Top Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming has once again found himself in the spotlight after being spotted on a camping trip with his girlfriend, Ye Ke, months after rumors of their breakup spread online.
As per VN Express , A fan posted a photo on Weibo of Huang enjoying a sunset at a campsite, describing him as "down-to-earth" and "looking younger than his age, 47."
According to the post, a woman was seen sharing a tent with Huang, and later identified as Ye Ke, his controversial girlfriend and the mother of his child.
The appearance follows months of rumors about the couple's relationship.
In December 2024, Huang removed a Weibo post confirming their relationship, making some speculate that the couple may have broken up.
Ye Ke, an influencer and entrepreneur, has faced intense public scrutiny since being linked with Huang.
She has been accused of flashing her fortune, lying about her past, and duping the actor in a "love scam," as some critics have called it.
Complicating the battle was the fact that media reports in November 2024 alleged that Ye Ke was seeking a $37 million "break-up fee" from Huang, claims she refuted publicly.
Huang, who is one of China's highest-paid actors and was previously married to the actress Angelababy, apologized in a public statement in late 2024 as the backlash to his relationship built.
He apologized for the drama that was surrounding his personal life at the time, bowing before fans and reporters.
In February 2025, Ye Ke allegedly gave birth to the pair's daughter, adding to interest in the couple's status.
There has been a persistent rumor that both of them were co-parenting, but no longer involved romantically.
Huang and Ye Ke are yet to publicly acknowledge their most recent sighting or the status of their relationship.
Huang's fans remain divided. While some praised the actor for appearing "normal" and "peaceful" during his outdoor getaway, others expressed concern about his continued involvement with Ye Ke.
As of press time, representatives for both Huang and Ye Ke have declined to comment.
