Juggling livestream sales and child-rearing is exhaustin being a single mom isn’t easy.” Others shifted the spotlight to actor Huang Xiaoming, asking, “Where is the father of the baby? If it’s Huang Xiaoming, isn’t this deeply irresponsible?”
Some observers saw Ye Ke’s candidness as a strategic move integrating her struggles into her public image to boost relatability and income, while also subtly pressuring her ex.
Ye Ke and Huang Xiaoming went public with their relationship in September 2024. Rumors swirled online, including claims that she received a massive allowance and trained to become a socialite. In November 2024, she denied the rumors via Weibo and announced she would step back from social media at her family’s request. She reportedly gave birth to a baby girl in February 2025, and confirmed their breakup in August.
Born in 1977, Huang Xiaoming is one of China’s most powerful actors, known for The Return of the Condor Heroes, Shanghai Bund, Royal Tramp, Summer’s Desire, and The Glory and the Dream. He married actress Angelababy in 2015 after going public in 2014. Their son was born in January 2017. The couple divorced in January 2022, and Huang began dating Ye Ke shortly afterward.
Ye Ke, a graduate of Shenzhen University and former campus beauty queen, placed in the Top 50 of Hunan TV’s beauty rankings in 2020 and won a popular MC competition. She was previously married to a Shenzhen businessman and became a lifestyle influencer on Xiaohongshu. She publicly launched her own fashion brand and beauty clinic, though some netizens accused her of editing her appearance online and attending classes aimed at marrying wealthy men.
